Car Accident

Someone died every 6 hours in Pennsylvania due to traffic accidents, according to the 2006 Pennsylvania Crash Facts and Statistics. That same year, there were 265 people injured each day as a result of automobile crashes, according to the Pennsylvania report. Even cautious drivers find themselves involved in major collisions.

An automobile accident can be a traumatic event, especially if the driver or passengers are seriously injured. There are many causes of motor vehicle crashes and it is common for negligence to be a major factor. A distracted driver, defective vehicle, faulty products and unsafe road conditions can all result in a tragic accident. The stress of an accident continues after the event as the insurance companies can be very difficult to work with. Even if you do not know who is to blame for the accident, you should contact an experienced Pennsylvania auto accident attorney to go over your case.

Automobile Accident Claim
The amount of money you could be awarded in damages depends on the specifics of your case. Generally, you are entitled to compensation for property damages, lost wages, medical expenses, as well as pain and suffering. If the accident was caused by a drunk driver, you may also be able to receive punitive damages and could have a claim against the business that served the driver excessive alcohol. In the event that a death occurred from the collision, a wrongful death claim and survival action claim may be appropriate. A successful case could result in a substantial settlement from the other driver or liable party.

It is often difficult for an injured accident victim or family member to understand who was at fault.
