Pennsylvania Injury Lawyer Julia Munley Comments on Right-to-life battle of 13-year-old

The family of 13-year-old Jahi McMath, an 8th-grade girl from California who was declared brain dead after suffering complications from sleep apnea surgery, has achieved its goal of moving the girl to a new facility for long-term care to care for her injury.

Jahi underwent surgery at Children’s Hospital in Oakland on December 9 to treat sleep apnea. Surgeons removed her tonsils and other parts of her nose and throat to widen the air passages. While recovering in the Intensive Care Unit, she bled heavily from her mouth and nose and eventually went into cardiac arrest. Doctors at the hospital declared her brain dead three days later and moved December 20 to remove her from the ventilator. Although the doctors said that Jahi had no chance of recovering, the family appealed a judge’s decision that would allow the hospital to take her off life support. The judge ordered the hospital to keep Jahi on a ventilator until January 6. […]

Teens and Distracted Driving Could Require a Pennsylvania Injury Lawyer

As an experienced injury lawyer at Munley Law of Scranton, Pennsylvania, Marion Munley has seen many teens start out as careful, cautious drivers, but it only takes a few months behind the wheel before teens feel over-confident in their driving skills and get involved in a car accident.

Multitasking distracts teens and all drivers from the road, a skill that still requires their full attention.

Snow and Frigid Temperatures Cause Dangerous Road Conditions in Pennsylvania

Snowy road conditions have already caused hundreds of accidents in Pennsylvania this winter, shutting down highways and resulting in deaths and many injuries. During a sudden heavy storm over the recent holidays, a chain reaction crash involving 35 vehicles closed down a section of the Pennsylvania Turnpike. Several tractor-trailers were mixed in the wreckage, which caused a 4-mile traffic jam. Ten people were taken to area hospitals.

According to a Pennsylvania personal injury lawyer, those same wintry conditions existed when more than 40 vehicles piled up in multiple crashes on I-78, closing the interstate for a time, and resulting in more than 60 injuries. State Police also reported that sudden snow squalls causing numerous accidents resulted in the Northeast Extension of the turnpike being closed on Christmas Eve from Clarks Summit to Allentown. Numerous accidents have also been reported on smaller roadways throughout Pennsylvania.
