Philadelphia Civil Rights Attorneys

YRC&H attorneys have fought to hold government agencies accountable when their conduct results in serious and catastrophic injuries to innocent victims. YRC&H attorneys have represented seriously injured clients against local, state and federal government agencies responsible for unsafe highway design and traffic signal design that have resulted in accidents, dangerous conditions on government property, and dangerous conduct by government employees that have caused injuries or wrongful death. ($12,000,000.00 combined recovery for bystander’s injuries resulting from a police chase.)

YRC&H attorneys have also pursued federal civil rights claims on behalf of children who were victims of abuse and neglect in the foster care system when state laws subject to remedies were not sufficient. ($2,000,000.00 settlement with county/private foster agency for child physical abuse and sexual abuse in foster care.)
