We are a nation of cars. Unfortunately, not everyone drives safely, drives without distraction or drives a well-maintained vehicle. And that shows in the fact there were over 115,000 crashes in Pennsylvania in 2022 (the last year for available statistics). Sadly, those crashes claimed the lives of 1,170 people and injured 67,102 others (according to the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation – PennDOT).
There are on average 318 reportable car crashes each day across Pennsylvania. And many happen right here in Northeastern/Central Pennsylvania and the Pocono Mountains Region.

Causes of Serious Car Accidents in Pennsylvania
Serious car accidents in Pennsylvania can be caused by many factors, including distracted driving, speeding, driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, and driving too fast for weather or road conditions and reckless driving to name just a few.
The most common accidents we see are rear-end accidents, intersection crashes including T-Bone crashes (where the front of one car hits the middle section of another) and rollovers. All can lead to severe injuries and even death.
Car Crash Victims Can Suffer Terrible Injuries
The consequences of serious car accidents can be life-changing for victims or their families. Crashes can result in lost wages, lengthy hospitalizations, multiple surgeries, life-long care or death. The most common accidents can lead to traumatic brain injuries (TBI’s), spinal cord injuries resulting in full or partial paralysis, orthopedic injuries such as broken bones, internal injuries, and whiplash.
Possible Compensation for Car Crash Victims
At Lenahan & Dempsey we help victims of serious car accidents seek compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, future medical care needs and property damage. We know how to value your claim and your current medical or support needs both now and well into the future to get you the compensation you deserve.
Statute of Limitations
In Pennsylvania, as a general rule, a lawsuit for a personal injury case as a result of a motor vehicle crash must be filed within two years from the date the crash.
