Where Do Accidents Occur Most in Warren County?
Warren County’s range of interstate highways to narrow mountainous roads present a variety of driving hazards that can increase the risk of serious accidents during certain times or conditions. Some of the more hazardous include:
- I-78 and I-80: High-speed traffic, tractor-trailers, and busy interchanges can increase the risk of serious highway collisions.
- Route 22 and Phillipsburg: Traffic crossing the Delaware River into and out of Easton, Pennsylvania, combines with local vehicles, intersections, and commercial activity.
- Routes 31 and 57: Frequent intersections, turning vehicles, and a mix of local and commercial traffic create collision risks between Phillipsburg, Washington, and Hackettstown.
- Routes 94 and 519: Curves, changing elevations, limited visibility, and winter weather can make driving through Blairstown and surrounding rural communities more challenging.
- Hackettstown: Traffic around Main Street, local businesses, and Centenary University increases the potential for vehicle and pedestrian interactions.
If Your Accident Involves a Pennsylvania Driver
Warren County’s proximity to Pennsylvania means some accidents involve drivers, vehicles, or insurance policies from the Keystone State. A collision near Phillipsburg or along a Delaware River crossing may involve issues regarding jurisdiction, applicable laws, and insurance coverage.
The accident location, driver’s home state, and appropriate insurance policies can all affect the claims process. Our attorneys can determine the best course of action to address these issues.
