Pennsylvania Auto Insurance Requirements

Pennsylvania is a "Choice No-Fault" state, which means you can choose between a "Tort" and a "No-Fault"/"Limited Tort" auto insurance policy.

Under the tort system, you are financially responsible for any personal injuries or property damage from an auto accident in which you were at fault. But because tort is limited, suing is limited to only direct expenses like medical bills, not for non-financial damages like “pain and suffering,” unless the damages are very serious. The tort system holds a lower premium than no-fault.
