WHAT IS NEW AT THE TULLY LAW FIRM IN 2024 DEATH CLAIMS: We are currently representing the Estates of 3 families who had loved ones killed due to the carelessness (negligence) of others. Without discussing any particulars of the cases, the tragic deaths happened under the following circumstances: 1. A child was tragically killed when a bus driver failed to see the child crossing the street. The issue whether the driver was at fault is being hotly contested. 2. A family member was sadly killed when a building collapsed, while the victim was inside. 3. A family member died in a highway fatality. A tractor trailer hit some low hanging power lines going across the roadway causing the tragedy. Sorting out just who was at fault in these claims will take many years, but we are 100% on it for the wonderful families we represent. These brave people live with these tragedies every single day. Our prayers go out to each of one of those beautiful people. One of the many benefits of my job is knowing at the end of the case we may have done something in some small way to help these families.
READER LEGAL BEAGLES: 1. Can police search your phone when they pull you over in Pennsylvania? NO Police cannot search your phone without a warrant in Pennsylvania. In a 2018 case, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled that any attempts by law enforcement to access cellphone data without a warrant violates the Fourth Amendment. 2. Is there a penalty for texting and driving in Pennsylvania? Yes, although currently it is only a fine. The fine could be hefty if you are pulled over for suspected texting and driving in Pennsylvania. According to police officials, distracted driving is one of the most common causes of crashes in Pa.

WHO WAS MY 1ST EMPLOYEE WHEN I WENT OUT ON MY OWN? My MOM! The first day mom came to work, I gave her a letter to type and said, “Can you get this done now?” She looked at me and said, “Sure, after I eat my donut and coffee!!” That was my mom, Lorraine, in a nutshell. Well, here we are 40 years later and thankfully WE NEVER missed a single payroll! Some may say that it was just blind luck. But I believe it was Jesus looking out for me in a personal way all these years. Thank you, God!
