The Dangers of Intersection Collisions in Pennsylvania
Busy intersections like Pennsylvania Ave and W Union Blvd pose increased risks for motorists, as multiple lanes of traffic converge, often leading to miscalculations or failure to obey traffic signals. Many intersection accidents result from drivers running red lights, making improper left turns, or failing to yield to oncoming traffic.
In Pennsylvania, thousands of intersection-related crashes occur each year, leading to significant injuries and financial burdens for victims. Medical treatment, vehicle repairs, and lost wages can create long-term hardships for those involved in serious accidents. Understanding legal rights and seeking appropriate guidance can help individuals recover compensation for their damages.
