The 5 Most Common Causes of Preventable Motorcycle Accidents

Published on October 12, 2017, by SHRAGER SACHS & BLANCO | Auto Accidents

However, due to their smaller size and the lack of protection they provide riders, motorcyclists are among the most vulnerable motorists on our roads. As such, riders have greater needs to remain vigilant and defensive when sharing public roads and highways with other vehicles. Unfortunately, as we have seen throughout the years representing victims of auto accidents across Philadelphia and the state on Pennsylvania, even the most vigilant riders can[...]

Published on August 29, 2017, by SHRAGER SACHS & BLANCO | Auto Accidents

If you are involved in a car accident, you may think you are unharmed just because you don’t feel any pain. However, sometimes your injuries may not present themselves until days after the crash.

With this in mind, you can still pursue compensation for injuries that are not immediately[...]
