We are often asked what is the difference between Full Tort and Limited Tort.
We accept clients who have chose either Full Tort or Limited Tort.
When you choose between Full Tort and Limited Tort on your car insurance you are making a very important decision. Often your insurance agent does not completely and fully inform you of the difference and what rights you are giving up by selecting Limited Tort. We have found it is often the case that the insurance agent does not know the difference.
Simply put, Full Tort allows you to receive money compensation for any and all injuries you sustained in a motor vehicle accident. Limited Tort severely limits your right to receive monetary compensation for your injuries sustained in a car crash.
This is why it is very important to contact the team of lawyers at Maizel Legal Associates toll free at (877) 615-6520 for your free consultation to discuss your rights.
We take both Full Tort and Limited Tort cases.
Car accidents happen every day, but when they happen to you, it can be devastating. Your injuries can be serious, you ability to work can be affected, your medical bills can add up, and your car repairs can be substantial. Our experienced team of lawyers are here to represent you.
Full Tort allows a motorist and policyholder to retain unrestricted rights to bring a lawsuit against the negligent party in an automobile accident.
Limited Tort allows drivers to save on their premiums by waiving their right to recover certain damages, such as payments for pain and suffering. This savings is typically only about fifteen (15%) percent off the premium.
With Full Tort, you are keeping your right to file suit to receive compensation for pain and suffering for injuries sustained in an accident that is someone else's fault. Limited Tort may prevent you from seeking compensation for these items, unless your injuries are found to be serious and permanent.
There are exceptions to Limited Tort that permit you to collect money for your injuries. Our team of lawyers at Maizel Legal Associates are well versed on all the exceptions and can help you collect monetary compensation for your injuries even if you selected Limited Tort.
Some of the exceptions to Limited Tort are:
A serious injury. It is very important to contact our team of lawyers to discuss whether your injury is serious.
