What To Do After Being in an Out-of-State Truck Accident

Published on September 23, 2022, by SHRAGER SACHS & BLANCO | Truck Accidents

Being involved in a truck accident is one of the most traumatizing events you may ever go through. The recovery time alone may take weeks, months, or even longer, and many victims’ maximum medical improvement falls short of their physical condition prior to the wreck.  Your situation may be further complicated if you were in an out-of-state truck accident. If you were traveling through Pennsylvania at the time of your accident, you are likely unfamiliar with our local and state laws that will affect your truck accident claim[...]

Record Traffic Fatalities Raise Questions About Reckless Driving

Published on September 2, 2022, by SHRAGER SACHS & BLANCO | Auto Accidents

Shrager, Sachs, & Blanco’ own managing partner Robert L. Sachs, Jr. recently made a poignant observation about a critical issue impacting our neighborhoods, city, and nation as a whole: “Almost every day when I am driving, I see someone make an illegal, bad, and dangerous choice on the roads. It has become routine to see people running traffic lights, running stop signs, and swerving across the double yellow line to overtake traffic on busy secondary streets. This needs to stop. And those who engage in such behaviors must[...]

Published on August 26, 2022, by SHRAGER SACHS & BLANCO | Birth Injury

If you've ever been in a birthing suite, whether delivering a child yourself or supporting a loved one with their childbirth process, then you're likely aware of how tense it can be in that environment. The situation is not all that different in an operating room if you undergo a Caesarean section (C-section). In both situations, there are a lot of people crowded into a very small room, and you and your baby's health and safety are contingent upon everyone knowing their role and doing what they're trained[...]

Even with over three decades of experience practicing medical malpractice law in Philadelphia—a city with some of the largest, wealthiest, and most reputable medical institutions in the country—the attorneys at Shrager, Sachs, & Blanco still believe there is no such thing as an “easy” medical malpractice case.[...]

Is Lack of Supervision in Nursing Homes Considered Neglect?

Published on July 22, 2022, by SHRAGER SACHS & BLANCO | Nursing Home Abuse

Making the decision to place a parent or a loved one in a nursing home is never easy. While you or other family members might have done your best to keep them at home, the care that many elderly or chronically ill patients require is outside the scope of what most people are capable of. The care, treatment, and supervision provided by nursing homes might be exactly what your loved one needed. You did your best when you went through the process of selecting a facility, perhaps going[...]

What Are Your Legal Options After a Firework Injury?

Published on July 22, 2022, by SHRAGER SACHS & BLANCO | Personal Injury

Last summer in July 2021, two Pennsylvania children, ages six and eight, were involved in a fire caused by improperly discarded fireworks in York County. One child was killed, and the other suffered severe burn injuries. This was, unfortunately, not an isolated incident. It’s estimated that close to 10,000 firework injuries occur each year across the country. Even worse, this number seems to be rising. It was reported that the number of firework-related deaths and injuries rose 50% from 2019 to 2020. The majority of these incidents occurred[...]
