Fatal Car Accidents and Wrongful Death Claims in Wyoming County
In recent years, Pennsylvania has seen fluctuations in traffic fatalities, with over 1,100 deaths recorded in 2020 and 2021. Despite a slight decrease in 2022, fatal crashes continue to be a significant issue, particularly in rural areas like Wyoming County. A significant percentage of these accidents occur under varying lighting conditions, with many fatalities happening during daylight hours or at night in unlit areas.
