Cranberry Township Accident Statistics

Cranberry Township commuters traveling to and from Pittsburgh often take Routes 19, I-79, and I-279 to get to work every day. Along with busy commuters, these highways are hubs for commercial vehicles—naturally increasing the risk of Cranberry Township truck accidents. I-79 is particularly dangerous with blind curves and aggressive drivers; if someone is unfamiliar with the route, it’s easy to get confused or distracted and cause a catastrophic crash.

In 2023, PennDOT recorded 110,382 crashes with 1,209 fatalities (the second-highest in a decade). Construction zones—common near Cranberry’s growing Route 228 corridor—accounted for 1,216 crashes statewide, resulting in 22 deaths and 689 injuries. Weather worsens these risks, especially on Freedom Road’s steep grade during winter storms.

If you were injured in a car crash, you need a Cranberry Township injury attorney familiar with local accident sites, regulations, and the Butler County Court of Common Pleas.

Pennsylvania Insurance Laws for Cranberry Township

Pennsylvania operates on a “choice no-fault system” in car accidents. How does that affect your claim? Here’s a breakdown:

Full vs. limited tort coverage: Drivers choose between full and limited tort. Full tort preserves all rights to sue for damages, including pain and suffering. Limited (no-fault) coverage means your own insurer pays your medical bills under PIP and restricts your ability to sue for non-economic damages.

Comparative Negligence in Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania follows a modified comparative negligence rule. You can recover damages as long as you’re not more than 51% at fault. Your award is reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if another driver ran a red light but you were speeding, you might be found 20% at fault—entitling you to 80% of your total damages. We conduct independent investigations to minimize your fault and maximize your compensation.
