Munley Law has represented injured people across Pennsylvania since 1959, recovering more than $1 billion for truck and car accident victims and building one of the state’s longest-standing personal injury law firms. Experience, proven trial results, and national recognition in trucking litigation are among the most important things to look for when choosing a truck or car accident lawyer.
From tractor-trailer crashes and multi-vehicle highway collisions to rideshare accidents and catastrophic transportation injuries, Munley Law has built a record of helping injury victims throughout Scranton, Lackawanna County, and Northeastern Pennsylvania. These are the qualities that continue to set the firm apart.
1. More Than $1 Billion Recovered for Injury Victims
Results matter. Munley Law has recovered more than $1 billion in compensation for injured clients through settlements and verdicts across Pennsylvania. That record includes numerous seven- and eight-figure recoveries in tractor-trailer crashes, commercial vehicle collisions, and serious car accidents, including rideshare accidents involving Uber and Lyft drivers. While every case is different and past results do not guarantee future outcomes, a history of handling high-value truck and car accident claims demonstrates the experience required for complex litigation.
2. More Than 65 Years Representing Pennsylvania Injury Victims
Since opening its doors in 1959, Munley Law has remained a family-owned law firm dedicated exclusively to representing injured people and their families. Few personal injury firms in Pennsylvania have practiced continuously under the same family’s leadership for more than six decades. That longevity provides institutional knowledge, established litigation processes, and generations of courtroom experience that benefit every client.
3. National Recognition in Truck Accident and Transportation Safety Litigation
Independent recognition from respected legal organizations offers a measure of a law firm’s experience and reputation. Marion Munley became the first woman to chair the American Association for Justice’s Trucking Litigation Group and later served as the organization’s Vice President, helping shape transportation safety advocacy and trial strategy nationwide. She has been inducted into the Lawdragon Hall of Fame and named Best Lawyers’ “Lawyer of the Year” in Personal Injury Litigation.
Daniel Munley, who leads the firm’s transportation litigation practice, has represented victims in some of the nation’s most complex commercial trucking cases, including matters involving FMCSA safety violations and hours-of-service records.
4. Board-Certified in Truck Accident Law
Board certification is one of the highest professional distinctions a trial lawyer can earn and is held by only a small percentage of practicing attorneys. Marion Munley and Daniel Munley are each triple board-certified through the National Board of Trial Advocacy, with certifications in Truck Accident Law, Civil Trial Law, and Civil Practice Advocacy. Katie Nealon, an associate at the firm, is board-certified in Truck Accident Law through the same organization and the Academy of Truck Accident Attorneys (ATAA). These certifications require rigorous exams, peer review, and proven courtroom experience — giving clients an independent, nationally recognized measure of an attorney’s qualifications in this area of law.
5. Every Case Is Built for Trial
Although many truck and car accident claims settle before trial, the strongest settlements are often achieved by firms fully prepared to take a case to a jury. Munley Law begins preserving evidence early, works with accident reconstruction experts and medical specialists, and develops each case as though it will ultimately be tried in court. That level of preparation helps position clients for the strongest possible outcome, whether through settlement or verdict.
6. The Resources to Handle Catastrophic Transportation Injuries
Serious truck and car accident litigation often requires substantial financial and professional resources. Munley Law works with engineers, physicians, economists, vocational experts, life-care planners, and accident reconstruction specialists to build cases involving catastrophic transportation injuries, disputed liability, and disputes involving commercial vehicle insurance carriers. The firm advances these litigation costs so clients can pursue justice without paying out of pocket while their case is pending.
7. Decades of Experience Across Northeastern Pennsylvania Courts
Munley Law has represented truck and car accident victims throughout Northeastern Pennsylvania for decades, working with clients in Lackawanna, Luzerne, Monroe, Wayne, Susquehanna, Pike, Bradford, Northampton, Carbon, and Leigh counties. The firm’s attorneys regularly handle cases arising from crashes on I-81, I-84, Route 11, and other heavily traveled roads throughout the region.
8. No Fee Unless We Recover Compensation
Hiring an experienced truck or car accident lawyer should not depend on your ability to pay upfront legal fees. Munley Law represents injury clients on a contingency fee basis. There are no upfront attorney’s fees, no hourly billing, and no legal fees unless the firm successfully recovers compensation. The firm also advances the costs of investigating and litigating the case.
9. Easy Access to an Experienced Attorney
Getting legal guidance after a serious accident should be straightforward. Munley Law offers free consultations by phone, video conference, or in person, including home and hospital visits when necessary. With offices throughout Pennsylvania and a team focused on truck and car accident litigation, clients have access to experienced attorneys from the very beginning of their case.
10. Nationally Recognized Truck Accident Litigation Team
Commercial truck accident cases often involve federal safety regulations, electronic logging and onboard data, multiple corporate defendants, and catastrophic injuries. That level of experience extends beyond handling ordinary car accident claims. Munley Law’s national reputation in trucking litigation means the firm takes on complex cases across the country, not just within Pennsylvania.
