On Monday, June 4, a 15-year-old girl was in the car with her mother in front of a Dollar Tree in Port Richmond. Two men were directing her and trying to help her park when she accidentally struck them with the SUV. Both men were killed in the accident. The teen was learning how to drive and was being supervised by her mother at the time of the accident. There have been no criminal charges filed however to obtain a legal driving permit an individual must be 16-years-old. The mother, in this case, would probably bear any legal responsibility since she was supervising the minor.
On Thursday morning, May 7, a Gloucester County police officer was responding to a car crash when he was injured. As the officer arrived a second crash involving a box truck occurred. The truck hit a utility pole which fell hitting the officer’s vehicle. The collision caused the police cruiser airbag to deploy which caused the officer to suffer facial injuries. As the officer attempted to exit his vehicle he was shocked when he touched the door due to the downed electrical wires from the utility pole. The officer was taken to Jefferson Hospital in Philadelphia and is in stable condition. Both crashes are being investigated.
On May 7, around 3:15 pm a 59-year-old woman who was driving a Chrysler 300 was making a U-turn on the 5300 block of Rising Sun Avenue when she struck a motorcyclist. The 27-year-old man was driving a Suzuki motorcycle when he was struck in the Olney section of Philadelphia. He was taken to Albert Einstein Medical Center but was pronounced dead shortly after his arrival. There have been no arrests made in connection with the accident.
On Sunday, June 3, a multi-vehicle crash occurred in Feltonville on the inner drives of Roosevelt Boulevard around 1:30 pm. The accident occurred at the intersection of Roosevelt Boulevard and North Mascher Street. One person was injured and taken to Jefferson Torresdale Hospital and the cause of the accident is not known at this time.
“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.”
