This will come as no surprise to anyone who drives in Philly traffic, but our city is the third most congested city in the country. That’s according to the Global Traffic Survey from INRIX.
As a result of all that traffic, the average driver loses 101 hours each year stuck in traffic.
That congestion also has an unintended consequence: Increased risk of a rear-end accident.
When drivers are stuck in traffic, their minds start to drift, and they reach for their cell phones to check messages or surf the internet. That shifts the focus and makes the driver more likely to lose control of their ride. In a blink, they slam into the car ahead of them, which can trigger a chain reaction of collisions.
Of course, you don’t have to be stuck in traffic to get in a rear-end accident in Philadelphia.
It can happen on any road at any time. Even though it might be clear that the driver behind you slammed into your car, they will often try to dispute the facts. That leads to a tussle with insurance companies and puts your rightful compensation in jeopardy. That’s when the intervention of a skilled Philadelphia car accident attorney can make a world of difference.
