Is Pennsylvania a No-Fault State?
Pennsylvania is a no-fault state. Therefore, residents of the state can file a claim with their own insurance company if they are injured in a car accident.
By filing a claim with their own insurance company, many people feel that they are guaranteed compensation for their injuries and that receiving benefits will be an easy process. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. Insurance claims can be denied or undervalued, and you may be left unable to cover your expenses. For this reason, it is essential to have an attorney on your side who will fight for the compensation you deserve.
Car Accident Causes
Car accidents can be caused by the negligence of drivers, as well as external factors that may be the result of another party’s negligence. Determining the cause of a car accident is an important part of identifying liability and eventually recovering compensation for losses.
Some of the most common causes of car accidents include:
- Reckless driving
- Distracted driving
- Road conditions
- Mechanical issues
- Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
- Inclement weather
Car Accident Damages
Car accidents cause extensive damage — both financial and non-economic. If you have been injured in a car accident, it is likely that most of your financial damages are medical bills. You may have also sustained property damage. To resolve this issue, you may need to pay for repairs, a new vehicle, or temporary transportation (such as a rental car, public transportation, or rideshare services). Additionally, you may not be able to work because of your injuries. If so, the expenses resulting from lost wages are an additional cost.
Being injured in a car accident can cause a person to suffer from significant non-economic damages. Non-economic damages include any cost resulting from a car accident that is not tangible, such as pain and suffering. It is possible to recover compensation for non-economic damages as well.

I have a friend who sought help from Fellerman & Ciarimboli and said they were very nice and helpful. So when I needed assistance, they were the first ones I thought of, and gave them a call. I was connected to Attorney Molly Clark, who made a significant impact. Her comforting personality created a welcoming environment during our interactions, turning what could have been a somber experience into one filled with positivity. Our upbeat conversations, in contrast to the challenging situation, improved my well-being.
What truly won me over was Molly's commitment to keeping me informed about the progress of my situation. Whenever I called her with questions, she promptly provided answers, ensuring I had the information I needed when I needed it. Working with Fellerman & Ciarimboli was a positive experience given the circumstances I was facing. I highly recommend Attorney Molly and the firm to anyone seeking reliable and compassionate assistance during challenging times.

There are no adequate words to convey to you, Mike, and Ed how grateful our family is for all of your hard work in helping us through the most difficult time of our lives. Your commitment to justice is unlike anything we have ever witnessed. Our tragedy became your tragedy. The three of you have become part of our family.
Harry, you explained everything necessary in terms which were comprehensible and helpful to us to better understand all that was presented. We are so grateful for that.
The compassion shown to us by not only the three of you, but everyone to whom we encountered at Fellerman & Ciarimboli was off the charts and so sincere.
We will grieve our profound loss for the rest of our lives, but all of you helped to make it a bit easier, and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
God's Blessings to you and your family.

I was in a bad accident and I had my daughter in the car with me. I highly recommend this firm. My attorney Myer Messinger was very compassionate and offered empathy with helping me and my daughter with the mental agony we experienced after the accident. Mr Messinger is very professional and knowledgeable. We sat for hours for the mediation and he fought to get me the best settlement- Enide Jerome
