How do you ensure that the personal injury lawyer youâre considering is a good fit for your unique case? Personal injury (PI) law is a practice area where extensive trial experience and subject matter expertise count. Thatâs why we encourage you to interview several prospective personal injury attorneys before you hand your case over to the first firm you see advertised on TV.
In short, guardianship is a legal process designed to protect the interests of the most vulnerable: minor children in certain situations where their welfare is at stake and adults who are partially or totally unable to manage their own affairs because of incapacity or disability. In Pennsylvania, all guardianships fall under the jurisdiction of the Orphansâ Court division of the Court of Common Pleas in the county in which the minor or the incapacitated person resides.
As one of only a dozen states that operate under no-fault rules, in Pennsylvania, vehicle owners who are injured in a car accident have their medical bills paid by their own insurance company, no matter whoâs at fault for the accident.
No one wants to be involved in a slip and fall accident, yet in 2018, 27% of non-fatal work injuries resulting in days away from work were related to slips, trips, and falls. But, they can also happen at a store, restaurant, or even just walking down the street. Since June is National Safety Month, we wanted to share how to protect yourself from a personal injury and when to call a slip and fall lawyer.
An estate plan technically is not required of any individual, but itâs something that our estate planning law firm highly recommends everyone invest in. Why? No matter what age you are, youâre likely going to have assets that will need to be taken care of whenever you pass awayâincluding digital assets you may not have even considered. If you donât have an estate plan, this can cause complications for any of your remaining family members, and worse yetâyour end-of-life wishes may not be appropriately satisfied. Today, weâre going to talk about why you really should consider an e
The short answer to our title question today is yes, you absolutely can challenge a questionable willâwith the help of an experienced probate and estates lawyer who fully understands how to contest a will, that is. But should you challenge your loved oneâs will? That is the bigger question.
Itâs hard to believe that tax time is upon us once again. With that in mind, you probably landed on this article because you have nagging questions about working through various types of estate-related taxes. You may be a beneficiary of an estate (someone who inherits property or financial assets) or an executor or administrator of the estate. The latter fiduciary role will be responsible for making sure the tax man isnât forgotten as the estate is probated.
Itâs no secret that video cameras are all around us. In public spaces like stores, banks, airports, and even on the streets of many towns, weâre continuously being monitored by videoâand often recorded. While video surveillance footage is typically gathered in the name of public safetyâby police body cams and traffic cameras, for instanceâitâs true that it can have broader applications, and itâs particularly useful in personal injury cases.
What does the term âhit and runâ actually mean? And how can you protect yourself and your loved ones from being left with astronomical medical bills and property damage perpetrated by a hit and run driver? A hit and run is precisely what it sounds likeâwhen a motorist hits another vehicle, physical property, or even a pedestrian or cyclist and then flees the accident scene.
Experienced probate and estate lawyers strongly recommend setting up POA designations as part of your estate plan to be fully prepared for all eventualities as you age. In the question of guardianship vs. POA, you want to avoid your family needing to seek guardianship.
Whether youâre working through estate administration for a friend or family member and have questions about probate, or you have been hurt in an accident or on the job and need assistance from an experienced personal injury attorney, hiring a lawyer can seem intimidating. Typing âlawyers near meâ into Google and calling the first law firm or solo practice attorney that pops up is risky, as you likely wonât know much about that lawyerâs expertise in the specific area of law you need.
Whether your court case relates to personal injury or a family law matter like divorce or custody, posting the wrong things on social mediaâeven if your account isnât fully viewable by just anyoneâcould negatively impact your case. The fact is, social media posts on platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and the like can be found by insurance companies and investigatorsâand manipulated during litigation and used as evidence against you.
When it comes to estate planning, there are many legal terms involved that can cause confusion. If you are attempting to take a DIY approach without help from an experienced probates and estates attorney, youâre likely going to have a lot of questions. The term âtenants in common,â as well as the term âjoint tenancyââboth of which refer to ways real estate property ownership may be structuredâare two that often raise questions for those outside the legal world. Thatâs why weâre dedicating todayâs blog post to explaining this terminology in a little more detail. Both ownership structures have benefits and drawbacks, and they affect how property is transferred to heirs.
Did you know that Pennsylvania stiffened penalties for hit and run drivers in September of 2012? For victims and their loved ones that may be seeking justice, this is great news. Of course, locating the guilty party in a hit and run traffic collision is not always an easy feat. Additionally, just because a hit and run driver is facing criminal chargesâas weâve talked about in the past related to drunk drivers injuring innocent victimsâit does not mean you will automatically receive compensation for your lost wages, out-of-pocket medical expenses, or pain and suffering.
If you are thinking about seeking guardianship for a loved one in Pennsylvania, it is often an emotionally fraught situation. Sadly, minor children may need legal guardians because their biological parents have passed away suddenly or they are unable to care for them. Accidents and illnesses often lead previously capable adultsâwho never thought to put a power of attorney (POA) designation in place previouslyâneeding someone else to handle their affairs.
Our recent blog post answering the most frequently asked questions about slip and fall cases introduced the legal concept of premises liability. Itâs true that if you have experienced a slip and fall injury, premises liability will likely come into play in your personal injury case. But, what other types of incidents beyond slip and fall injuries could potentially constitute a premises liability claim? And, who can be held responsible for a victimâs personal injury or wrongful death in those premises liability claims?
As the executor or administrator of a decedentâs estate, your fiduciary relationship to the estate places a lot of responsibility squarely on your shoulders. An executor must make critical decisions for the estate and the beneficiaries in keeping with the law. Filing paperwork in a timely fashion and fulfilling financial and legal obligations are the name of the game when it comes to estate administration, and this includes timely tax filings and payments. Donât forget the tax man. Between death taxes on asset values and fiduciary income taxes on the estateâs income, your head might be spinning. There are filing deadlines and tax payments that must be made, and failure to meet these deadlines can be costly, opening up the executor or administrator to penalties and interest.
