Deadly Vehicle Accidents in Pennsylvania

Driver carelessness and negligence behind the wheel are our state's top causes of auto accidents. Of course, car accidents occur for various reasons, and occasionally they result from random chance. Moreover, regardless of the cause of your wreck, you could end up with serious, painful injuries in any accident.

For instance, when drivers do not yield to pedestrians who are passing in the area nearby, they can strike them and cause severe or fatal injuries. Furthermore, a lot of people fail to stop at intersections, resulting in severe accidents that result in devastating injuries for those involved.

Even worse, it is not uncommon for negligent drivers to inflict significant injuries, which have terrible implications for victims, if they disregard risks on the roads or otherwise fail to pay attention to their surroundings. This leaves victims to deal with the painful aftermath of an accident that occurred through no fault of their own. In fact, driver distraction has emerged as one of the most significant contributors to collisions over the course of the last several decades. Unfortunately, many individuals text, chat with other people or even eat while behind the wheel of their vehicle.

Long-term, painful injuries or the tragic loss of a loved one as a result of an accident is something that no victim or family should ever have to endure.
