Police were called to the scene of an accident at about 4 am on Friday in the Roxborough neighborhood of Philadelphia. When they arrived, they found a vehicle on its side. News reports indicate the driver struck the home before the car flipped.
The entire process is still under investigation. One person had to be taken to a nearby hospital. It is uncertain what their condition is. Police were working the scene and investigating the cause of the accident. The local gas company was called to the house to check for a possible gas leak. That was a precaution, and it is unclear how much damage the home sustained.
A Philadelphia car accident lawyer from Kwartler Manus is here to help you with the aftermath of a crash.
What Happens When Someone Strikes Your Home
Car accidents can happen right at home. In situations where a person drives their car into your home or any structural component of your property, always prioritize getting out of the home and away from danger. Then call the police. Document as much as you can at the scene of the accident, including taking photos of the damage.
If you are hurt in the accident, or something fell on you or trapped you, get to the hospital for care. You will need to alert your home insurance company about the incident, but do not file a claim just yet.
