A car crash in Bloomsburg disrupted your life. Here’s how Munley Law Personal Injury Attorneys can help.

Nearly everyone is involved in a car wreck at least once in their lives. Some of the most common causes of car crashes include:

• Distracted Driving
• Drowsy Driving
• Drunk Driving
• Speeding and Aggressive Driving
• Poor Weather Conditions

Running straight through Bloomsburg, I-80 is one of the most dangerous roads in Pennsylvania when it comes to car crashes, truck accidents, and multi-vehicle pileups. If another person’s negligence or reckless behavior caused you to get hurt, that person (and their insurance company) should be held responsible. Of course, getting the full and proper amount of compensation isn’t always so simple. That’s where an experienced personal injury lawyer can help you.

Car accident injuries can be catastrophic and can have long-term impacts that negatively affect you and your family.  Physical and emotional pain and suffering may lead to job loss, future medical bills, and financial strain. The right lawyer can fight on your behalf to make sure you receive just compensation for these losses you’ve incurred through no fault of your own.

At Munley Law Personal Injury Attorneys, we help car accident victims file personal injury  lawsuits to recover compensation for:

• Medical bills
• Rehabilitation and physical therapy
• Long-term care
• Lost wages
• Lost earning capacity
• Pain and suffering

In the event of a fatal crash, we will aggressively pursue a wrongful death claim on behalf of your loved one to provide future security for your family. We handle cases involving truck crashes, bus accidents, pedestrian accidents, motorcycle and bicycle crashes throughout Bloomsburg, Berwick, and Columbia County.

The legal process, including dealing with insurance companies, can be challenging. Our experienced car accident attorneys can take the burden off your shoulders. Our car accident lawyers and experienced legal staff will answer your questions, explain the legal options in your unique situation, and deal with the insurance company for you.

If you or a loved one has been injured in a car accident, never accept any offer from an insurance company.  Instead, make sure you speak with an experienced car accident lawyer like those at Munley Law Personal Injury Attorneys. Our lawyers will protect your rights and fight to win you the highest possible compensation.

Bloomsburg Car Accident: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: Do I need a lawyer?

A: It depends.  In some cases, particularly if the accident was minor and you suffered no physical injuries, car insurance will cover the damages and you won’t need a lawyer. However, if you’re hurt, it can be difficult to get compensated for treatment, therapy, time missed from work, and more. Statistically, people represented by lawyers get three times more settlement money than people who attempt to do it themselves. So, having legal representation can improve the outcome of your claim if you’re hurt. If you’re unsure whether or not you need a lawyer, give us a call. There’s no charge for the initial consult, and we can help you determine next steps.

Q: How much does it cost to hire a car accident lawyer?

A: At Munley Law Personal Injury Attorneys, we only collect a fee (a standard percentage of the settlement or verdict) if we win your case. This way, anyone can afford the best possible legal representation, and cost won’t prevent you from getting the justice you deserve.

Q: What can I get reimbursed for after a car crash?

A: If you’ve been hurt in a car crash, you may be compensated for:

• Medical bills
• Time missed from work
• Pain and suffering
• Diminished quality of life
• Lost earning power

Q: What should I do in the days following my wreck?

A: After a car accident, remember to:

• Request a copy of the police report. Here’s how.
• Get a quote for the property damage from your insurance company
• Keep a record of all medical appointments, prescriptions, diagnoses, test results, treatment, and any pain you experience.
• Keep track of all expenses related to your accident
• Note any time you were forced to miss from work
• Never accept a settlement offer from an insurance carrier unless you have consulted with a lawyer

Q: What is the difference between full and limited tort?

A: The tort option on your auto insurance policy determines your ability to sue the at-fault party after a car accident. If you have full tort, you may file a legal claim regardless of the severity of your injuries. Limited tort, on the other hand, limits your right to sue. If you have limited tort, you may only sue the at-fault party for the cost of your medical bills, but not for pain and suffering (pain and suffering often make up the bulk of a personal injury case). However, there are some exceptions:

• If you are hit by a drunk driver
• If you are a pedestrian who was hit by a vehicle
• If the defendant‘s vehicle is registered out of state
• If you were riding in a commercial vehicle
• If you were riding with a resident relative or spouse who has full tort and you were injured as a passenger in their vehicle
• If your accident resulted in death, permanent severe impairment of a bodily function, or disfigurement

Under the above circumstances, you would effectively “breach” limited tort and enjoy the benefits of full tort.
