College Disciplinary Hearings

When a student is accused of a criminal offense or violating the school’s code of conduct, college or university officials can initiate a student disciplinary hearing. The outcome of the disciplinary hearing is just as important as the outcome of the criminal case, as both can result in serious penalties. Many individuals are unaware of the severity of the consequences that can result in the student disciplinary sanctions, such as dismissal from the college, impediment to acceptance at other schools and graduate programs and a permanent mark attached to the student’s record. Mr. Montroy has successfully represented students in such hearings throughout the State of Pennsylvania. There is a wide array of punishments that a college or university may adjudicate if a student is found responsible for the alleged conduct. Please contact the Law Offices of Andrew David Montroy, Esq., for an experienced attorney to handle your disciplinary hearing.

Area of Practice

Personal Injury

Every year, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports around 1,500 fatalities in Pennsylvania due to motor vehicle accidents. The number of serious injuries is even higher.

If you or a loved one suffered injury, or was killed, in an auto accident in the Philadelphia area, call the Law Offices of Andrew David Montroy.

Experienced Pennsylvania Motor Vehicle Crash Attorneys

We understand how to challenge insurance companies’ reluctance to give full and fair compensation by building strong cases that clearly show why financial damages are necessary. We tell our clients’ stories in a compelling and persuasive manner, emphasizing medical reports and projected financial loss over their lifetime. Our approach has helped us recover millions of dollars in compensation for auto accident victims suffering from head injuries, spinal cord injuries and other serious injuries.

Our Philadelphia motor vehicle accident attorneys have handled serious motor vehicle accident cases, including:

Car Accidents

After a car, truck, or motorcycle accident it’s essential that injury victims recover damages proportional to their losses. At the Law Offices of Andrew David Montroy, lawyers determine the cost of our clients’ injuries in terms of future medical treatment, physical therapy, medical equipment, prescription drugs, and lost earnings. Working with economists and life care planners, our lawyers project your costs based on expert testimony using cost data gathered from HMOs and insurance companies. Our office also takes action to ensure any medical or employment benefits you are eligible to receive be activated in order to provide much needed financial support for you and your family while you recover.

Fatal Truck Accidents

With the great disparity between the size and weight of a passenger car and a fully loaded tractor-trailer or semi, a truck accident on I-95 or other area highway often means catastrophic or fatal injury for the car occupants. Your attorney must understand the intricacies of trucking law and wrongful death claims, as well as have the skill and experience to help you secure justice and compensation.
At the Law Offices of Andrew David Montroy, we understand the law that regulates the trucking industry and the complex issues that surround semi and 18-wheeler accidents. We work compassionately with families of fatal truck accident victims to seek fair compensation for their losses. Our practice is focused on personal injury and wrongful death cases, so we can fully dedicate our time, skill, experience and resources to your case.

Bike/Bicycle Accidents

Were you hit by a car when riding your bike? Despite improved safety measures such as signs and bike lanes, bicyclists and pedestrians are still at increased vulnerability for serious injuries. Drivers simply do not pay attention to others sharing the roadways.

At the Law Offices of Andrew David Montroy, one of the primary benefits we can offer you is the fact that we focus our practice on personal injury cases. We know how to recover full and fair compensation. We are not afraid to take your case to trial to collect the damages you deserve.

Like pedestrians and passengers of cars hit by out-of-state drivers, bicyclists are deemed full tort, regardless of whether they carry full-tort coverage on their Pennsylvania auto insurance.
In hit-and-run cases where the driver and vehicle are never identified, however, injured bike riders must also rely on their own auto insurance policies if they hope to collect benefits based on their uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage. Bicyclists with no auto insurance policy of their own may still be eligible to collect benefits under the Pennsylvania Assigned Claims Plan.

Whenever an automobile or commercial vehicle hits a bike rider, catastrophic injuries or even death are likely. Our car accident attorneys have experience developing adequate life care plans for people with injuries such as head trauma, spinal cord damage and more. We diligently prepare and research every case as if for trial. As a result, we have been very successful in helping our clients obtain the compensation they deserve.

Mass Transit and Bus Accidents

Have you or a member of your family recently suffered a catastrophic injury in a taxi, subway, commuter train or bus accident?

Auto Accidents Involving Explosions

Motor vehicle accidents — even those occurring at relatively low speeds — can cause car fires and gas tank explosions. The result is often catastrophic, leading to severe burns or death.

Are you the victim of a gas tank explosion? Our personal injury lawyers may be able to help recover the compensation you need to start putting your life back together.

Our firm is focused on representing people throughout Greater Philadelphia who were injured because of someone’s negligence. We also handle wrongful death lawsuits for families that have lost loved ones in car explosions.

The resulting burn injuries are usually lifelong injuries that require multiple corrective surgeries and substantial life care plans.

Our lawyers understand both what is at stake for you and the legal issues that pertain to car explosion and fire cases. We are committed to recovering the full and fair compensation you deserve. Insurance company tactics to minimize your payout do not intimidate us, and we will go to trial if necessary to obtain a successful result.
