Car Accidents in Pennsylvania

Suffering serious injuries or losing a loved one in a traffic accident is a life-altering tragedy. Unfortunately, these devastating incidents occur far too often. In Pennsylvania alone, more than 1,100 lives are lost annually due to motor vehicle crashes. Many of these accidents are caused by preventable acts of negligence, including failure to yield and distracted driving.

For example, failing to yield is one of the most common causes of pedestrian-related accidents. When drivers disregard traffic laws and fail to stop for pedestrians, the consequences can be catastrophic. Similarly, distracted driving continues to pose a serious danger on Pennsylvania roadways. Drivers who text, talk, eat, or otherwise divert their attention from the road can cause severe and even fatal crashes.

If you or a loved one has been injured—or worse, lost their life—due to the reckless or careless actions of another motorist, you may be entitled to pursue a legal claim. Taking swift action by consulting with a car accident attorney can help you protect your rights and explore your options for financial recovery.
