What Types of Personal Injury Cases Does Munley Law Handle?
The cases our local injury lawyers handle regularly include:
Car Accidents
Our car accident lawyers represent victims injured in crashes throughout the Lehigh Valley’s most dangerous routes. According to the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT), Lehigh County reported 30 fatal injury accidents, 2,282 injury crashes, and 2,361 property damage-only accidents in 2024 (these figures encompass all types of vehicles). Passenger cars were involved in 37.7% of accidents in Pennsylvania that year. We manage all types of accidents. This includes high-speed crashes on Route 22 near Airport Road and MacArthur Road. We also handle complex multi-vehicle accidents on I-78, the Pennsylvania Turnpike, and US 22.
Truck Accident Cases
Lehigh County’s position as a central logistics hub means our city sees constant truck traffic. PennDOT reports that 98,529 light trucks, vans, and SUVs, as well as 7,312 heavy trucks, were involved in accidents in the state in 2024. Munley Law is the only firm in Pennsylvania with three board-certified truck accident lawyers. Our Allentown truck accident lawyers frequently handle collisions involving tractor-trailers from Amazon fulfillment centers, manufacturing plants, and distribution centers. We are familiar with the local trucking regulations, shipping routes, and delivery times. This knowledge has enabled us to secure millions for truck accident victims.
Workers’ Compensation Claims
Insurance companies often delay or deny valid claims for workplace injuries. Our Allentown workers’ compensation lawyers understand how denials leave injured workers struggling to pay medical bills and lost wages. Our attorneys, like certified workers’ compensation specialist Caroline Munley, help our clients get the benefits they deserve. This includes support for stress injuries in offices and serious accidents in factories.
Medical Malpractice
Patients need skilled representation when medical errors occur at Lehigh Valley’s healthcare facilities. According to the Pennsylvania Coalition for Civil Justice Reform, 616 medical liability cases were filed in the state in 2024, averaging 51 cases per month. Our medical malpractice lawyers investigate cases at local hospitals, surgical centers, and medical practices throughout the area. We collaborate with medical experts to review your records and identify any deviations from the standard of care. Our team handles surgical errors, misdiagnoses, medication mistakes, and birth injuries, fighting to hold healthcare providers accountable. Best Lawyers named Marion Munley Lawyer of the Year for Medical Malpractice Law.
Premises Liability Claims
Property owners across the Lehigh Valley have a duty to maintain safe conditions for visitors. When accidents happen at local shopping centers, office buildings, or apartment complexes, our Allentown premises liability attorneys step in. We investigate dangerous conditions, gather security footage, and hold property owners accountable. Our team has handled cases from icy sidewalks at Hamilton Street businesses to unsafe conditions at Valley industrial sites.
Product Liability
When defective products harm consumers in the Lehigh Valley, our product liability lawyers take action. We handle cases involving dangerous household products, faulty industrial equipment, and defective vehicle components. Our team investigates design flaws, manufacturing defects, and inadequate warnings, working with engineering experts to prove liability. From local manufacturing defects to national product recalls, we hold companies accountable for putting profits over safety. Our work in this area is widely recognized. Best Lawyers named Marion and Daniel Munley as Lawyer of the Year for Product Liability Litigation.
Wrongful Death
The loss of a loved one is never easy, especially if it happens unexpectedly. When a loved one dies because of negligence, you can file a wrongful death claim. This is a lawsuit against those responsible. Our Allentown wrongful death lawyer understands the challenges faced by accident victims. We will ensure that your family receives the proper compensation.

We conduct thorough investigations examining staffing patterns and reviewing facility records to identify how care standards were compromised. Our legal team collaborates with medical experts to demonstrate how substandard practices contribute to residents’ injuries. We are familiar with the rules governing long-term care in Pennsylvania. We can utilize state and federal requirements to enhance our liability claims.

What Compensation is Available for a Personal Injury Lawsuit?
The potential compensation that you may receive in a personal injury lawsuit differs from case to case. Depending on the complexity of your case, you may receive the following compensation:
- Medical Expenses: This includes emergency services, hospital stays, surgeries, medication, and physical therapy. It also covers other long-term healthcare needs that arise from the event.
- Lost Wages: If the accident causes the victim to miss work, they may be compensated for the wages they lost while recovering from the injury. It can also include loss of earning ability. This occurs if the person is unable to earn a living in the future as a result of the accident.
- Rehabilitation Costs: The victim may be eligible to receive compensation for physical therapy, occupational therapy, and other necessary rehabilitation services to support their recovery.
- Funeral Costs: If someone dies in an accident, the compensation can help cover the costs of the funeral and burial. It can also cover other expenses related to the person’s death.
- Pain and Suffering: This type of harm helps pay the victim for the physical pain and mental distress they felt because of the accident. Compensating for ongoing discomfort, anxiety, stress, and the overall impact on one’s quality of life may be included.
- Loss of Enjoyment: If your injuries prevent you from doing everyday activities, you may receive compensation. This compensation is for the loss of enjoyment of life.
- Loss of Consortium: If the accident affected your relationship with your partner, you may be eligible for this compensation.
After an accident, it’s essential to talk with an attorney at Munley Law. We can help you understand the types and amounts of compensation for which you may be eligible.

Frequently Asked Questions
How Much Is My Personal Injury Claim Worth?
It’s hard to determine how much your personal injury claim is worth without knowing the facts of your case. Each case is unique and comes with its own set of challenges. To figure out how much your case is worth, you will need to take into account the following factors:
- The severity of your injuries and how those injuries impacted your life
- The total cost of your treatment
- Whether you had any responsibility for the accident
- Whether you will be going to trial
It’s important to note that Pennsylvania follows the comparative negligence rule (42 Pa. Code § 7102). This means you can recover damages for your injury if you are less than 51 percent at fault for the accident. If you are found partially at fault, the amount of compensation you receive could decrease. For example, in a $100,000 verdict, if you are found to be 10 percent at fault for your car accident, you might get $90,000.
How Much Does It Cost to Hire a Personal Injury Attorney?
You pay nothing up front. Our personal injury attorneys work on a contingency fee basis. This means we only get paid if we win your case. That means you can access top-tier legal representation, no matter your financial situation.
Should I Accept the Insurance Company’s Settlement Offer?
Insurance companies often make quick, low settlement offers to accident victims. They hope to settle cases before the full extent of injuries is known. Never accept an offer without speaking to an attorney. Our lawyers often get settlements that are two to three times higher than the first offers. They do this by valuing your case correctly and negotiating strongly.
How Long Do I Have to File a Personal Injury Lawsuit?
Most personal injury cases have a two-year statute of limitations (42 Pa. C.S. § 5524). However, specific claims, like those against government entities, may have shorter deadlines. Contact us as soon as possible so we can protect your rights and begin building your case.
How Long Does a Personal Injury Case Take to Settle?
Every case is unique, making it challenging to predict the settlement timeframe. While some cases settle relatively quickly, others may take months or even years to resolve. Based on your situation, we’ll explain what to expect and keep you informed immediately.
