June 9, 2014 attorney Joseph F Orso III, of the Williamsport law firm of Rudinski Orso and Associates has announced the settlement of a wrongful death action. The wrongful death settlement arose out of a fatal accident involving a pedestrian.

The case involved a pedestrian who was walking on the wrong side of the road in the early morning hours. The decedent had been drinking earlier that night and was struck by a drunk driver.
The civil attorneys at Rudinski Orso and Associates were successful in persuading the insurance companies attorney or attorneys that the drunk driver was more responsible for the accident than the Decedent. "Ultimately, our arguments were accepted" stated attorney Orso.
