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.

What Happens When Your Doctor Misreads Your Test Results?

Published on June 24, 2022, by SHRAGER SACHS & BLANCO | Medical Malpractice

When you start experiencing unexplained symptoms, pain, or health concerns, your first stop may be your primary care physician. You trust your doctor to listen to your concerns and, when necessary, to send you for testing or to see a specialist.

When your doctor misreads your test results, you could be at risk for additional[...]

What Factors Affect My Truck Accident Settlement?

Published on June 17, 2022, by SHRAGER SACHS & BLANCO | Truck Accidents

Truck-involved collisions often have more devastating results compared to car-on-car ones. It's common for crashes between passenger cars and tractor-trailers to leave behind significant physical damage to the sedan or sports utility vehicle (SUV) involved and for these types of collisions to leave the non-commercial automobiles' occupants with debilitating injuries or dead.  The catastrophic nature of truck-involved collisions often leaves passenger car occupants wondering what rights to compensation they have. Perhaps the best way to make sense of how much of a truck accident settlement you might be[...]
