How can we help?

How often do car accidents occur?

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation’s data show that in 2022, there were 1,179 traffic fatalities including 184 pedestrian fatalities and 15 bicycle rider fatalities. Most of these fatal accidents involved alcohol or speeding. There were approximately 67,000 crashes in Pennsylvania that led to injuries.

Why do car accidents happen in Red Lion?

At KBG Injury Law, we work with investigators, the police, and through other means to show how your car accident happened. Many Red Lion car accidents are caused by:

  • Speeding and other traffic offenses. Every driver is required to know and comply with Pennsylvania’s traffic laws. Speeding drivers cannot react to emergencies in a timely manner and cannot stop in time. Drivers who run through red lights or stop signs are inviting an accident. Pennsylvania’s driving laws were enacted to protect the safety of everyone on the road.
  • Distracted driving. There’s no excuse for texting while driving, holding a cell phone while talking, eating, drinking, or doing any activity that takes a driver’s eyes off the road, hands off the steering wheel, and mind off traffic.
  • Driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. It’s never OK to drink and drive. Drivers who have a few drinks at a local bar, a celebration, or for any other reason should let a sober driver take them home. Using drugs, even prescription drugs, can cause fatigue and other dangers.
  • Driving too fast for weather or traffic conditions. Drivers need to slow down when it’s raining, or the traffic is congested. Drivers must use appropriate caution for their driving circumstances.
  • Driving while tired. Drivers who are sleepy should stop at a rest stop, stay in a hotel overnight, or take other steps to ensure they’re refreshed and alert.
  • Driver inexperience. Many Red Lion car accidents happen because teenage drivers don’t anticipate emergencies, don’t respond to emergencies properly, or take improper chances. The parents of a negligent driver may be liable if they give their teen permission to drive their car.
  • Defective car parts. Our Red Lion car accident lawyers file product liability claims against manufacturers, distributors, and car sellers when brakes, electric components, fuel lines, seatbelts, airbags, and other car parts malfunction.

How do your Red Lion car accident lawyers prove that the defendants are liable?

KBG Injury Law has the skills, experience, and resources to determine how your car accident happened. Some of the ways we work to prove liability include:

  • Hiring investigators to examine the accident site, speak with witnesses, take photos and videos, and speak with local businesses and residential owners to ask if they have any of their own digital images of the accident
  • Reviewing the police report and speaking with the police called to the car accident site
  • Working with traffic reconstruction experts in complicated cases such as when there are multiple cars involved in a car crash
  • Questioning everyone involved in the accident
  • Employing product safety experts, reviewing manufacturer recalls, and using other strategies to show a defective car part caused your accident

Our Red Lion car accident lawyers file personal injury claims against all responsible parties including:

  • The driver
  • The driver’s employer
  • The owner(s) of the car, if different than the driver
  • The manufacturers, distributors, and sellers
  • The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation and other government agencies
  • A seller of alcohol to a driver who was visibly intoxicated at the time of the sale
  • Any other responsible parties

How do you prove how much my Red Lion car accident claim is worth?

Our personal injury lawyers work with your treating doctors to verify (obtain a diagnosis of) your injuries, review all the medical care you need and will need – and the cost of that care, and explain in detail every way your injuries hurt and affect everything you do.

We demand compensation for your current and future:

  • Medical expenses. These include ER care, surgeries (at hospitals, burn centers, and ambulatory service centers), hospitalizations, doctor visits, rehabilitative care, medications, and assistive devices.
  • Income loss. This amount includes compensation for your lost wages, income, and benefits – for as long as you can’t work.
  • Pain and suffering. Accident victims are entitled to compensation from liable defendants for their physical aches and emotional suffering.
  • Property damage. This is generally the cost to repair or replace your car depending on the amount of damage.

We also claim compensation for:

  • Loss of enjoyment and quality of life
  • Scarring and disfigurement
  • Loss of consortium

Our Red Lion car accident lawyers file wrongful death actions if a close family member like a parent, child, or spouse died due to the fault of others.
