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.

Legal Representation for Automobile Accident Victims
If you or a family member has been involved in an automobile accident, you need to contact Steven F. Reilly, PC at (610) 272-7075, to review your case.  The Pennsylvania laws that govern auto accidents are complex and can be very confusing.  Steve Reilly, a Pennsylvania auto accident lawyer, will go over your legal rights as an accident victim and will explain your options.  Whether your case goes to court or is settled without a trial, Steve provides expert legal representation to help you receive compensation for your injuries.

As a client of Steve Reilly, you will receive personalized attention and will be able to talk with Steve directly about your claim.  Steve Reilly limits the number of cases that he is willing to represent so that he can give his clients the attention they deserve.  He knows that going through litigation after an auto accident can be overwhelming, which is why he takes the time to answer every question and thoroughly explains each step of the legal process.  You do not pay anything unless your case is won.  Steve works with automobile accident cases involving:

  • Cars, trucks and motorcycles
  • Drunk driving
  • Fatalities
  • Serious injuries of drivers and/or passengers
  • Defective vehicles
  • Faulty products (car seat, tires, equipment, etc.)
  • Unsafe road conditions

Steven F. Reilly, PC, located in Norristown, Pennsylvania, represents auto accidents that occurred on I-76 Schuylkill Expressway, I-476 Blue Route, I-95 Vietnam Veterans Memorial Highway, I-276 and Pennsylvania Turnpike.

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. For example, in some instances, you can bring a claim against the driver’s employer if the accident occurred while the employee was within the course and scope of employment at the time of the event. By reviewing the specifics of your case, Steve Reilly, an experienced automobile accident lawyer, will be able to determine who is ultimately liable for the accident.

There are situations in which an injury or fatality in an auto accident was caused by a defect in the vehicle or a product such as an infant or child car seat, tires or other equipment.  Steve Reilly will analyze the details of the accident to see if you have a claim against the product manufacturer as well.
