Personal Injury Attorneys Giving Back to the Community
There is no better time than the present to give back to the community. The personal injury attorneys at Anapol Schwartz have joined many other plaintiffs’ law firms in Pennsylvania in helping those in need beyond the courtroom. The Legal Intelligencer discusses the Anapol Schwartz Foundation, which was created by the Anapol Schwartz personal injury law firm in 2008. The Foundation operates under the mantra that the firm’s cases become their causes in that it provides grants to organizations that pertain to the types of injuries the firm’s clients have suffered. A portion of the firm’s case winnings are granted to nonprofit organizations that assist victims and their families in addition to funding research and programs focused on progressive health and safety.
The goal of the Anapol Schwartz Foundation is to provide help and resources to individuals who have endured devastating injuries but did not have cases or legal assistance. So far, the Foundation has provided over $200,000 to local organizations and 501(c)(3) public charities, including Mothers Against Drunk Driving, Northern Home for Children, Susan G. Komen for the Cure Philadelphia, the Make-A-Wish Foundation, the Caren Sydnor Locomotor Training Fund, the Burn Foundation and the Nathan Speare Regional Burn Treatment Center at Crozer-Chester Medical Center.
The Anapol Schwartz Foundation plans to continue its efforts in helping members of the community find ways to get back on their feet after experiencing significant losses of their own from their injuries. The Foundation also hopes to eventually fund programs and grant scholarships to individuals with spinal and brain injuries who would like to go back to school for nursing, physical therapy or occupational therapy education.
