Trucking Accidents
A young girl was on her way home from a college fundraiser when a tractor-trailer operator traveling in the opposite direction crushed her small vehicle and pinned her against a guard wall beside the road. She was taken by helicopter to a nearby hospital. The young girl was in a medically induced coma for multiple days and was forced to undergo numerous surgeries. The tractor-trailer was owned and operated by a large multi-national company which immediately sent its “rapid response team” to the accident scene to gather evidence. Its investigators and lawyers were preparing its defense while the girl tragically laid in a coma. The trucking company initially denied responsibility for the accident and refused to consider settlement. Liss & Marion prepared the case for trial. To win the case and maximize the award, Liss & Marion hired multiple experts in the fields of medicine, psychology, trucking regulations, and accident reconstruction. After months of aggressive lawyering, the case was settled. Due to a confidentiality agreement, the details of the settlement may not be disclosed. However, the client received well in excess of $3,000,000. If you are seriously hurt in a trucking accident, call us immediately.

Pedestrian Injuries
Patricia, a 44-year-old woman, was walking across a large intersection in Philadelphia. She began to cross the intersection on a green traffic signal, however, the light turned to yellow after she stepped into the street. The light turned red while Patricia was still crossing the street, and an oncoming vehicle with a green traffic signal struck Patricia. She suffered a serious injury and was transported by ambulance to the emergency room. Her treatment was further complicated when the emergency room physicians learned that she was under the influence of alcohol. Liss & Marion pursued a claim for Patricia against the driver of the vehicle that struck her. Liss successfully argued that Patricia’s alcohol consumption was inadmissable since there was no evidence that Patricia was impaired or that her condition contributed to the accident. Liss & Marion recovered from the motorist’s insurance company the maximum policy limits available to Patricia.
Product Injury & Liability
Ricky L. Liss, Esquire represented a 12-year-old boy, who was in a baseball batting cage with a defective pitching machine. The pitching machine shot hard, plastic balls too fast and directly at the boy, striking him in the face and breaking his jaw, which had to be wired shut for weeks. Fortunately, the boy made a complete recovery and Liss won substantial compensation for him.

Some injuries are the user’s fault, but many are caused by unsafe products, which are improperly designed or manufactured. A person may recover damages for injuries he or she suffers as a result of a defective product. A product is defective if it was designed inadequately, manufactured improperly or lacked adequate warnings or instructions.
