Car Accidents with Homes in Pittsburgh 

In Pennsylvania, multiple parties may be liable: the driver (most common), vehicle manufacturers (in cases of mechanical failure), government entities (for road design issues), or property owners. Pennsylvania’s insurance framework provides several avenues for compensation.

Homeowner’s Insurance

Your homeowner’s insurance typically covers structural damage to your home, regardless of fault. This coverage generally includes repairs to structural damage, temporary living expenses if your home becomes uninhabitable, and damage to personal property inside the home. However, policy limits may not cover all damages, particularly in severe cases.

Auto Insurance

The at-fault driver’s auto insurance should cover damages through property damage liability coverage and bodily injury liability coverage if you or family members were injured. Pennsylvania requires minimum liability coverage of $5,000 for property damage, which is often insufficient for serious home damage.
