• Tort Option   
  In Pennsylvania, you and your family need full insurance protection. What an insurance company may call “full coverage” is not always full protection. In Pennsylvania, you are required to select a Tort Option. The choices are called “Full Tort” and “Limited Tort”. An accident victim who selects Full Tort has the right to seek money damages for pain and suffering without having to demonstrate that they sustained a serious injury. Accident victims who select the Limited Tort must prove that they suffered a “serious injury” which is defined as “death, serious impairment of body function or permanent serious disfigurement”.
• Underinsured – Uninsured Motorist Coverages   
  There is one thing that is worse than getting into a motor vehicle accident in the first place, and that is getting into an accident with an uninsured motorist. Fortunately, if you have uninsured motorist coverage, your insurance company will pay you the compensation for the accident that you cannot recover from the uninsured motorist.
