Thursday, June 22nd. The two workers were knocked off the scaffolding, but were fortunately strapped on so did not fall to the ground below.
One 23-year old male victim suffered cuts to his left arm and right leg, while a 41-year old man had cuts to his face and right arm. The 400 block of Walnut Street was temporarily shut down following the accident.

A pedestrian was also found lying on the highway with critical injuries.
The pedestrian, the driver of the Saab, and a passenger in the Tahoe were all brought to Hahnemann University Hospital for treatment of their injuries.

“I have been working since I was 14. I have probably held at least two dozen different jobs and I’ve seen people injured and hurt. One of the reasons I got involved with disability law is that I have a very good family friend who has been disabled his entire life, and I’ve seen how he’s struggled in order to keep working and try to work. When I was presented with the opportunity to get involved with what’s called “disability law,” I was really thrilled to be able to not only practice being an attorney, but helping other people who really need to know things about what their choices are, what they can do, and what their future may hold.
I am originally from Maple Glen, PA and is a life-long Eagles fan.
I have focused on helping individuals with their workers’ compensation, social security disability and long-term disability claims, as well as obtaining financial security for individuals who have had accidents.
As part of helping workers’ and their families, I have also been active in teaching continuing legal education courses to other attorneys, provide free seminars and webinars to the public on how to protect their rights, and I am active in various organizations such as the National Organization of Social Security Claims Representatives, the Injured Workers’ Bar Association and the Workers’ Injury Law & Advocacy Group.”
