1. The parents of a young boy from King of Prussia came to us because their young son was struck by a van while playing in the street and unfortunately suffered traumatic head injuries. They had already consulted with two prior law firms who informed them that their was no other avenue for them to obtain any compensation for their brain injured child since they had already obtained the total insurance policy limits of the driver of the van that struck their son. After sitting down with the parents and obtaining additional information and investigation, we were able to make a claim against the parents renters's insurance policy and obtain the entire policy limits so that their young son could now obtain the type of treatment that he would need for the rest of his life for his head injury.
2. The father of two young children is out on Halloween night trick or treating near Schwenksville. The father is holding his young daughter in his arms when he is suddenly and unexpectedly struck by a car and thrown into the air. Fortunately, this loving father had the presence of mind to cradle his young daughter in his arms which prevented his daughter from sustaining any serious injuries. However, he suffered permanent injuries to the left side of his body including his hip which disabled him from his self employed business. The state police report and the driver of the vehicle claimed that the father was standing in the roadway and therefore was at fault in causing this accident. Our firm was able to effectively counteract the damaging evidence and successfully obtain a substantial settlement so that this father could be adequately compensated for his injuries and get on with his life despite this serious accident.

After peripheral vascular surgery, a middle aged man, because of complications becomes ventilator dependent and requires constant monitoring at a Philadelphia hospital A fire alarm for a fire drill goes off and the hospital nursing staff leaves our client, who is ventilator dependent, unattended for a substantial period of time.

Unfortunately, our client ultimately died from this negligence. Our firm was successful in obtaining compensation for our client's widow and her family for the wrongful death of her husband.
4. For many years our client worked as a heavy equipment mechanic for this Bucks County company repairing large trucks and other large heavy equipment. Our client frequently used various degreasing solvents with his bare hands because his gloves would quickly deteriorate because of the strength of these degreasers and solvents. After working for this company for several years, our client began experiencing hypersensitivity from every day products such as soaps and colognes. By extensive research and using specialized medical experts, our firm was able to successfully obtain a workers compensation settlement so that he could better deal with his extraordinary sensitivity and disability.

Suddenly and without any warning the roof collapses causing him to fall to the ground several stories. As a result, our client suffers multiple injuries, both externally and internally.

Despite his return to work, we were able to obtain a sizable workers compensation settlement for our client for both his weekly compensation benefits and his right to medical treatment.
6. A woman from Jeffersonville is rear-ended at a red light. She is in a large town car and there is only minor damage to her vehicle. Many of her complaints cannot be objectively identified by any diagnostic medical studies. In addition, because of her age she has many preexisting medical conditions.

7. A school bus driver from Doylestown was stopped at a red light in traffic. Without any warning, the rear of his bus was struck so violently that it was pushed into the vehicle in front of him. Since our client was in the course and scope of his employment, we obtained our client's workers compensation benefits which included his right to medical treatment since he suffered very serious injuries. In addition, we aggressively pursued an additional claim against the driver of the vehicle that rear ended the school bus and caused this entire chain collision. Our firm is experienced in handling many work related motor vehicle accidents and other work related personal injury cases. There are many different rights which a client has in a work related personal injury case so that it is very important that all of these rights are correctly preserved and pursued to maximize the compensation to our clients.
8. Our client was a customer in a small convenience store in Reading when the store was robbed and our client was shot at point blank range by the robber. We were able to get a successful result and large settlement for our client since the store owner did not install proper safety measures that would protect and keep safe any customers in the convenience store. In addition to a successful civil action, our client was very appreciative of our continued help and support that our firm rendered as he and his family suffered through the criminal investigation and trial of this tragic crime. Lombardi & Associates worked with the Reading District Attorney's office to help put the perpetrator behind bars.
