Philadelphia Car Accident Verdicts and Settlements
You can’t look to other cases to predict exactly what will happen in yours, but these examples can help you understand the possibilities. These are cases that occurred in and around Philadelphia and ended in cash awards and settlements for the victims:
- $160 Million for Food Truck Explosion. Auto accidents don’t always happen on the road. In 2914, the propane tank of a food truck parked in Philadelphia’s Feltonville neighborhood exploded. The accident killed two people and resulted in serious injuries to others. The families and the victims sued U-Haul and others over the faulty tank. They received $160 million in a settlement as well as more undisclosed amounts.[1]
- $908,000 for Fatal Motorcycle Accident. The family of a young man killed in Southampton just outside of Philadelphia received the settlement after the 2013 accident. Vladimir Shalupov was riding his motorcycle home when he collided with a city bus. The city of Southampton already knew the intersection was dangerous and that the two-way stop signs needed to be replaced with a traffic light. Shalupov’s family sued and got the settlement from the city and others.[2]
- $6 Million for Bicycle-Garbage Truck Accident. In November 2018, Emily Fredericks died in a collision between her bike and a garbage truck in City Center, Philadelphia. Her parents got the settlement from the waste disposal company. They also came to an agreement with the company and the city to improve safety on the roads for cyclists and pedestrians.[3]
These cases, and so many others, demonstrate how serious car accidents are and how devastating the consequences. If you suffered injuries in an accident or lost a loved one, a lawyer can help. Contact a Philadelphia car accident lawyer to find out what you can do.
