So, this beauty showed up in my office parking lot recently. I love cool flashy things just as much as the next guy, but this doesn’t seem like a plan for long life. It apparently is classified as a motorcycle. So, in some states, not PA, you are required to wear a helmet in your slingshot. It might be a …
Here is an Un-Triable Case: So, what do you do here?
In February, 2022, your client, a New York man was hit by a Volkswagen driven by a woman, which allegedly left your client with severe injuries. He became the plaintiff. The case is ongoing in the New York Court system. The man had filed three or four prior motor vehicle cases in the past ten years. That does not make …
Lawyer as Negative Feedback Loop and The Fair Share Act
I view myself as a professional vengeance machine. The penance or vengeance I get is in money terms and never quite the revenge people wanted and rarely ever complete, but it is a form of retribution. What do I mean? If someone crashes their car into you and hurts you or your family or just simply postpones maintenance until someone …
Flo and Progressive
Progressive insurance has decided that it wants to be more like State Farm. Sort of like DeSantis trying to be Trump. Snake Farm has developed a reputation on my side of the fence for being exceedingly unreasonable on offers and settlements. This is very well known in the business of insurance lawyering. Does this help their bottom line? I don’t …
DON’T CRY FOR ME GEICO/PROGRESSIVE/STATE FARM
Recently, a lot of articles in the business news have caught my eye on this tearjerker subject. Apparently, the insurers have been getting far more automobile crash claims than they expected and have been taking underwriting losses. That means that State Farm for example lost $3.5 billion dollars in 2021 because they paid out more claim dollars than they received …
Joey Whispers on Tik Tok
If you are not following Joey Whispers on tik tok, you should take a look. It appeals to me because I handle a lot of car accidents. In just about every case I take, liability or negligence is already admitted. It doesn’t make sense to take cases where liability is in question. Joey Whispers drives a dump truck in South …
Bodily Injury Claims When You Were Injured While A Passenger In Your Own Vehicle
Does this happen? Periodically. Can you make a claim for it? Absolutely. I have settled two cases like this for a total of $600,000 in the past few years in just this scenario. Most people only look at their bodily injury coverage as protection for when you injure someone else with your car. But, the insurance also covers you when …
Should You Drop Collision Coverage on An Old Car That You Still Use?
The short answer is No, don’t drop collision coverage if you will struggle to buy a new or even a used car after a crash. A lot of people, me included, drop collision coverage on older cars. Collision requires the insurer to repair your vehicle, no matter how old, unless the cost of repairs is larger than the book value …
TREAT WILLIAMS DEATH AND THE LEFT TURN CASE
The actor Treat Williams died yesterday in a motorcycle crash that was probably not his fault. Treat was a staple of my youth and generally seemed like a decent guy living his life in Vermont. He was killed when a driver made a left turn across Williams’ lane of travel and Williams slammed into the car on his motorcycle. These …

This article is entirely dedicated to Sheets. If you’re not a Philadelphia local, Sheetz is a cherished convenience store chain in our region and is one of the most popular and …
