Types of Car Accidents 

The most common types of car accidents include:

1. Collisions (Head-on)
   When you imagine a car accident, this is typically the first type that comes to mind. Head-on collisions are some of the most serious accidents in terms of injuries and are typically caused by speeding, negligent passing and/or disregard to red lights.
2. Highway
   Due to higher speeds, accidents on the highway can have more dire consequences than accidents in more residential areas. A small impact at a fast pace can create a larger scale incident including more vehicles and significant injuries.
3. Hit and Run
   A hit and run accident is one in which a driver hits a vehicle and then illegally flees the scene without exchanging any information. If identified, a hit and run driver can be criminally charged in addition to the civil case against them. If you are the victim of a hit and run it’s imperative to gather as much information about the other driver and vehicle to increase your chances of identifying them later on.
4. Distracted Driving
   A distracted driver is one who is participating in an activity that takes their attention away from the road, such as eating, texting, emailing, searching through a bag or applying makeup. An accident caused by this kind of negligent driving is called a distracted driving accident.
5. Fatal
   Everyday, approximately three people in Pennsylvania will lose their life to an automobile accident. If you have lost a family member in a vehicle accident, you may qualify for compensation. A qualified attorney can help you make sense of your options during this challenging time.
6. Miscellaneous
   Other common vehicular accidents that often qualify for compensation include reckless driving, drunk driving, collisions due to environmental conditions (such as fog, rain, snow, view obstructions, or poor road/sign design), side impact accidents and rollovers.
