Reach out to attorneys who handle pharmaceutical/product liability cases. They tend to be the larger firms that handle class action and multi-district injury litigation. Good luck

The Wall and Driveway were added about 30 years ago with the approval of our Upper Providence zoning officials. The Wall is about 6 ' tall and if a Child fell off, they could be badly injured. How can our legal responsibility be determined ?

Yes if this is a dangerous condition and you know children are climbing on the wall you could be liable. You should post signs to warn of any danger.

A Pennsylvania attorney could best answer your question, as it could be defined under state law. As a general point, public entities such as school districts could have short notice of claim requirements. Good luck

I had my vehicle inspected and days later my brakes gave out and the emergency brakes did not work either. This resulted in my spouse crashing the vehicle and sustaining some serious injuries.
