After a car accident with catastrophic injuries it's important to determine the details of what happened. In many instances, this means determining the actions that led up to the accident and who is responsible. It's possible that multiple parties could share fault for car accident injury, or a sole party could bear the brunt of it. So how does one begin this process of determining fault?
Two dead, 3 injured in crash involving state trooper
An otherwise peaceful Pennsylvania road was the scene of a horrific crash earlier this month. When an emergency vehicle, like an ambulance or police vehicle, has their siren on and lights flashing, they can reach high speeds in pursuit or in transit as backup on an emergency call. This can cause a dangerous situation for all on the road. 2 are dead and three more injured in a crash in South Heidelberg Township.
Receiving compensation after a crash with an uninsured motorist
Getting into a car and driving is an essential part of many people's days in Pennsylvania. People need to drive to work, to school, to go to the store or run other errands, visit friends and family and for many other reasons. While driving is very convenient and an easy mode of transportation, driving can also be very dangerous if people are not driving safely or not paying attention to the roads. When people do this, car accidents can occur and people can suffer significant injuries as a result.

Pennsylvania bullish on self-driving cars despite crashes
A series of crashes involving self-driving cars -- such as the March accident involving a driverless Uber vehicle in Pittsburgh -- has garnered scrutiny from both lawmakers and the media. Arizona banned Uber from testing after one of the company's autonomous vehicles killed a woman in Tempe. However, Pittsburgh did not follow suit. It was not until Uber voluntary stopped the program in the city that testing of its self-driving vehicles was halted.
1 of 6 traffic fatalities in Pennsylvania involves a motorcycle
Summer means that motorcycle enthusiasts in Pennsylvania will be hitting the roads in much greater numbers. Even though motorcyclists typically only ride with frequency in warmer months, they unfortunately account for a disproportionate number of the state's annual traffic fatalities. This is largely because a motorcycle affords its occupants significantly less protection than a car or a truck, making a motorcycle accident a far more dangerous occurrence for the rider.
One killed, 1 injured in hit-and-run
This is an exciting time at Berks County high schools as seniors graduate and other students get ready for summer. Unfortunately, students at one Pennsylvania high school are mourning a classmate killed in a hit-and-run accident.
