- Q. Bitten by a dog while delivering pizzas, what steps to take?
- A: First, see a doctor if you haven’t. Dog bites can be infected quickly, and the medical notes will document the injury. Report the incident to local animal control or the police as soon as possible. Pennsylvania requires dog bites to be recorded so that vaccination status can be confirmed and a formal record maintained. Inform your employer in writing that you were injured on the job and request confirmation of their intention to file a workers' compensation claim, as any resulting medical bills or lost wages from missed shifts should be covered. Once you have the incident report number, contact the dog’s owner (or have animal control do it) and request the homeowner’s or renter's ... Read More
- Q. Are deceased's parents entitled to wrongful death funds in PA?
- A: Yes, they may be. In Pennsylvania, compensation from a wrongful death claim is divided by the state’s intestacy rules, not by whoever is named in the lawsuit. If your husband left no children, you receive the first $30,000 and half of the balance. His surviving parents get the other half. If there are children, you and the children share the award, and the parents receive nothing. Survival actions proceed separately and pass through the estate under the will or, if there is none, according to the same intestacy rules. When the case ends, the court will review the family tree and order the distribution accordingly.
- Q. Liability for actors in transit accidents and potential employee status challenge in PA.
- A: In Pennsylvania, a nonprofit is generally not liable for an auto accident caused by an independent contractor who is driving a personally owned vehicle to or from a job. If, however, a court finds that the theatre exercises enough control over routes, schedules, or use of vehicles that the actors function more like employees, the organization could be held responsible and might also face a workers’ compensation claim. Courts will look beyond the written contract and focus on day-to-day realities, including who sets the itinerary, who can substitute drivers, whether the actor can refuse assignments, how payment is structured, etc. To limit exposure, be sure the actors carry adequate personal ...
