A semi-truck crash can change everything in seconds. 🚛

If you're ever in this situation in Norristown, the first hours matter most. Call 911. Get medical attention the same day, even if you feel okay. Adrenaline can mask serious injuries like internal bleeding.

Document everything while it's fresh: photos of the scene, the truck's USDOT number, witness contact info. Commercial trucks in PA must carry at least $750,000 in liability coverage, but accessing it requires preserved evidence and knowing your rights.

Don't give a recorded statement to the trucking company's insurer before talking to an attorney. That's when costly mistakes happen. Call Solomon, Berschler, Campbell & Thomas at 610-279-4300 to protect your future. 📞

Myth: The trucking company's insurance adjuster is there to help you after a crash. ❌

Fact: Adjusters are trained to ask questions designed to reduce or deny your claim. You're not legally required to give them a recorded statement. ✅

After a semi-truck collision in Norristown, early settlement offers may seem generous but often fall far short of your actual losses. Before the full extent of medical treatment, lost wages, and long-term rehab needs are clear, it's nearly impossible to know if an offer is fair.

Protect yourself. Politely decline recorded statements until you've talked to an attorney. Call Solomon, Berschler, Campbell & Thomas at 610-279-4300. 📞

Imagine this: You're focused on recovering from an injury in Norristown, and suddenly realize it's been nearly two years since your accident. ⏰

In Pennsylvania, you generally have just two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. That deadline is set in stone under state law. Miss it, and you could lose your right to seek compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering entirely.

Evidence fades. Witnesses forget details. Your case gets harder to build with every passing month. If you were hurt due to someone else's negligence, don't let the clock run out. Call Solomon, Berschler, Campbell & Thomas at 610-279-4300 to discuss your situation. 📞

Trucking companies often dispatch their teams to crash scenes within hours. Their goal? Minimize liability before you leave the hospital.

Electronic logging device data, driver logs, and maintenance records can reveal fatigue violations, mechanical defects, or other negligence. But this evidence doesn't last forever. Companies may overwrite it unless they're formally required to preserve it.

Enter the spoliation letter. It's a legal demand sent to the trucking company requiring them to save all records tied to the collision. Acting fast protects evidence that could prove your case.

If you've been hurt in a semi-truck crash on Routes 202, 422, or anywhere near Norristown, call Solomon, Berschler, Campbell & Thomas at 610-279-4300. 📞

Before any jury hears your case, there's an early hearing that can shape everything: the preliminary hearing before a magisterial district judge. In Montgomery County, this proceeding determines whether the Commonwealth has presented a prima facie case, a much lower standard than "beyond a reasonable doubt."

You can observe and cross-examine witnesses, plus inspect physical evidence. If a prima facie case is found, the matter proceeds to trial. If not, the judge must dismiss the complaint, though the Commonwealth may re-file with additional evidence.

Facing charges in Montgomery County? Early attention to the preliminary hearing creates options. Contact Solomon, Berschler, Campbell & Thomas: 610-279-4300.

Your preliminary hearing is more than a procedural step, it's a strategic opportunity.

In Norristown and elsewhere in Montgomery County, the Commonwealth must present evidence at the preliminary hearing. Witnesses testify and the prosecution's evidence is put before the magisterial district judge. Your defense team has the right to cross-examine witnesses and inspect physical evidence, which can reveal inconsistencies, gaps in the prosecution's case, or procedural problems that may affect admissibility later.

If the Commonwealth fails to establish a prima facie case or probable cause, the issuing authority must dismiss the charges and discharge you.

If you're arrested in Norristown or anywhere in Montgomery County, call Solomon, Berschler, Campbell & Thomas at 610-279-4300.

Myth: The truck driver is the only one at fault in a semi-truck crash.

Fact: Multiple parties can share liability in Pennsylvania.

🚛 The trucking company, cargo loaders, and maintenance providers may all be held responsible depending on what caused the collision.

Pennsylvania follows a modified comparative negligence rule. If you're found less than 51% at fault, you can still recover damages. But your percentage of fault reduces what you receive.

If you or a loved one was injured in a semi-truck collision in Norristown or Montgomery County, call Solomon, Berschler, Campbell & Thomas at 610-279-4300.

PA parents: Did you know your child support amount likely changed on January 1st? 💰

Pennsylvania updated its child support guidelines for the first time in 4 years. Most families are seeing increases of 3-10% to reflect rising costs of living.

Here's the thing: the change won't happen automatically. You have to file a petition to modify your order.

Key updates:
- Higher basic support amounts across most income levels
- New protections for low-income parents
- Mental health and orthodontia costs now included automatically
- NO filing fee to request a modification

Filing sooner matters because changes only go back to your filing date, not January 1st.

If you're unsure how this affects your situation, call us at 610-279-4300 to discuss your case and get clarity on what you're entitled to.

Let's make sure your support order reflects today's reality.

A criminal conviction doesn't always have the final word.
In Pennsylvania, the clock can start moving fast after sentencing. ⏰

If you were convicted in Norristown or Montgomery County, a direct appeal usually focuses on legal mistakes in the record, not re-arguing the whole case.

Common issues that can be reviewed:
- Trial court errors (like wrong instructions or evidence rulings)
- Prosecutor misconduct
- Ineffective assistance of counsel
- An illegal sentence

Actionable takeaway: Write down your sentencing date and confirm the deadline to file a Notice of Appeal, missing it can end a direct appeal before it starts.

Pled guilty? Appeal rights can be narrower, but some issues may still be reviewable (like whether the plea was truly voluntary).

Your Norristown criminal case usually starts in a local district court, then it can move fast. 🏛️

In Montgomery County, most cases begin at a Magisterial District Court for early steps like the first appearance and the preliminary hearing. If it's a felony, the case can move to the Court of Common Pleas after that hearing.

Quick timeline to expect:
Arrest/citation → first court date (often within ~72 hours if arrested) → preliminary hearing (usually within weeks) → next court dates set.

Actionable takeaway: Write down everything you remember right now (who, what, where, times, witnesses). Details fade, and accuracy matters.

Also: don't post about your case online, social media can be used in court.

Have a court date in Norristown or Montgomery County and want to understand what's next? Call Solomon, Berschler, Campbell & Thomas at 610-279-4300 or comment "TIMELINE" and we'll share what to bring to your first meeting. 📞
