If I get injured in a car accident but I do not have insurance, can I still sue and recover for my injuries?
You may be able to recover for your injuries. If you or anyone else in your household do not have insurance, you are considered “full tort” - meaning that you can obtain medical and wage loss benefits through another car’s insurance which was involved in the accident. If no other vehicle involved in the accident had insurance, then you may be able to obtain benefits under the Assigned Claims Plan, a Commonwealth of Pennsylvania agency. An attorney can help you fill out a benefit application, which can be complicated.
