Michael S. Misher

Represented plaintiff involved in an accident on I95 in Bucks County. A few moments prior to this accident there had been a traffic accident on I95, involving several uninsured vehicles. The DiCicco vehicle accident resulted, in part, from attempting to avoid the prior accident. As a result of this accident, Mrs. DiCicco sustained a multitude of injuries, including a right hip fracture requiring surgical intervention (ORIF) and an eventual right hip replacement. A substantial recovery was made under the DiCicco Bodily Injury Policy. In addition, a further substantial recovery was made under the DiCicco Uninsured Motorist Coverage portion of the policy despite the fact that the prevailing law in the Commonwealth prevented both a bodily injury claim and an uninsured motorist claim under the same policy of insurance.

Plaintiff, John Jackson and his wife Joyce were represented by Ted M. Schaer and Michael S. Misher. As of January 27, 2011, the date of John’s fall, he was sixty-seven (67) years old, and had been married to Joyce for forty-eight (48) years. He was the father of four grown children, and the grandfather to ten (10) grandchildren. He had just retired from his thirty-plus year career in custodial management, but had returned to working part time at Sears in the Home and Garden section. John fell while carefully walking across Lakeview Circle to help his neighbor shovel out her driveway. As a result of his fall, he was rendered a quadriplegic. Schaer and Misher were successful in proving the negligence of all defendants with regard to the ice and snow removal on the cul-de-sac. As a result, Mr. and Mrs. Jackson were able to agree to a substantial settlement prior to trial.
