Automobile Accidents

Every year, there are tens of thousands of car accidents on Pennsylvania’s roadways, and a high percentage of those accidents result in serious personal injuries. In 2006 alone, there were more than 128,000 motor vehicle accidents resulting in more than 1,500 traffic fatalities in the State of Pennsylvania.  At Rewis & Yoder P.C., our attorneys have an impressive track record representing individuals who have suffered significant injuries in car accidents across the state.

Accident victims can collect damages from the negligent party and insurance companies for medical bills and future required medical care, lost wages, and loss of future earnings, pain and suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life. In the unfortunate event of a fatal car crash, family members may be entitled to sue the at fault party for wrongful death damages, including economic loss, emotional anguish and loss of consortium of the loved one.

There are many factors that can result in a traffic accident, and sometimes multiple causes contribute to a single accident.  It is statistically proven that drunk or intoxicated drivers are a major cause of many motor vehicle accidents.  In fact, approximately 37% of all motor vehicle accidents that result in fatalities are caused by individuals under the influence of alcohol.

Aggressive driving is an issue that continues to be a problem on our highways and jeopardizes the safety of all drivers who share the road with those who operate their vehicle in a reckless and careless manner. In 2007 aggressive driving played a role in 74,887 motor vehicle crashes. Aggressive driving includes such behaviors as speeding, failing to obey traffic control devices and careless lane changes. Speed-related highway deaths across the state climbed to 734 last year from 663 in 2006.  There are many factors that can contribute to or cause a motor vehicle accident which may entitle you to recovery including, but not limited to, driver distractions, mechanical failures, driver impairment due to lack of sleep, and poor road conditions.  Our staff is prepared to evaluate the merits of your case and quickly determine who should be included as a party to your legal action.
