Motor vehicle accidents are a leading cause of death and serious injuries in Pennsylvania. If you were involved in a car crash on Route 15, I-81, or a local road, you need the experienced Enola car accident attorneys from Shollenberger Januzzi & Wolfe, LLP.
Common Causes of Traffic Accidents on Enola Roads
Nearly all car crashes are preventable if drivers, townships, and vehicle manufacturers follow state traffic and safety laws. Nonetheless, over 100,000 motor vehicle accidents – and 1,000 fatal collisions – occur on Pennsylvania roads each year. Driver mistakes are the leading cause of Enola traffic crashes, though other factors – such as failure to maintain roadways and traffic devices – might contribute to collisions.
Driver Errors Resulting in Car Crashes
In most car accident cases, our experienced legal investigators uncover evidence of the following negligent driving behaviors:
- Texting
- Fatigue
- Speeding
- Illegal turns
- Failure to yield
- DUI
- Following too closely
- Unsafe lane changes
- Disobeying traffic control devices (running stop signs and red lights)
Contacting our Enola traffic accident lawyers immediately is critical for preserving evidence of driver negligence. Our legal investigators might quickly request traffic camera footage, CCTV recordings, crash scene photographs, police reports, and witness information before it’s lost. We might even cover the cost upfront of hiring dedicated private investigators and accident reconstruction specialists if you suffer from serious car crash injuries in Pennsylvania.
Obtaining Compensation for Victims of Driver Negligence
Car crashes – especially T-bone collisions and high-speed accidents – commonly cause significant spinal cord damage and traumatic brain injuries. Claimants might also suffer from catastrophic third-degree burns during car fires and painful, traumatic fractures and nerve damage. If you suffered a severe injury in an Enola car crash, our dedicated auto accident negotiators might help you recover personal injury damages from the following parties:
Auto Insurers
Most car accident claims settle with the negligent driver’s auto insurance company to cover your medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. If this coverage is not sufficient, as is often the case in catastrophic injury cases, our lawyers might help you demand additional damages from your underinsured motorist policy. We could also fight for benefits from your uninsured motorist policy or state resource funds if you were injured in a hit-and-run crash.
Negligent Drivers
Some negligent drivers have the financial resources necessary to provide additional compensation to injured claimants. In appropriate cases, we might demand damages directly from the negligent driver – especially if the crash involved racing, reckless driving, or intoxication.
Employers/Vehicle Owners
If you were injured by an on-the-job driver, his or her employer is vicariously liable for your injuries. Our dedicated car accident attorneys might demand settlements from employers, corporate vehicle owners, and any available umbrella insurance policies.
Every crash case differs, but our experienced traffic collision litigators stop at nothing to maximize the damages available in your case.
