According to police reports, a driver led officers on a chase in Glenolden, Delaware County, Pennsylvania, recently. It is not clear why the police were chasing the driver, nor why the driver failed to stop.
At just after midnight on a Sunday morning, though, the driver of that car lost control. It then struck a bridge on West Knowles Avenue, allowing the police to pull the driver out of the car. A passenger was also in the vehicle. The accident led to injuries to at least the driver, who had to be transported to the hospital for care. There was no update on that person’s injuries or what was causing the incident.
Passengers with Injuries
It is unclear in this situation whether the passenger in the vehicle sustained any injuries. However, in situations like this, where a passenger could have suffered serious injuries due to the reckless driving of the operator, proving fault could be critical to recovering damages. Passengers are often not responsible for the actions of the driver, and when that driver operates in a reckless manner that leads to a serious injury, seeking the help of a lawyer is essential.
Your attorney will help you determine who is at fault in the accident. They will also help you build a strong case for fair and full compensation for any medical losses, lost wages, or pain and suffering you have.
