On Monday, May 14, at 4:40 am a limousine and a sedan crashed into one another at the crossing of Cottman and Roosevelt Boulevard. A 29-year-old man was killed in the crash and two other men were injured in the crash. The road was covered in debris from the accident and the roads were closed while they were cleared and the police investigated. The roads were reopened and clear by 8:30 am but there is no indication as to what caused the accident.
On Sunday, May 6, a driver was speeding down High Street in his 2013 Dodge Charger in Pottstown. The vehicle was moving at such a high speed that the driver lost control and crashed into a utility pole splitting the car into two pieces. The 37-year-old Lancaster man who was driving the vehicle was ejected from the car and was not believed to have been wearing a seatbelt. He was severely injured and taken to Pottstown Hospital and then taken by helicopter to Reading Hospital Trauma Center. The 44-year-old man from Philadelphia who was the passenger in the vehicle was believed to have been wearing a seatbelt. He was also severely injured and taken to Pottstown Hospital as well. Police are investigating to try to determine the rate of speed at which the vehicle was moving prior to the violent crash. Both men are being treated for their injuries but no further update has been given on their conditions.
On Saturday, May 12, a 34-year-old man was working for a food delivery service and using the bike lane on Spring Garden and 10th Streets when an SUV struck him around 7:40 pm. The weather on Saturday had periods of heavy rain and the cyclist was traveling and hit during the poor conditions. He was knocked off of his bicycle and run over by the SUV. He was pronounced dead at the scene of the accident. No charges have been filed and the driver of the vehicle remained at the scene.

“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.”
