PNC Financial and Zurich Insurance Made a Huge Difference In One Child’s Life. Commissioner Joseph Hoeffel Is Still Sleeping On It

July 8, 2008 by pncnews

PHILADELPHIA-(PNC NEWS)–The Bucks County Commissioners office and the Lower Bucks County Chamber of Commerce sponsored Lilia Odhner’s daughter in her attendance of the Youth Leadership Camp on June 24-26, 2008.

Would they sponsor her if they knew that the high school student was a homeless child?

The girl’s mother, Lilia Odhner, has been disabled after a brain trauma two years ago. She worked for PNC Bank in Doylestown and was injured at work. PNC Bank and Zurich Insurance Company denied her Workers’ compensation insurance payments. The Lower Bucks County Workers’ Compensation Judge Michael Rosen sided with PNC Bank and the Zurich Insurance Company and denied Lilia Odhner Workers’ Compensation insurance payments. Doing so, Judge Rosen refused Lilia and her attorney, Patrick Donan, to view a bank branch surveillance videotape with the recording of the circumstances of her brain injury.

Being severely disabled by brain damage, Lilia has lost her ability to produce income and sustain herself and her daughter. They have been homeless since November 2007. Lilia has been told that there are many programs addressing homelessness in Pennsylvania and Bucks County. However, she has difficulty gaining access to benefits and services from these programs. After two years, she still doesn’t have a social worker to coordinate her efforts to find an affordable accommodation. The main barrier to using homeless assistance programs is her disability, as she came to understand. Administratively, mainstream programs are categorically organized with funding systems that are unable to respond to her needs, which are the needs of a disabled single parent family.

Listed below are some of the federal, State and County programs Lilia Odhner has contacted during the fall of 2007 and just recently. Apparently 100% of the existing programs are focused on working adults. There is virtually no programs or funds designed to address the permanent homelessness of a disabled mother and a child.

Lilia Odhner vs. PNC Bank, Zurich Insurance Company:

In 2006 Pittsburgh based PNC Bank’s Doylestown branch employee Lilia Odhner was injured inside the branch. She suffered a traumatic brain injury that left her permanently disabled. Her employment was terminated by PNC Bank after 90 days of Lilia’s disability for allegedly “abandoning her work.” Her full and permanent disability was confirmed by a Federal Judge in her Social Security Disability decision in November 2007. Her disability Workman’s Compensation insurance coverage was denied by PNC Bank and Zurich American, a unit of Swiss insurance giant Zurich Financial Services. PNC Bank and Zurich Insurance Company refuse to surrender the surveillance videotape with the footage of Lilia’s injury to the court despite of Lilia’s Workers’ Compensation attorney Patrick Donan requests to the Workman’s Compensation Judge Michael Rosen and to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Department of Labor & Industry Workers’ Compensation Appeal Board presiding by the Montgomery County Commissioner Joseph Hoeffel. Lilia Odhner and her fifteen year old daughter are currently homeless and depend on their friends to survive.
