Pennsylvania Commonwealth Injury Car Accidents
Accidents involving motor vehicles take place at all hours of the day and night throughout the state of Pennsylvania, with some being more severe than others. Every year, there are tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of motor vehicle collisions that leave victims with injuries, sometimes fatal.
In fact, authorities say that more than 59,500 victims were hurt in Pennsylvania auto accidents over the total span of just one recent year in the Commonwealth.
On main roads and major arteries, like I-95, accidents like this may be brought on by a multitude of factors, including driver distraction, impairment, excessive speeding and/or reckless driving, and more.
