Motor Vehicle Crashes in Pennsylvania
The most frequent types of car accidents in Pennsylvania are head-on collisions, T-bone smashes, and rear-end wrecks, according to the most recent study and data from Commonwealth traffic experts. These collisions usually cause severe injuries or even fatalities. Given that Pennsylvania averages more than 20,000 collisions involving several cars each year, as these sobering figures demonstrate, drivers in our state need to exercise additional caution.
Most accidents in Pennsylvania are caused by drivers who are careless and reckless and who ignore traffic signals. What’s more, identifying who was to blame in a car crash may be simple most of the time, but it may be far more complicated than you’d think otherwise. And, like in a rear-end accident, a head-on collision means that your injuries will be proportional to the other driver’s speed.
The person who rear-ended you and seriously wounded you should pay for your medical bills and lost wages if you were not at fault. Unfortunately and unfairly, after a vehicle accident leaves a policyholder with several damages, the insurer may fight against claims for long-term care expenses and reimbursement for lost wages and future potential earnings all too often.
