Full Tort vs Full Coverage Insurance in PA: What’s the Difference?

Full tort and full coverage insurance are two distinct concepts in Pennsylvania’s auto insurance system. While it’s easy to confuse the two, a lack of clarity about your insurance coverage can lead to a rude awakening after a car accident.

Pennsylvania’s choice no-fault car insurance system gives drivers important options that directly affect their rights to compensation following a collision.
