Results

Successfully Defended a National Car-Sharing Company in a Multi-Party Suit

We successfully defended a national car-sharing company, resulting in a dismissal of all claims. The case involved a multi-party suit arising out of a commercial auto accident. Through aggressive pleading, we obtained a dismissal by arguing that both federal and state law provisions prohibited any claims against the car-sharing company.

Defense Shaves $85K Demand to $4K Jury Verdict in Personal Injury Case

The plaintiff claimed she sustained serious head and neck injuries following a two-car motor vehicle accident. At trial, we demonstrated that the plaintiff’s alleged injuries were largely related to pre-accident and degenerative medical conditions. The defense also highlighted the fact this was the plaintiff’s third personal injury lawsuit in a 15-year span. On the day of trial, the plaintiffs reduced their demand from $85,000 to $75,000. At the conclusion of trial, the jury returned a verdict of only $4,000.

From Instagram to the Jury: Lessons in Digital Evidence Authentication

October 1, 2025

In an era when nearly every potential litigant carries a digital record of their daily life, social media evidence has become a staple in both criminal and civil proceedings. Text messages, direct messages, posts, and even audio files shared over social media platforms can provide critical insights into liability, damages, and credibility. Yet, as the Pennsylvania Superior Court’s decision in Commonwealth v. Floyd, 2025 WL 1905168 (Pa. Super. 2025) demonstrates, such evidence cannot be taken at face value. Its admission requires proper authentication, and failure to meet these standards can result in exclusion-even when the evidence seems obviously relevant.

The Legal Intelligencer

Pennsylvania’s Expanding Vicarious Liability Standard

February 27, 2025

The Pennsylvania Superior Court’s Jan. 31, 2025, ruling in Coryell v. Morris represents an expansion in the state’s approach to vicarious liability for franchisors. In Coryell, the court upheld a jury verdict that found Domino’s Pizza vicariously liable for the negligence of a franchisee’s delivery driver. The case arose out of an auto accident involving the plaintiff and a delivery driver of the franchisee. Following the accident, the plaintiff filed a personal injury lawsuit against the delivery driver, the franchisee (Robizza, Inc.), and Domino’s Pizza.
