Police and rescuers were called to the scene of a three-vehicle crash on the Pennsylvania Turnpike just before 3 p.m. on Monday. The incident took place at mile marker 350.8 between the Willow Grove and Bensalem exits in Bensalem Township in Bucks County.
Limited information was provided, but news helicopters reported that a dump truck and a white van were involved in a collision. Police arrived to find three people trapped in one of the vehicles. Rescuers worked to extract them, and all were taken to the local hospital for unknown injuries. It is unclear how serious any injuries were or what caused the incident to happen. Police were investigating, and at least some lanes of traffic were closed for about 8 hours.
What to Do When Multiple Parties Are Hurt
Victims hurt in a car accident have the right to seek financial compensation for all of their losses through the liability insurance of the party at fault. In situations where more than one person is hurt, all can file separate claims against the at-fault party. In an accident case like this, we do not know who is at fault or the extent of injuries. A full investigation will provide clarity on which insurance companies should pay for losses.
Do Not Just Settle with Insurance Companies
One of the most significant mistakes victims can make is settling their case with the insurance company without legal representation. Instead, hire our dump truck accident lawyer in Bensalem Township at Kwartler Manus and let us make sure your claim is comprehensive.
