CAUTION: IMPORTANT CONSUMER TIP: If you're involved in an AUTO accident don't say anything to any insurance company just yet. If you are contacted be polite, business like and firm in your tone and let them know you are hurt but not in condition to discuss anything with them and can't agree with anything now. Get their name, telephone number and claims information, thank them and contact your auto accident lawyer. See three biggest mistakes.
Keep in mind that when you make a claim or file a lawsuit, its always the insurance company that pays your claim from a settlement or award from a lawsuit, not the person involved unless they are a large company who is self-insured.
Where Do Car Accidents In Philadelphia Happen Most Often?
For being such an integral part of how we live in the United States, driving a car is shockingly dangerous. The weight of many cars – some coming in at several thousand pounds – combined with the speed we drive them, make them easily capable of inflicting serious injuries if anything should go wrong. And things do go wrong. Car accidents happen constantly, from your simple fender-bender in a parking lot to a high-speed collision on Interstate 95. There are a number of dangerous intersections in Philadelphia.
Many of these crashes result in people getting hurt or, worse, killed. Even the best safety mechanisms and precautions cannot prevent all of the dangers that come with a serious car accident. If you are looking for a top rated lawyer who is highly skilled in getting you the money you deserve to be compensated for for your injuries and lost income due to an accident that is not your fault, you need not look further. Attorney Gary Brod is a dyed in the wool Philadelphia car accident lawyer with over 32 years experience devoted exclusively to representing injured car accident victims, not insurance companies who will do whatever is necessary to secure you a top result as quickly as possible without sacrificing the value of your settlement.

Car Accident Statistics: Facing A Serious Problem
Every year, according to the Association for Safe International Road Travel (ASIRT), car accidents claim the lives of more than 37,000 people in the United States, alone. Additionally, 2.35 million others are hurt in car crashes in the States, with many of those injuries being serious and life-changing. All told, car accidents in the United States cost an estimated $230.6 billion every year, or an average of $820 per person.
Almost half of passenger vehicle occupants killed were not wearing seat belts according to the NHTSA. Research shows almost one in three fatalities involved drunk drivers or speeding. One in 10 fatalities involved distraction. Click here for a 2015 Lives Saved Research Note. Click here for a 2015 Overview.
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) estimates that, on average, each emergency room visit that comes from a car accident – the CDC says there are approximately 2.5 million of them – costs $3,300. If these visits turn into a hospital stay, it can cost more in the range of $57,000.
And these are just the costs faced by those who survive. ASIRT says that, across the globe, car accidents have become the leading cause of death among people between the ages of 15 and 29, and the second leading cause of death worldwide among people between the ages of 5 and 14.

Common Injuries in Philadelphia Car Accidents
There are numerous variables that can impact whether you get hurt in a car accident, as well as what your injuries are and how severe they turn out to be. Speed is just one of these factors, with high-speed crashes leading to much more severe injuries than low-speed collisions. However, other factors like whether you were using a seat belt, whether the airbags deployed, which direction the accident came from, and even where you were looking can have a huge impact on your well-being after the crash.
- Bumps and bruises are likely the least severe but the most common type of injury suffered in a car accident. However, these black and blue marks can hide more serious issues, like slight fractures that can require medical attention.
- Broken bones are another common type of injury suffered in car accidents. Just like with car accident injuries in general, broken bones come in a variety of shapes and severaties, with some requiring extensive surgeries to correct.
- Scrapes and cuts can also range from small to extreme. High-speed collisions that snap metal and break glass frequently lead to terrible cuts and lacerations that require immediate medical attention and can result in significant disfigurements.
- Head injuries are one of the most severe types of injuries you can suffer in a car accident. Even small head impacts can have significant consequences. Concussions happen whenever your brain hits the inside wall of your skull. This can happen with a surprisingly small jolt.
- Whiplash is also a typical car accident injury. It is one that is often overlooked, yet can be debilitating over a long period of time. The areas that are especially susceptible to whiplash – your neck and spine – are body parts crucial for daily movement, making whiplash a particularly debilitating injury.
All of these injuries have the potential to severely impact your life and your well-being for years after the accident. Many of them can require numerous medical procedures to correct, which can result in the accumulation of an alarming number of medical and hospital bills. Getting adequate compensation from the ones responsible for your injuries can make a huge difference in your financial well-being after a crash.
Common Question: After a car accident: What steps do I take to get my medical bills paid?
ANSWER: No matter who is at fault, you must go through your own company to pay your medical expenses If you do not own a car and have no auto insurance you would be covered by the car or whatever vehicle you are riding in at the time of the accident. For further information on accident victims rights see FAQS
What to Do After a Car Accident
If you get involved in a car accident, your initial response can alter how things go in the long run.
The first thing to do after a car accident is to make sure you are okay. If you suffered a significant injury, there is not much else that you can do – you need to wait for emergency personnel to arrive and take you to a hospital where you can receive immediate medical treatment.
If you made it through the crash unscathed or with only minor injuries that do not require immediate care, you can help yourself in the future by recording important information about the crash. This includes:
- The exact time and location of the crash,
- The name, address, phone number, and insurance company of the other people involved in the crash,
- The name, address, and phone number of anyone who saw the accident firsthand.
Additionally, if you have a smartphone or a camera on hand, taking pictures of the accident and the surrounding scene can make a huge difference. See our vehicle accident FAQ section for further information.
You should contact us as soon as possible after the accident so we can tell you about your rights and possibly start investigating the accident but we don't normally race to the courthouse to file a lawsuit. We let some time pass so we can get the facts of the accident and understand its full impact on you (the harm it's done to you physically, emotionally and financially) before negotiating with an insurance company, let alone filing a lawsuit. A quick settlement could cost you far more than you gain.
