Pennsylvania places no cap on pain and suffering. In car accident cases, a limited tort election restricts it unless you have a serious injury, and you are barred only if your negligence is greater than the defendants'. Defendants under 60% responsible pay only their share.

Fault follows 42 Pa.C.S. 7102, with the Fair Share Act's 60% threshold for joint and several liability.
A local personal injury attorney can review your claim — many offer a free consultation.
