Common accident locations in Levittown
US Route 13 (Bristol Pike)
US Route 13, known locally as Bristol Pike, runs along Levittown and carries heavy traffic through Bristol Township and the surrounding area. The mix of through traffic, commercial driveways, and busy intersections leads to regular crashes, and the corridor near Levittown Parkway has been the site of a fatal collision.
US Route 1
US Route 1 is a high-speed corridor with rapid speed transitions and frequent commercial driveways through lower Bucks. Those quick changes in speed and the constant merging make it a chronic crash corridor.
Levittown Parkway & connectors
Levittown Parkway and the connector roads that move traffic between the neighborhoods and the highways mix slower local driving with faster highway traffic. That difference in pace leads to rear-end and turning crashes where the local roads meet the main routes.
Your rights under Pennsylvania law
In Pennsylvania, you generally have two years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit, under 42 Pa. C.S. 5524. Pennsylvania uses modified comparative negligence with a 51 percent bar, so you can recover as long as you are less than 51 percent at fault, with your award reduced by your share of the blame. Pennsylvania is a no-fault car insurance state, so smaller claims go through your own coverage, but you can sue for pain and suffering if your injuries are serious or you carry full tort coverage. If your claim is against a government body, shorter notice deadlines can apply, so it is worth getting advice quickly.
