CBS 21 News is reporting that Andrew King, a 16-year old Amish teenager involved in a crash at Orchard Road and Old Philadelphia Pike, has died. King had been riding his horse when a 54-year old man from Delaware slammed into him in his SUV.
This tragedy marks the second Philadelphia car accident within a week that's claimed the life of an Amish child. The Saturday before last, 8-year old Amish Fisher was hit by a car and killed while he was riding a scooter... just 200 yards away from where King got hit.
The local Amish community is obviously devastated by this pair of tragic, fatal Philadelphia car accidents.
In horrific cases like these, victims or family members of victims may turn to a Philadelphia accident lawyer to figure out how to get compensated for injuries and damages sustained. Obviously, you can't put a price on a human life. But even though you may be reeling from the accident and confused and overwhelmed by the situation, a Philadelphia injury lawyer can reassure you and reduce your stress and anxiety level.
In the wake of a serious accident, a lawsuit is usually the last thing on your mind. You want to focus on healing and caring for victims who've been hurt, and you also need to take care of secondary logistics. For instance, if your spouse got injured, you have to figure out how to manage child care. Or if you've been seriously disabled by an injury crash, you need to figure out how to deal with your work situation and finances.
The good news is that a qualified and experienced Philadelphia injury lawyer can explain exactly what to do - as well as what not to do - to maximize your ability to recover damages and minimize the amount of time and energy you have to spend thinking about the aftermath of the crash.
The same lesson holds for medical malpractice cases. For instance, say your husband got sick after a pharmacist overprescribed his diabetes medication. The last thing in the world you would want to think about is how to file for damages against the pharmacist or against a representative insurance company - you would probably have your hands managing the bare essentials.
In this case, a Philadelphia medical malpractice lawyer could advise you and protect your rights to get full compensation. An attorney can minimize your stress and give you confidence and clarity of thought to make the best decisions about healthcare choices and family logistics.
