1-17-12 surgery and then immediate dismissal as soon as they discovered that W.M.C. was
refusing to cover it and I had no insurance and since...
THERAPY - NONE
Waiting on workmans comp hearing April 24th 2012
No Go they are lieing, next Nov 12th 2013 in which I have an abundance of photographs for proof..
WMC is either going to comply or I then can
apply for state insurance to get the therapy going.
Iwas fine at the 50th birthday party they threw for me at my friend Marys house on New years eve 2012 many oics
and witnesses I was fne as all could say I am a show man ..Musician. all around helping good guy.
I was wondering why I was falling/loosing balance since the surgery
I said somethings still not right to many people.. TRUE There are more alements from the
accident as I learned 4-4-2012 about 3 bulged disk in lower back area.
Doctor Jallo showed us on the MRI but was not treating it??? I might need another surgery in 6 months.
Dr. Jallo gave me no restrictions for the neck but without the proper therapy and treatment I do not know the
extent of the nerve damage from spinal cord injury. I do not have insurance and have not had help since the surgery.
I have had no medications or other since the surgery. the pain at times is an 8 on 1-10 scale doing very light
excercise waiting for outcome for insurance.
Wife purchased a Ford Converter van with
a folding bed to transport me.
$2200
My wife also also purchased me a cane and walker. We are not elte so we frequent flea markets and thrift shops...
The lawyer walks out on our contract
Using uncooperative client response for his escape because my wife hollered at him? whats he do in court? walk
out?
Vincent Boneventura ESQ. works at Seve Bruccoleri firm in Philly who originally was the one at the hospital..YES
Hospital room and made me sign a contract and Power Of Attorney (which I relieve him of) right there in the hospital
room then again at a meeting in his office..then passed the case to his protache Mr. Boneventura who dropped me
in August after the 1st court apperence in May my wife was getting extremely upset at my attourney for not getting
me medical attention... (I ended up in a $25 a week pot habbit to take my mind off the situation and to give me some kind of appetite) and he sent a copy of my case and a letter saying to get a new attourney... I freaked at

Met Spivack & Spivack
Then afer a month or 2 , I went down to 165 lbs i weight. My daughter Patricia having seen a Spivack & Spivack

THERAPY - just hand exercise.

BOTTOM LINE:
Out there getting information... also they work on oil transport vehicles in their garage UNDER I-95..Along with housing deisel fuel inside a large tank inside te garage building and not under ground (also under I-95) I don't think they are zoned for that, or that it is even allowed, they were not zoned to have a bus co there either at the time of my incident they moved from Salmon to the corner property 2724 Somerset... they seem to be relocating or branching to Butler st and Wheatsheaf lane (by Atlantic Express bus co.) Tim & Tina Leader picked me and deb up for work and Nick (who caused my fall) was in the van and in front of my wife appologized and admitted to my fall saying he didn't think it was that bad because I got back in my seat and Tim & Deb both drivers told him he couldn't move his vehicle until everyone was seated..it's the law Nick,Tina and myself were all attendents My wife told him to make an incident report cause I was limping still from my knee. He said he wasn't supposed to be driving but was made to because they were firing Caroline. That was the day I let work know (Dave was out told Tim (owners nephew) Perneski, he picked me up wed morning took me to the Workmans Comp Doc in Frankford) Nick was driving due to lack of drivers he is at least 70 years old, and now I face surgery 2 ??.... Check all Daves records (never really kept them)... I provided over 1000 pictures of different occurances that I stated and a picture is worth a thousand words.. They also prove different than their allegations of a stumble.

Witnesses:Sue Zitomer and Tom Costello who I do a visit every Christmas eve and they have 2011 video taped and called my atty as character witnesses as I was in good shape that night, pictures are also available on my I was healthy link.
Ernest Marrero 267- 777- 0364
He turmed them in for shady work ethics and they fired him, Earnie knows all of this. (rents an apartment across the street from their office now (his old apt.), and works for Dependability bus co.) His niece Marge could probably use your help too, they really gave it to her good..Ernie said she has all her documentation. She was (residing at) rented the now "office" on Somerset street and they lied about her boyfriend threatened them and litterally kicked her out of her apartment and dismissed her in front of Deb and myself. Right before the holidays she was also an attendant on the Willow Grove run. His niece who was an attendant that I worked with and rode to work in the after noons Margaret Merreiro 1-267-444-3819 "who I said needed your service, I am correct," as I didn't see her after the holidays and she lived on the company premises, remember I mentioned my driver Caroline having 3 accidents thats why they put Nick on and made me his attendant? one of the accidents my wife witnessed the bus being bought in was a back hoe on 611 ripped across the side of one of the micro bird buses (small bus) # 60 or #61 Marge sustained an injury and they never took care of her she applied for unemployment and workmans comp and was denied she has your number but figured I'd give you hers she needs help, a lot of documentation and knows I was fine at Christmas. Speaking of. We had a flea market booth the owner wouldn't take Rent it was at Quaker City Flea Marketon state road, the owner who is available on Saturdays name is Chuck, 215 744-2022 He knew I was fine.. an employee named Mike McCarthy who son Mike and friend Richard helped us load and unload the set because I was still on a lifting restriction from my unbilical hernia surgey (in Sept 2007) BUT able to sit on trains, lay on floors,sleds play with pets, I was fine. Mike recently had the same surgery as me and is walking his dog already and ableto help us so what happened to me? his number is 215-426-4590 Mike McCarthy sr. so as you see I have not been slacking and Mikes surprised that the docs seeing me so soon he had to wait 2 months, will update you after Friday. Not to mention all my family, friends and neighbors who have helped out Deb and I since the accident, even the IME Investigator sided with me, and what of the bus on 95 last year that stalled out going off Alleghenys off ramp, Nicole Johnson was driving. She was rear ended and her attendent was medivacted out to the hospital... This company has a known record for bus failure ask sister Judith of Our Lady Of Confidence/St. Daves in Willow Grove she complained often of late or malfunctioning buses. I was forced to play 2nd attendant for Dan & Michelle's bus when the school was paying for 2 attendants and switched to my bus around the corner. yea thats the kind of company they run, they would rip off a nun....not to mention pictures all through my site and I stand beside them all...
and yes I am going to be dealing with the I.R.S. For keeping me off the books....I would of been able to collect had they run a correct business. But at least I claimed my income and filed jointly with my wife to prove I worked their although they are trying to deny it and paid taxes on it.......
sincerely,
Francis M. Pereira
