Giedre Suter v. Allstate Fire and Casualty Insurance Company

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania personal injury lawyers represented Plaintiff who used Defendant on an auto negligence insurance law theory.



"Pennsylvania follows a modified comparative negligence rule, which means that you can recover damages if you are less than 50% at fault for an accident. If you are found to be more than 50% at fault, you will not be able to recover any damages.



The court will assign percentages of fault to each party involved in the accident. The plaintiff's recovery will be reduced by the percentage of fault that is attributed to them. For example, if the plaintiff is found to be 20% at fault and the defendant is found to be 80% at fault, the plaintiff will only be able to recover 80% of their damages.



There are a few exceptions to the modified comparative negligence rule. For example, if the defendant's negligence was willful or wanton, the plaintiff may be able to recover damages even if they are more than 50% at fault.



If you have been injured in an auto accident, it is important to speak with an experienced personal injury attorney to discuss your legal options. An attorney can help you understand the modified comparative negligence rule and how it may affect your case."
