On Wednesday, April 11, two SEPTA buses crashed around 1:30 pm near the intersection of Hunting Park Avenue and 18th Street in the Tioga-Nicetown section of Philadelphia. According to SEPTA, one bus for Route 26 was pulling out when it hit the other bus. A black SUV appeared to be damaged in the accident as well. There were no reported injuries, but medics were at the scene.
At 12:00 am on Friday, April 6th, a sedan crashed into a home on the 300 block of Harleysville Pike in Montgomery County. The car went across several neighboring lawns before it became airborne and crashed into the bedroom of a home. An 86-year-old woman was trapped by the vehicle and had to be freed by first responders but sadly was pronounced dead at the scene. The driver was able to exit the vehicle without assistance and did not sustain any life-threatening injuries. He was taken to Lehigh Valley Hospital for treatment. Investigators are trying to determine if the accident was caused by a malfunction with the vehicle or a medical emergency and are awaiting the results of lab tests to determine if the driver was impaired.
An accident occurred between a car and an SUV on Saturday, April 7 around 9:30 pm. The two vehicles hit each other almost head-on while traveling on Street Road in Southampton, causing a great deal of damage to the car. Two adults and two children were injured in the crash. According to police, one driver had to be freed from their vehicle by firefighters and then was taken to St. Mary Medical Center. The child that was in that vehicle was taken to Abington Memorial Hospital but later was flown to Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. The other driver and a child passenger were taken to Abington Hospital. Police are still investigating the accident and seeking any witnesses to the crash.
“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.”
