Most Archbald residents commute to jobs in Scranton, Carbondale, or elsewhere in Lackawanna County. When a workplace injury happens, wherever the job site is, Pennsylvania’s workers’ compensation system provides benefits for medical treatment and lost wages without requiring you to prove fault. But the process of actually securing those benefits is often more difficult than it should be.
Munley Law’s Scranton office represents injured workers in Archbald and throughout Lackawanna County. We handle workers’ comp cases on a contingency fee basis — you pay nothing unless we recover compensation for you.
Workers’ Compensation Benefits in Lackawanna County
Pennsylvania workers’ comp pays for all reasonable and necessary medical treatment related to your work injury, including doctors, specialists, physical therapy, and surgery. It also provides wage replacement — generally two-thirds of your average weekly wage up to a state maximum — if you are unable to work while recovering. Permanent impairment may entitle you to additional specific loss benefits.
Your employer’s insurance carrier will handle the claim from the employer’s side. That insurer has adjusters whose goal is to limit what the company pays. Having your own representation, at no upfront cost, levels the playing field.

Denied claims. Insurers may argue your injury was not work-related, that you had a pre-existing condition, or that you failed to report the injury promptly enough. We challenge those denials.
Return-to-work pressure. Insurers frequently push injured workers back to modified duty before they are medically ready. We protect your right to benefits during your recovery.
Independent medical examinations. Insurance companies schedule their own medical exams, and the results often understate injury severity. We help you respond to and challenge adverse findings.
Third-party liability. If a defective machine, a contractor’s mistake, or a vehicle accident during work caused your injury, you may have a personal injury claim in addition to workers’ comp. We evaluate both avenues.
