One of the most beautiful seasons is autumn, especially when the colors of the trees change from bright green to hues of red, orange and yellow. However, those beautiful leaves easily betray drivers as they begin to fall in late September and early October.
Pennsylvania motorcyclists are especially vulnerable because the leaves tend to litter the highway and create a slick driving surface - which means less traction for bikers during their autumn rides.
A motor vehicle accident can change your life in an instant. Not only is your health and well-being at risk, but the same also holds true of your finances.
Making a car insurance claim is easier said than done, as you must keep a close eye on everything your provider and agent are doing. It's easy to assume your agent is on your side, but they're more likely to make decisions in their best interest.

After a serious accident, it is fairly easy to detect physical injuries. They are visible and often extremely painful.

Every state has its own approach to car insurance, which can make it very confusing for people to understand the basics of how these policies work. How much coverage do you need? Which riders are really necessary to protect you? With contracts that take up many pages, it can be difficult to tell.
Pennsylvania motor vehicle insurance companies offer two options for coverage that differ quite a bit from what is available in other states. You have the option of purchasing either full tort or limited tort policies. As the name implies, limited tort policies have strict limitations on your right to bring certain civil actions after a crash.
Warm weather sends many Allentown residents into the outdoors to enjoy recreational activities, such as running or biking. In this weather, many pet owners let their dogs out in the yard to roam and enjoy the outdoors as well.
