- Q. Liability for actors in transit accidents and potential employee status challenge in PA.
- A: In Pennsylvania, a nonprofit is generally not liable for an auto accident caused by an independent contractor who is driving a personally owned vehicle to or from a job. If, however, a court finds that the theatre exercises enough control over routes, schedules, or use of vehicles that the actors function more like employees, the organization could be held responsible and might also face a workers’ compensation claim. Courts will look beyond the written contract and focus on day-to-day realities, including who sets the itinerary, who can substitute drivers, whether the actor can refuse assignments, how payment is structured, etc. To limit exposure, be sure the actors carry adequate personal ...

- Q. Can I challenge a low accident settlement in PA due to replacement vehicle cost?
- A: Yes, you can challenge the insurance company’s settlement offer if you believe the actual cash value (ACV) of your vehicle was undervalued. In Pennsylvania, insurers are required to base their ACV offer on fair market value, which should reflect what it would cost to purchase a comparable vehicle in your area.

- Q. Can I sue the at-fault driver for a new vehicle if insurance only covered my car loan?
- A: In most cases, you can’t sue the at-fault driver for the full cost of a new vehicle if their insurance already paid out the fair market value of your totaled car. Pennsylvania law typically only requires the at-fault driver to cover the actual cash value at the time of the accident, not the cost to replace the car or pay off your loan. If the payout only covered what you owed and left nothing toward a new vehicle, that likely means your car was “underwater” on the loan. If you believe the insurance company undervalued your vehicle, you may be able to dispute the amount or file a claim, but you'd need solid documentation showing your car was worth more. These cases can get complicated ... Read More
