FAQ

Tort liability is predicated on the existence of proximate cause, which consists of both: (1) causation in fact, and (2) foreseeability. A plaintiff must prove that his or her injuries were the actual or factual result of the defendant's actions.

Think of general liability insurance coverage as a potential shield against the financial impact of tort claims. Whether the tort is based on intention, negligence or strict liability, this type of policy can help cover the following: Bodily injury. Property damage.

Comprehensive general liability insurance doesn't cover claims related to catastrophic risks. These scenarios include “acts of god” (e.g., earthquakes, floods, and earth movements like mudslides), as well as hostile acts such as damage from wars and riots.

What is tort liability? Simply put, liability refers to responsibility for an action. Tort liability indicates that someone is held accountable for wrong actions (other than under contract.). Torts are tied to civil court claims.

Simply put, Pennsylvania's tort insurance allows the injury victim to be compensated following a car accident in Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania is a “choice no-fault” insurance state. This means the driver is given the choice of either a no-fault insurance policy or an at-fault insurance policy.

The more expensive full tort option places no restrictions whatsoever on the right to seek financial compensation for bodily injury. Limited tort, on the other hand, is less expensive. But by paying less for your premiums, you are limiting your right to monetary recovery for “serious” injuries only.

If your insurance has “No Threshold” or full tort coverage, you are allowed to sue an at-fault driver who caused your injuries. This can be valuable for obtaining compensation that your insurance does not cover.

Negligence is by far the most common type of tort. Unlike intentional torts, negligence cases do not involve deliberate actions. Negligence occurs when a person fails to act carefully enough and another person gets hurt as a result. For this type of case, a person must owe a duty to another person.
