What Is New At The Law Firm of Bernard M. Tully?
I have just written a Personal Injury book. The book is called “How To Get The Most $$ For Your Injury Case”. The book will be uploaded to our website for your viewing. In the book I say the vast majority of all our new personal injury cases come from the good people (you) who read my monthly Newsletter! I thank you for continuing to refer us friends, relatives and neighbors. Anyone who was injured in an accident is worth us talking to. Thank you.

There is a case currently before the Pennsylvania Supreme Court where the mother of a child is attempting to receive child support from the step-father of her children.

Jury Awards $5.4 Million To Brain Damaged Cyclist
A jury has awarded $5.4 million to a man who suffered a brain injury after falling off his bike because of a road defect. The patch of road where he fell was dangerous and caused the severe injuries in this case. Guess how much of that money the victim will get? $500,000. Why? Because that is the most anyone can recover against a State or governmental agency. Do you agree with this?
Fantasy Sports Headed Back To Realty
A class action lawsuit has been filed against 2 major players in the fantasy sports industry, namely DraftKings and FanDuel, questioning the self-regulatory methods of their contests.

What We Do In Criminal Cases
We recently filed a Habeas Corpus Motion for a client who was charged with DUI. The Habeas Corpus Motion claimed the Commonwealth could not legally prove when the Defendant last consumed alcohol before driving his car. The Judge agreed with our position and threw that part of the DUI case out of Court. That didn’t get rid of the other charges against him, but at least the one section of the DUI case against my client is gone. (Whew!)
Woodland Hills School Disaster
Local news stories about how many teachers, administrators and maybe even the new principal have physically abused and beat high school students are just shocking. The school has to clean house and these people must stop hitting and abusing students. What do you think?
