At\u00a0MyPhillyLawyer<\/a>, our Conshohocken car accident attorneys are here to help. We have decades of experience investigating, negotiating, and litigating all car accident lawsuits for our injured clients. We also handle\u00a0wrongful death cases arising from fatal Conshohocken car accidents<\/a>.<\/p>\n For a small town, Conshohocken sees a disproportionate number of car accidents. In fact, according to the most recent data released by PennDOT, there were 6,944 car accidents in Montgomery County in 2020. These accidents resulted in over 3,100 injuries and 35 deaths.<\/p>\n Why are Conshohocken car accidents so common?\u00a0Part of the reason there are so many Conshohocken car accidents is that the borough Myis\u00a0situated at the intersection of two major highways<\/a>.<\/p>\n Interstate 76 is one of the most congested highways in Pennsylvania, as it is the only highway leading out of Philadelphia to the north. For example, people in Philadelphia who want to visit any of the following areas have only one option if\u00a0they’re\u00a0going to take the highway:<\/p>\n On top of that, much of I-76 is only two lanes in each direction, which hardly makes it sufficient to handle the daily traffic coming in and out of Philadelphia.<\/p>\n I-476 is a much larger highway that\u00a0doesn’t\u00a0suffer the congestion problems of I-76. However, I-476 presents its problems, as the interchange between I-476 and I-76 is confusing to motorists who are unfamiliar with it and very busy.<\/p>\n The result is that although Conshohocken is small, the borough sees a tremendous amount of highway traffic passing through each day. This is\u00a0in addition to the typical car accidents<\/a> on any city street.<\/p>\n When it comes to the causes of Conshohocken car accidents, the first thing to understand is that\u00a0the vast majority of\u00a0accidents are preventable. Local drivers could avoid most accidents if all drivers paid attention to what they were doing and followed the traffic laws. However, drivers get distracted, frustrated, tired, and sometimes make mistakes. Some of the most common causes of Conshohocken car accidents include:<\/p>\n Distracted driving is one of the leading causes of car accidents in Pennsylvania<\/a>\u00a0and across the United States. Every driver is capable of getting distracted. And with the percentage of people who own a cell phone approaching 100 percent, the temptation for distraction is more significant than ever\u00a0before.<\/p>\n Distracted driving is the cause of 20 percent of all accidents resulting in motorist injury and 16 percent of all fatal accidents. According to PennDOT, in 2020, there were more than 11,000 distracted driving car accidents in Pennsylvania, resulting in 43 fatalities. However, the number of accidents caused by distracted driving is likely much higher because it is often difficult for police officers to determine when a\u00a0driver’s\u00a0distraction contributed to the accident. While talking on a cell phone and texting while driving\u00a0is\u00a0two of the most common forms of distracted driving, there are many others.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t Anything that removes a\u00a0driver’s\u00a0attention from the road can be a distraction, including:<\/p>\n Distracted driving can occur at any time; however,\u00a0for many drivers,\u00a0it is most difficult to maintain attention on the road during grid-lock traffic, which Conshohocken residents are familiar with.<\/p>\n According to PennDOT, in 2020, there were 7,700 drunk driving accidents in Pennsylvania. These accidents resulted in thousands of injuries and almost 300 deaths.\u00a0Drunk driving accidents<\/a>\u00a0are particularly frustrating because every single one is preventable. Drivers always have a choice to call a friend, take the bus, or summon rideshare. However, whether\u00a0it’s\u00a0to save a few dollars or to save face, thousands of drivers choose to roll the dice with\u00a0others’\u00a0lives by getting behind the wheel after having too much to drink.<\/p>\n Not only are drunk driving accidents common, but on average, they are also more dangerous than other collisions. For example, more than 25 percent of all fatal Pennsylvania car accidents involve a drunk driver.<\/p>\n For a small town, Conshohocken has quite a few bars and restaurants. For example, Fayette Street, Elm Street, and Hector Street all have several bars and restaurants, including:<\/p>\n While most people can consume alcohol responsibly, that\u00a0isn’t\u00a0always the case. An Eagles game, a Flyers game, or a Phillies game can cause otherwise law-abiding drivers to second-guess their commitment to safe driving. Drunk drivers can-and should-be held accountable for their reckless actions.<\/p>\n Nothing tries a\u00a0driver’s\u00a0patience more than sitting in traffic day in and day out. However, that is precisely the reality for many drivers passing through Conshohocken. When frustrated,\u00a0drivers tend to engage in aggressive driving behavior<\/a>\u00a0that puts everyone else on the road at risk. While there are many forms of aggressive driving, the most common include:<\/p>\n When looking at all forms of aggressive driving,\u00a0it’s\u00a0clear that it is the most common cause of car accidents.\u00a0For example, in 2020,\u00a0there were\u00a0more than 25,000 accidents caused by speeding and another 4,500 caused by\u00a0careless\u00a0or illegal passing.\u00a0Tailgating\u00a0was responsible for another 4,500 accidents.<\/p>\n Aggressive drivers often think that their\u00a0“superior driving abilities”\u00a0allow them to speed or engage in other dangerous driving\u00a0behavior\u00a0without risk.\u00a0This\u00a0is not the case; aggressive drivers are simply being reckless when they choose to put their interests above the safety of everyone else on the road.<\/p>\n Losing a loved one in a preventable car accident<\/a>\u00a0is something no family should experience. However, hundreds of Pennsylvania families experience this very reality every year. While nothing can turn back the hands of time to before the accident, pursuing a wrongful death claim allows grieving families to seek justice for their loved ones.<\/p>\n Under\u00a0Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes section 8301<\/a>, a spouse, child, or parent can bring a claim to\u00a0“recover damages for the death of an individual caused by the wrongful act … or negligence of another.”\u00a0These cases\u00a0are referred\u00a0to as\u00a0wrongful death claims<\/a>.<\/p>\n\t A wrongful death case is similar to a personal injury case in that it requires a family to prove that the other driver:<\/p>\n Under the Pennsylvania statute of limitations<\/a> for wrongful death cases, families must file a claim two years after their loved\u00a0one’s\u00a0death. A\u00a0family’s\u00a0failure to bring a matter within the two-year time frame will likely result in the case\u00a0being dismissed, leaving the family with no means of recourse.<\/p>\n In Pennsylvania, accident victims who successfully bring a Conshohocken car accident lawsuit can recover for their economic and non-economic damages.\u00a0Monetary damages compensate you for the\u00a0actual expenses you incurred as a result of\u00a0the accident and the money you would have made but\u00a0couldn’t\u00a0because of your injuries.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t Non-economic damages compensate you for the emotional and psychological impact the accident had on your life. Non-economic injuries vary\u00a0significantly\u00a0because accidents impact\u00a0everyone’s\u00a0lives differently. However, the most common forms of non-economic damages include:<\/p>\n Both economic and non-economic damages are crucial to a full and fair recovery. Thus, accident victims must\u00a0select a Conshohocken car accident attorney with specific experience<\/a>\u00a0handling these claims.\u00a0That way, you can be sure that your lawyer can identify the full extent of their damages so you can rest easy knowing that, at the end of your case,\u00a0you\u00a0were fairly compensated\u00a0for what\u00a0you’ve\u00a0been through.<\/p>\n At\u00a0MyPhillyLawyer<\/a>, we recognize no shortage of Conshohocken car accident lawyers.
