Do I Need an Injury Attorney for My Claim?

A significant accident or injury caused by someone’s negligence can leave you facing unexpected consequences. In addition to physical pain from your injuries, you may have astronomical medical bills. You may require long-term treatment and are unable to return to your job. You may be facing an uncertain future.

Dealing with the insurance company is never an easy process. Not only do you have to understand liability laws in Pennsylvania, but the insurance adjuster will do everything in their power to settle your claim with the least amount possible. In addition, the insurance company never considers any future expenses you may have, such as ongoing medical treatment or loss of earning capacity. Therefore, the only way to get the maximum amount of compensation you need to recover from your injury is by filing a lawsuit.

As the injured victim of a negligent act, you have the right to seek compensation for your suffering. The lawyers at Munley Law Attorneys can help you retrieve funds to cover your medical expenses, lost wages, therapy, and pain and suffering. Our attorneys will negotiate with the insurance companies on your behalf to get you the best settlement possible. If we cannot reach a compromise, we are not afraid to fight for you in court if your case goes to trial. Let us handle the phone calls, paperwork, and legal process so that you can recover with peace of mind.
