Roadway distractions and driver inattention leads to serious motor vehicle accidents each year. In fact, over 40,000 people are killed and another 2.5 million Americans are injured in car and truck crashes every year. 2,000 of those deaths occur on our New Jersey and Pennsylvania highways.

Rossetti & DeVoto have represented injured citizens and their families in some of the most serious car, truck and bus crashes, many occurring on major roadways like the New Jersey Turnpike, Garden State Parkway, Atlantic City Expressway and Skuyikill Expressway.

If you are a victim of someone else’s irresponsible actions, you have rights, including the right to recover for pain and suffering, property damage, essential services around the home, lost wages, and medical bills. Here are six things you can do immediately:
