Prob not the city's fault, but that doesn't mean you can't turn your dumb moment into a payday.

They will drag anybody with pockets into this one.There will be multiple paydays.

May 2015 a women on a device walked right into a passing Duck Boat. At 11th and Arch, near Reading Terminal Market. Even the paramedics were sickened by the damage a heavy vehicle can have after rolling over one's head.

As for Mrs. Basement Drop-In, I predict, "I just want to get better and get on with my life". Then a couple months later, WHAM. Standard Philly Practice. $200,000 settlement.

The settlement in the June 2013 Salvation Army building collapse, where a demo crew knocked a 4-story building onto a small Salvation Army store at 22st and Market was $227,000,000.

Six people were killed in the crushed building, five women and a man.

On June 12, 2013, Ronald Wagenhoffer, the 52-year-old City Department of Licenses and Inspections inspector responsible for inspecting the demolition site, was found dead in his truck with a gunshot to the chest. His death was ruled a suicide.

So to sum it up, settlements are big business in Philadelphia.

A person on the Elevated wearing a neck brace? It is a status symbol. It means you have money or you're getting money.
