  • FAQs

    • What problems arise when your car is damaged in a car accident?
      Insurers focus upon collision claims to save money, particularly on total losses. Most total loss claims are evaluated using a third party company that locates comparable vehicles in the same region. Often the numbers don’t match actual market values. Insurers will also cut short rental coverage as soon as a vehicle is declared a total loss, often before the vehicle owner has even received the claim payment necessary to purchase a replacement vehicle. If you are experiencing these issues, we may be able to provide guidance and advice.
    • What’s the difference between full tort and limited tort in Pennsylvania?
      If you have limited tort coverage, you waived your right to compensation for non-economic harm (pain and suffering). However, if you suffered a serious injury you may be entitled to compensation. Injuries that may overcome limited tort include: facial scars; surgical repair of fractured bones; surgical repair of a herniated disc of the spine; and, mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). These injuries are sometimes not immediately apparent until months after a car accident. It is thus important to get consistent medical care so that proper diagnostic tests are ordered by your physician.
    • Do I still have a case if I have limited tort?
      If you believe you suffered a serious injury, consult an attorney. Symptoms of a herniated disc include pain, numbness or tingling down either arm or leg. Symptoms of a mTBI are not limited to memory issues and may include visual and balance problems. At Mayerson Injury Law, we can evaluate your case and make recommendations on a course of care that may help overcome limited tort, particularly if you were involved in a high speed collision increasing the likelihood of serious injuries..
    • What is an insurance declaration page?
      The Declaration Page is different from a proof of insurance card. The dec page itemizes the available coverage on the policy. For instance, under state law your auto carrier must pay for your initial medical care up to $5,000. There are no copays or deductibles and you don’t need a referral. Additional coverages may include collision coverage, rental, towing, wage loss, uninsured motorist (UM) and underinsured motorist (UIM) coverage. This document is crucial after an accident and will be one of the first things an attorney will want to review. If you're unsure how to read your declaration page, we can help.
    • Do I need a local personal injury lawyer?
      Absolutely. Working with a local law firm means you’re hiring a team that understands local courts, judges, medical providers, and even insurance claims adjusters. We know the tactics used by insurers in our area and how best to respond. Our office is conveniently located in Pottstown, making in-person meetings easy for anyone in the tri-county area. We are also available for home and hospital consultations.
    • How is Mayerson Injury Law different from big-box law firms?
      We're a boutique law firm. Unlike high-volume firms that assign cases to junior associates or case managers, our seasoned attorneys handle your case directly. We are responsive to emails, texts, and phone calls. We focus on quality, not quantity, and we are proud of our reputation for going toe-to-toe with big insurance companies—and winning.
    • How much does it cost to hire your firm?
      We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you don’t pay anything until your case is resolved by settlement or verdict. This ensures that anyone can afford high-quality legal representation, regardless of financial situation. The fee structure is an industry standard so it is important to select an experienced attorney to get the best value. Don’t be fooled by high-volume firms with hundreds of lawyers on staff. The best attorneys most often don’t work for a large firm. They work for themselves and their clients. Call us. You won’t be disappointed.
