Safety Tips for Driving in High-Speed Winds

Published on March 25, 2022, by SHRAGER SACHS & BLANCO | Auto Accidents

Pennsylvania drivers might not think of high-speed winds as an everyday driving hazard. The Keystone State does, in fact, have its share of high wind events. Last year, 2021, was a record-breaking year for Pennsylvania tornadoes, as nine twisters touched down in the western part of the state. During the same year, Hurricane Ida brought massive wind damage to our state and caused the Schuylkill River to reach a height of over 17 feet. As we look forward with hope to safer driving weather in 2022, we want[...]

What Are the Front Seat Requirements in Pennsylvania?

Published on February 11, 2022, by SHRAGER SACHS & BLANCO | Auto Accidents

The unfortunate reality is that millions of children are involved in car accidents in the United States each year. For more than roughly 1.5 million children, injuries are sustained that may have been prevented or minimized with the proper use of car seats or booster seats. Proper use includes following age, weight, and height limits. It also includes installing them properly in the vehicle. In many auto accents, even older children who no longer require a booster seat may have been safer in the second row. In fact,[...]

What Is a Pedestrian Safety Zone?

Published on February 5, 2022, by SHRAGER SACHS & BLANCO | Pedestrian Accidents

When motor vehicles strike pedestrians, the results are often catastrophic. This is a fact that pedestrian accident lawyers know all too well. Pedestrian safety zones are spaces or areas of a roadway that are meant for the exclusive use of pedestrians. The most common examples of pedestrian safety zones include sidewalks, crosswalks, and designated footpaths. Pedestrian safety zones are generally marked with cones, paint, delineators or other mediums to make them highly visible. Every year in the United States, careless and intoxicated motorists kill more than 6,000 pedestrians,[...]

How COVID Highlighted the Dangers of Hospital Understaffing

Published on January 20, 2022, by SHRAGER SACHS & BLANCO | In The News

Nurses have worked around the clock at hospitals to provide care for patients suffering from COVID-19. They’re working long hours in heavy personal protective equipment and devote all their attention and time to multiple patients. After going home exhausted, they get up the next day to do it all over again. However, many nurses are leaving or thinking about leaving the profession. Many chalk this movement up to COVID fatigue. But what’s really driving nurses away is how hospitals are managing them. In a New York Times video,[...]
