Car Accident
Vehicle accidents are serious. Unfortunately, they occur with such regularity that we often forget just how much they can cost us. When it comes to crashes in Pennsylvania, there were more than 128,000 during the latest reporting year according to DOT statistics. Out of those, there were:
Think about how many lives are affected each year due to these accidents. What we are learning now is that, particularly here in Philadelphia, hit-and-run incidents are becoming an epidemic.

Police say that they get around 40 calls a day for vehicular hit-and-run incidents. Between 2017 and 2018, they said there were nearly 29,000 such calls across the city. Out of those incidents, 24 people lost their lives. Those are overwhelming numbers that are keeping investigators from handling other cases.
Let’s put aside, for a moment, that this is frustrating for law enforcement. Think about the victims of hit-and-run incidents. They are often left with tremendous expenses because their insurance is not adequate enough or simply refuses to offer a settlement.
Even minor injuries from a crash can result in medical bills in the thousands of dollars. For more significant injuries, the medical costs can run into the hundreds of thousands of dollars. What people often do not think about are other hidden costs associated with accidents. This can include:
Often, we discover that a person left the scene of a crash because they were intoxicated at the time of the incident. We are also finding that more and more people were staring at their phone screens at the time of impact.
Police say that the consequences just are not harsh enough and that there is a good chance they will get away with it.
