The handwritten statement by a man, now 29, identified only as “John Doe A” accompanied a lawsuit filed on Wednesday in Philadelphia Common Pleas Court against Sandusky, Penn State University and The Second Mile, a charity founded by Sandusky to help troubled children.
Although the accuser is the ninth to emerge against Sandusky in relation to accusations of abuse, the lawsuit is the first to be filed in the scandal that has rocked the world of multimillion dollar college athletics.

News Bakersfield Attorney Reacts To Alarming Study About Teen Car Accidents
Posted: November 30, 2011 | Author: Lawyer | Filed under: Car Accident Lawyers | Comments Off on News Bakersfield Attorney Reacts To Alarming Study About Teen Car AccidentsTeenagers have the highest car accident rate of any group in the United States, and a recent study reveals just how dangerous new teenager drivers can be.
Bakersfield CA accident attorney Mickey Fine urges parents of teen drivers to take note of a study by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety. Researchers found that teen drivers are about 50 percent more likely to crash in the first month of driving than they are after a full year of experience driving on their own. Furthermore, the young drivers are nearly twice as likely to become involved in an auto accident as they are after two full years of experience, according to the study.
A related AAA Foundation study used in-vehicle cameras to monitor teens when they were learning to drive with their parents. Some of the teens were caught texting behind the wheel, engaging in horseplay with passengers, running red lights, and other potentially distracting or dangerous behaviors.
The AAA Foundation recommends the following steps for new teen drivers:
Practice driving after receiving the license to ensure the basic skills are mastered.
Limit the number of passengers in the car to avoid distractions.
Limit night driving, when the reduced visibility makes for riskier driving for people of all ages.
Set rules extending beyond the state laws, such as possibly limiting highway or city driving or barring the teen from driving in inclement weather.
News Personal Injury Lawyer Reflects On Pedestrian Death Study in WV
Posted: November 30, 2011 | Author: Lawyer | Filed under: Auto Accident Lawyer | Comments Off on News Personal Injury Lawyer Reflects On Pedestrian Death Study in WVNearly anyone who heads out for a walk on a regular basis likely keeps an eye out for drivers who may be distracted or operating recklessly. If you’re on foot in November, your risk of getting killed is far greater than at other times of the year, according to a study released by two Carnegie Mellon University researchers.
The researchers concluded that the November time change to standard time, or the end of daylight-saving time, has an impact on drivers, who may need weeks to get used to the new daylight patterns.
The study finds that the adjustment leads to a 300 percent greater chance of pedestrians being struck and killed by a car for the first few weeks after the return to standard time.
