Boy, this makes me mad. Takata, an air bag manufacturer has announced there are as many as 30 MILLION vehicles in the U.S. furnished with air bags that have deteriorating “inflators”. These inflators could blow up and shred your throat if you are in an accident in which you strike something in fr...

When people are in a car accident, it often occurs that they are so undone by the experience that all prior knowledge and common sense goes out the window.  I recently had a client tell me he was hit and had major damage on his car after a woman pulled off a side street (violating a stop sign).  ...

What if you are walking your dog down the street in your neighborhood and out of nowhere, a neighbor's dog rushes out and starts a fight with your dog.  Your own dog pulls you down, trying in its instinctive way, to protect you by fending off the attacking dog?  YES you may have a valid claim aga...

Did you know that if a dog that is off leash in PA is violating state law?  Well, technically, its owner is violating the law.  If that off leash dog attacks you or your dog, there may be a claim that can be pursued against the off leash dog owner.  I recently had a case in which a dog escaped it...

The Montgomery County, PA area was hit particularly hard by the snow storm today.  There were countless accidents and numerous injuries on our roadways.  Drivers underestimated how slippery it would be and lost control on icy roads which are only going to get worse tonight.  Numerous serious acci...

A prospective client called me a few days ago.  He had been in a bad auto accident and was injured.  Unfortunately, he had been in the process of shopping for a cheaper auto policy and his old policy had lapsed (because he didn't want to pay for two policies at once) and a day (a single DAY) of h...

I love dogs. I have taken my dogs to parks many times including dog parks. However, now that I have been handling dog bite cases for over two decades, I cannot allow myself or my dogs into dog parks. First of all, you can never be sure that ALL the dogs in the park will get along with each other....

I have heard recent descriptions of attacks by a chocolate lab at the Horsham Dog Park.  This dog's owner needs to be cited for the dog's behavior and the owner and dog should be banned from the park.  If anyone has been bitten or attacked by this dog or any other vicious dog in the park, contact...

There is little reason to think that using a GPS system in the car is any less distracting than texting or fiddling with the car radio.  Numerous accidents occur each day on the highways of the world while drivers attempt to navigate while driving. Some GPS devices will not allow entry of informa...

Not all personal injury lawyers are created equally. I often receive complaints from clients that their lawyers are not returning their calls or answering their questions.

It makes complete sense that more people are bitten by dogs in the Spring and Summer months because more people are outside.  Irresponsible dog owners who allow their dogs to wander without a leash subject innocent victims to the danger of being attacked.  Children are probably more at risk than ...
