- Q. Can I challenge a low accident settlement in PA due to replacement vehicle cost?
- A: Yes, you can challenge the insurance company’s settlement offer if you believe the actual cash value (ACV) of your vehicle was undervalued. In Pennsylvania, insurers are required to base their ACV offer on fair market value, which should reflect what it would cost to purchase a comparable vehicle in your area. If the amount they’ve offered won’t realistically allow you to replace your car with a similar one, you can dispute the valuation by providing evidence, such as recent listings for comparable vehicles, dealership quotes, or an independent appraisal.
That said, you generally cannot recover more than the market value of the vehicle just because replacing it will create a financial ... Read More
- Q. Can I sue the at-fault driver for a new vehicle if insurance only covered my car loan?
- A: In most cases, you can’t sue the at-fault driver for the full cost of a new vehicle if their insurance already paid out the fair market value of your totaled car. Pennsylvania law typically only requires the at-fault driver to cover the actual cash value at the time of the accident, not the cost to replace the car or pay off your loan. If the payout only covered what you owed and left nothing toward a new vehicle, that likely means your car was “underwater” on the loan. If you believe the insurance company undervalued your vehicle, you may be able to dispute the amount or file a claim, but you'd need solid documentation showing your car was worth more. These cases can get complicated ... Read More
- Q. Do I have to sign a release for workers' comp to access my Medicare and SSDI info in PA?
- A: In Pennsylvania, you are not legally obligated to sign a release allowing the workers' compensation insurance carrier access to your Medicare or Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) information. Such requests typically arise during settlement discussions, particularly when a Workers' Compensation Medicare Set-Aside Arrangement (WCMSA) is being considered to ensure Medicare's interests are protected in the settlement process. If you are not currently engaged in settlement negotiations or do not have a reasonable expectation of becoming eligible for Medicare within 30 months, there may be no immediate need to provide this information.
However, it's important to understand ... Read More
