Southampton Personal Injuries

Southampton is an area in Pennsylvania that sits about 20 miles north of Philadelphia. Originally unincorporated, in the early 1900’s it was divided into two townships, Upper Southampton Township (pop 15,000) and Lower Southampton (pop 19,000). Many in the region still refer to the area as Southampton.

Being primarily residential, many make the 20-mile commute into Philadelphia or 15 miles across the Delaware River into Trenton, NJ to go to work. Others stay in and around Southampton to work, go to school or go shopping.

Bottom line, the people of Southampton are active and on the go which, unfortunately puts them at risk for personal injury.
