Truck Accidents in Dallastown, PA
Truck accidents can be catastrophic. The size, weight and momentum of an 18-wheeler when it collides with an automobile can cause serious personal injury and harm. Truck accident cases are more complicated than auto accident cases, as there are state and federal trucking regulations that apply. Truck drivers are required to keep detailed logs and other records, and trucking companies have strict procedures related to truck maintenance, hiring practices, record keeping and the amount of time a driver is on the job. All of these may come into play in the claims process.
Read MoreDangerous and Defective Products in Dallastown, PA
Every day you encounter a variety of products from the minute you rise from sleep to the time your head hits the pillow in the evening. Chances are, these products you use are from common household appliances to over-the-counter prescription drugs and are safe for you to use as directed. As a consumer, you have a right to assume these products are safe, and manufacturers have an obligation to ensure their products meet safety requirements. When someone is hurt or injured as a result of a dangerous or defective product, those responsible for putting the product into the public's hands, including the manufacturer and/or retailer, may be to blame. This is called product liability, an area of personal injury law.

Dog Bites Law in Dallastown, PA
Dogs are often more than just a pet and they are an integral part of families. Dogs and other animals can be loving, safe and wonderful companions. It’s important to remember, though, that dogs can also be dangerous and can bite when they feel threatened or if they are defending their territory. Dog bites and injuries caused by other animals are serious and can have a dramatic impact on the lives of the victim. In Pennsylvania, owners are responsible for their animals and could be held accountable for incidents that occur. If you or a member of your family has been the victim of a dog attack, you may be entitled to compensation for physical and/or emotional injuries resulting from the incident.

Losing a loved one is an emotionally and physically exhausting experience. It can be especially difficult to understand when the death is caused by the carelessness, negligence or misconduct of another individual, company or entity. When someone dies from the negligence of others or through the intention of others, this is a wrongful death. Wrongful death lawsuits can be made for a variety of situations including auto accidents caused by another driver (particularly when the other driver is under the influence of drugs or alcohol); dangerous roadway or defective vehicles; medical malpractice; abuse; nursing home abuse or neglect; negligence in the workplace; or when an individual is intentionally killed.

Insurance Bad Faith in Dallastown, PA
The relationship between you and your insurance company is a contract. You agree to pay premiums when they are due and the insurance company agrees to act in good faith when dealing with your claims. If an insurance company unreasonably withholds benefits of the policy from its insured, it may be considered to be acting in bad faith. This may include denying a reasonable claim and/or requiring unreasonable actions or documentation by an insured person to prove a claim. If you believe that your insurer has acted in bad faith, in addition to the value of the claim itself, you may be entitled to damages related to emotional distress and punitive damages if the conduct is considered outrageous. There are many kinds of insurance bad faith tactics including delay in handling claims, inadequate investigation, threats against an insured, and refusing to make a reasonable settlement offer, just to name a few.

Selecting a nursing home or rehabilitation facility can be a very difficult decision. You want to ensure your loved ones receive quality care in a safe environment.

- Sudden weight loss or weight gain
- Uncommon irritability and mood swings
- Bed injuries such as bed sores
- Unexplained injuries (rashes, cuts, bruises, sores)
- Recurring or frequent illnesses that are not promptly reported to family members
- Broken bones or fractures
