Road safety tips for driving in Pennsylvania

The following road safety tips are provided by our law firm to help keep drivers safe in Pennsylvania:

Your Best Defense
Of course, the best defense is to be an alert driver. Be aware of road hazards as you drive, especially in poor weather conditions or on strange roads. If you notice any dangerous conditions, report them to PennDOT (1-800-FIX-ROAD) or your local municipality immediately. Your prompt action may help to prevent a serious injury or fatality.

Suing the Government
In cases involving road safety and municipal laws, our Firm tackles tough issues on behalf of clients. We must ask questions like: Were these accidents the result of human error, poor road design, or confusing signage' And who should pay the price for these lives and injuries'

Government immunity limits what accident victims can sue for. If you meet requirements to pursue a claim against a government agency, you can then face a maximum liability cap. For example, in a recent case involving a busway crash, a $1 million cap exists for the group of people injured. There is a $250,000 cap on each person who files a claim.

Fighting the City, State or Federal Government
So what happens when you are injured in an accident where a government agency may be to blame? What if you were injured in an accident caused by a defective roadway? If you slipped on an ice patch on the courthouse steps? If you're hit by negligent driver using a city vehicle?

When dealing with a potential case against a government agency, we recommend that you seek the advice of an attorney. You must first determine if you meet the requirements to pursue a claim. Because there are time limits to filing a case, we also suggest that you seek counsel as soon as possible after your accident.
