Motor Vehicle Accidents

Philadelphia and Allentown, Pennsylvania, New Jersey

The highways, interstates, and parkways in New Jersey and Pennsylvania can be dangerous places. Motor vehicle accidents are a common sight on our roadways; all too often, these accidents result in catastrophic personal injury and even wrongful death.

According to the United States Census Bureau, an average of 700 people in New Jersey and 1,500 people in Pennsylvania die in motor vehicle accidents every year. The majority of these deaths are caused by truck accidents, but motorcycle accidents and passenger vehicle accidents also contribute to serious injury and death on the open road.

Causes of Motor Vehicle Accidents

Any number of factors might be involved in a motor vehicle accident, which can involve multiple cars or trucks and even pedestrians. Some of the most common causes include:

• Distracted driving
• Negligence
• Drunk driving
• Speeding
• Weather conditions
• Defective roadways
• Defective vehicles

In the aftermath of an accident, it is often unclear exactly who (or what) was at fault. Sometimes the blame might fall on a driver when the actual cause was a dangerous roadway that was not properly maintained by local government entities, or else a defective vehicle part ignored by a manufacturer.

The experienced Philadelphia car accident attorneys at Wapner, Newman, Wigrizer, Brecher & Miller can perform a full investigation of your accident to ensure every circumstance is taken into account. We often turn up new evidence in these cases that sheds light on factors that the motorists involved were entirely unaware of. We will then pursue compensation from every party responsible for the accident.
