Hit-and-Run Accidents in Pennsylvania
Hit-and-run accidents pose a serious challenge in Pennsylvania, where hundreds of such cases occur each year. Due to traffic flow and congestion, intersections like Lincoln Hwy E and Clayton Ave are often high-risk zones. In many cases, hit-and-runs result from distracted driving, speeding, or impaired driving, particularly during evening hours when visibility may be limited.
Victims of hit-and-run accidents often face additional hurdles in recovering compensation, as they may lack information on the responsible party. Pennsylvania law mandates that all drivers stop and report their involvement in any accident. Failing to do so can result in legal consequences, including fines and possible jail time.
For those impacted by a hit-and-run accident, timely support and guidance can make a significant difference in navigating the aftermath, especially regarding medical bills and insurance claims.
