Progress, PA: Local Information and Accident Risks
Progress is a suburban community in Lower Paxton Township, Dauphin County, located just northeast of Harrisburg. With approximately 9,765 residents, Progress offers a mix of residential neighborhoods, shopping areas, and commercial districts.
Major roads in and around Progress include:
- Route 22 (Jonestown Road) – A major east-west corridor with heavy traffic and numerous shopping centers
- Colonial Road – A busy north-south route through Progress
- Linglestown Road – Connects Progress to surrounding communities
- Interstate 81 – Located nearby with high-speed traffic and commercial vehicles
These roadways present significant accident risks due to high traffic volume, especially during rush hours. Common accident locations include the intersections along Jonestown Road near Progress shopping centers, Colonial Road, and the I-81 on/off ramps.
Progress residents typically receive medical care at facilities like UPMC Harrisburg, Penn State Health Holy Spirit Medical Center, or Penn State Health Hershey Medical Center following accidents. Our attorneys are familiar with these healthcare providers and can work directly with them regarding your medical records and treatment.
Understanding Pennsylvania Injury Laws That Affect Your Progress, PA Case
Pennsylvania has specific laws that significantly impact your injury case. Our Progress personal injury lawyers have comprehensive knowledge of these laws and how they apply to your situation:
Statute of Limitations
In Pennsylvania, you generally have two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. This deadline is strictly enforced, and missing it can permanently bar your claim. For Progress accident victims, this means prompt legal consultation is essential.
Comparative Negligence
Pennsylvania follows a modified comparative negligence rule. Your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of fault in the accident. If you're found more than 51% responsible, you cannot recover damages. Our attorneys work to minimize any assigned fault to maximize your recovery.
No-Fault Insurance
Pennsylvania has a choice no-fault insurance system for auto accidents. This affects how and when you can pursue claims against at-fault drivers. Progress residents need guidance on navigating these insurance requirements and understanding their coverage options.
Damage Caps
While Pennsylvania doesn't cap compensatory damages in most personal injury cases, there are exceptions for certain claims against government entities, which may be relevant in Progress accident cases involving public transportation or municipal facilities.
Common Accident Scenarios in Progress, PA
Progress residents face several common accident scenarios that our attorneys regularly handle:
Jonestown Road (Route 22) Accidents
This major commercial corridor through Progress experiences frequent rear-end collisions, sideswipe accidents, and left-turn crashes near shopping centers and businesses. The high traffic volume, especially during rush hours and weekends, creates significant accident risks.
Recent improvements to some intersections along this route have helped, but dangerous driving behaviors—including distracted driving and aggressive maneuvers—continue to cause serious crashes. Our attorneys investigate these accidents thoroughly, obtaining traffic camera footage, witness statements, and accident reconstruction when necessary.
Premises Liability at Local Businesses
Progress has numerous retail establishments, restaurants, and shopping centers where slip and fall accidents occur regularly. Common causes include:
- Wet floors without proper warning signs
- Icy walkways and parking lots during winter months
- Uneven pavement and sidewalks
- Poor lighting in parking areas
- Merchandise obstructing aisles
Our attorneys know how to document these dangerous conditions and establish property owner negligence to secure compensation for Progress residents injured on commercial properties.
Workplace Injuries
Progress and nearby communities have various commercial, retail, and light industrial workplaces where employees suffer injuries. While workers' compensation provides some benefits, these are often insufficient to cover all damages from serious injuries.
Our lawyers investigate whether third parties beyond your employer—such as equipment manufacturers, contractors, or property owners—may share liability for workplace accidents, potentially allowing for personal injury claims with more comprehensive compensation.

You should never accept an insurance company's initial settlement offer without consulting an attorney.

Our Progress personal injury attorneys can evaluate whether an offer is fair based on your specific injuries, recovery prognosis, and all applicable damages. We've frequently secured settlements many times higher than initial offers for our clients in Progress and throughout Dauphin County.
Pennsylvania follows a modified comparative negligence rule, meaning you can still recover damages even if you were partially at fault for your accident, as long as you're less than 51% responsible. However, your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you're deemed 20% at fault and your damages total $100,000, you would receive $80,000.
