Under 75 Pa.C.S. § 1705(d), which of the following injuries to a Limited Tort insured does NOT qualify as a 'serious injury' allowing recovery of non-economic damages?
Soft-tissue strain that resolves within two weeks
BDeath resulting from the motor vehicle accident
CA serious impairment of body function that meets the statutory serious-injury threshold
DPermanent serious disfigurement caused by the motor vehicle accident
Why this is the answer
Section 1705(d) defines 'serious injury' as death, serious impairment of body function, or permanent serious disfigurement. A short-lived soft-tissue strain that resolves without lasting impairment does not meet the threshold, so a Limited Tort insured could not maintain a non-economic damages claim.
