ABOUT YOUR CASE IN PHILADELPHIA

PA LOCAL ACCIDENT DATA
In Pennsylvania, truck accidents resulted in over 5,000 injuries and more than 100 fatalities annually according to NHTSA data. Specifically, Philadelphia sees a significant portion of these incidents, with recent statistics indicating that commercial vehicle crashes account for nearly 20% of the total traffic accidents in the city. Furthermore, FMCSA reported that inspection violations for commercial trucks in the Philadelphia area have remained high, emphasizing the need for vigilance on the roads.
PA STATE LAW & DEADLINES
Under Pennsylvania law, victims have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury claim. The state follows a modified comparative fault rule, meaning that if you are more than 51% at fault, you may be barred from recovering any damages. Additionally, Pennsylvania has its own trucking regulations that often exceed FMCSA standards, which could influence the value of your claim significantly depending on the circumstances of your case.
HIGH-RISK CORRIDORS
In Philadelphia, commercial truck accidents commonly occur on major highways such as I-95, I-76 (the Schuylkill Expressway), and Route 76. Dangerous interchanges, particularly near the Walt Whitman Bridge and the Benjamin Franklin Bridge, frequently see collisions due to heavy truck traffic. Mile markers along these routes often correlate with higher accident reports, emphasizing the need for caution.
WHERE YOUR CASE IS FILED
Truck accident cases in Philadelphia are typically filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, located at 601 Market Street, Philadelphia, PA. Additionally, cases may also be processed in the Philadelphia County Court of Common Pleas, offering local support for personal injury claims.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS — PHILADELPHIA

How long do I have to file a truck accident claim in Philadelphia?

In Pennsylvania, you generally have two years from the date of your truck accident to file for personal injury claims. Missing this deadline can mean losing your right to compensation, so it’s crucial to act promptly. Always consult with an attorney to ensure your case is filed in time.

Can I still sue if I was partly at fault for the accident?

Yes, Pennsylvania follows a modified comparative fault rule. If you are deemed less than 51% at fault, you can still recover damages proportional to your degree of fault. However, if you are found to be more than 51% responsible, you will be barred from recovering any compensation.

Which trucking companies are commonly involved in accidents in Philadelphia?

In Philadelphia, larger trucking companies such as FedEx, UPS, and local logistics companies frequently appear in accident reports. Their high volumes of traffic through busy corridors increase the likelihood of incidents. Understanding the specific practices of these companies can be important in your claim.

What evidence should I preserve after a truck accident?

After a truck accident, it’s crucial to gather as much evidence as possible. This includes photographs of the scene, witness contact information, police reports, and any documentation related to the truck's maintenance record. Preserving this evidence is vital for substantiating your claim and establishing liability.
