Vehicle and Automobile Accidents
People injured in Springfield Township, Bradford County automobile crash
I don't normally post about specific automobile accidents and crashes. However, every once in a while the facts of a specific crash makes think about making a point.In a recent crash that happened in Springfield Township, Bradford County, two vehicles collided on Springfield Road (State Route 4014). You can read the entire article from the Towanda Daily Review here.
It is not clear from the article as to who caused the accident; however, it is clear that it was a significant accident. Just see the picture of one of the vehicles on its roof. The article indicates that both drivers were seriously injured and taken to the hospital. What struck me, though, is that Miss Brown had a four (4) year old in the car who was not injured.
I am sure the reason this child had no injuries, even though everyone else involved in the accident had serious injuries, was because of the child safety seat. The reason that I am blogging about this accident is because you can thank trial lawyers and consumer advocates for the child safety seat laws. Miss Brown’s child was not injured because of what we do every day.

No conflict of interest between Bradford County, Pennsylvania's new Judge and new District Attorney, despite them cousins
From the Towanda Daily Review:"Bradford County Court Judge Maureen Beirne can preside over criminal cases that are prosecuted by her first cousin, Bradford County District Attorney Daniel Barrett, according to an opinion issued recently by the president judge of the Bradford County Court of Common Pleas. The Pennsylvania Code of Judicial Conduct permits a judge to preside over a case in which the judge’s cousin is acting as an attorney, Jeffrey A. Smith, president judge of the Bradford County Court of Common Pleas, wrote in his opinion, which was filed Friday in the Bradford County Prothonotary’s Office."
I don't think they're very close anyway, despite being first cousins. Actually, I'm distantly related to Judge Beirne, a fact that I'm going to remind her about every time I'm in front of her!
Athens attorney Maureen T. Beirne nominated by governor for county judgeship
Congrats to Maureen. She'll make a great Judge!
