Q: MVA in PA after sunset on PA Hwy. Oncoming motorist had no headlights on collided with left turning vehicle. Caselaw?
I am curious if there is any PA case law on point with the above facts.
A:
If you're asking for a Pennsylvania attorney to do free legal research for your case, good luck with that.
What you ought to do is contact a Pennsylvania attorney and arrange for a consultation. Many attorneys *do* offer free consultations, but at least go through the proper channels to get to that point. If you want an attorney to do work on your case, however, expect to pay that attorney -- just like you expect to be paid to do your own job.
Best of luck to you.
A:
Question is visibility. You can still be cited and not be at fault.
Also, what direction were you coming in--was the setting sun behind or in front of you? Was it raining?
Generally the left turning vehicle will be at fault. They have a duty to yield to through traffic.
