Understanding Car Accidents in Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania’s extensive highway system experiences significant daily traffic, including a substantial volume of commercial trucks. This heavy traffic flow, combined with multi-lane highways and busy interstates, creates conditions where serious accidents can occur.

Recent data shows Lancaster County is one of the top counties in Pennsylvania to report the most traffic accidents in the county. It is also one of the top counties to have the most traffic fatalities in the Commonwealth.

Accident victims often face significant challenges when pursuing claims, particularly in cases involving commercial trucks. Insurance companies typically prioritize minimizing payouts, while trucking companies employ substantial legal resources to protect their interests. This can leave injured parties struggling to secure fair compensation for their losses.
