A recent accident in the Fairmount Park area of Philadelphia left a driver hurt and a vehicle overturned on the side of the road. There is only a bit of information available about this case initially. According to initial reports, the accident took place on Kelly Drive at the intersection with Reservoir Drive at 3 a.m. on a Tuesday.
Various factors can cause a vehicle to overturn, such as crashing into something, the driver losing control at a high rate of speed or vehicle malfunctions. This type of accident often has significant force behind it, which can amplify any injuries that take place. If someone else caused the accident, the victim may seek legal counsel from a Philadelphia car accident lawyer to determine their legal options in pursuing fair compensation.
Losing Control Over the Vehicle
It is not uncommon for a driver to lose control over a vehicle. Police say that is what likely happened in this case. For some reason, the driver was unable to control the car, causing it to run off the road and, ultimately, crash onto its side. The driver was taken to an area hospital for a workup while police continued to investigate what occurred.
Having an advocate by your side matters. Car accidents involving a single driver are not always as clear as they seem. With the help of your attorney, it may be possible to show who is to blame so you can recover any damages owed to you. Schedule a free consultation with our legal team at Kwartler Manus.
