Where Do Most Pedestrian Accidents Occur in Philadelphia, PA?

What Does Duty of Care Mean in a Premises Liability Claim in Hazleton?

If you’re considering taking legal action after being injured on someone else’s property, you might be unsure about what duty of care means in a premises liability claim in Hazleton. A duty of care is essentially a legal duty that requires a person to exhibit reasonable care and avoid negligence or carelessness that could result in causing harm to others. The duty of care is present in many different situations.

For instance, a doctor has a duty of care to their patient. Every medical professional must uphold a standard of care and behave in a way that other physicians would deem reasonable. All drivers have a duty of care to other drivers: they must drive safely, exhibit reasonable care, and refrain from any behavior that could cause a car accident or injury.

In a premises liability claim, the term refers primarily to property owners. All property owners owe a duty of care to all those who legally enter their property, […]

Electrocution Deaths in the Workplace

Electrocution is one of the leading causes of death on American job sites. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration identifies electrocution as one of construction’s “Fatal Four” hazards, a category of accidents that together account for more than half of all construction worker deaths each year. But electrocution does not only kill construction workers. Electricians, utility linemen, maintenance technicians, agricultural workers, and factory employees all face this risk every time they work near exposed wiring, overhead power lines, or electrical equipment that has not been properly maintained or de-energized.

When a Pennsylvania worker dies from electrocution on the job, the family is left navigating grief and financial uncertainty at the same time. Pennsylvania’s workers’ compensation system provides death benefits to surviving dependents, but the process is not automatic and the details matter. A third-party claim may also be available depending on what caused the accident. Understanding both paths early gives families more options and more time. […]

Injured worker in Scranton, PAIf you work at the Amazon fulfillment center in Jessup or another warehouse in Lackawanna County, your job puts real physical demands on your body every single shift.

Pittsburgh Temp Workers’ Comp at Warehouses and Construction Sites: When the Staffing Agency and Host Employer Are Both Liable

If you were injured while working a temporary assignment at a Pittsburgh warehouse or construction site, you may be unsure who is responsible for your medical bills and lost wages—the staffing agency that placed you, the company where you were actually working, or both. The answer depends on a body of Pennsylvania law that governs the relationship between staffing agencies, host employers, and the workers they share.

The Pittsburgh workers’ compensation attorneys at Munley Law understand how these dual-employment arrangements are evaluated under Pennsylvania law and how liability is determined when something goes wrong.

Where Temp Workers Are Getting Hurt in the Pittsburgh Region

Chemical Exposure at CenterPoint Commerce Park and Wyoming Valley Warehouses in Wilkes-Barre

Chemical exposure at CenterPoint Commerce Park and Wyoming Valley warehouses in Wilkes-Barre can leave a worker with more than a standard workers’ compensation claim. In Luzerne County, warehouse and distribution work is heavily concentrated around CenterPoint Commerce and Trade Park, which sits in Jenkins Township and Pittston Township near Interstates 81 and 476, with quick access to Route 315 and the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International Airport.

The local economy reflects that concentration. Major employers in the area include Amazon.com Services LLC, Chewy Inc., TJ Maxx Distribution Center, Lowe’s Home Centers LLC and Home Depot USA Inc., all of which show how central logistics and fulfillment work have become in the Wyoming Valley.

That local setup matters because occupational illness cases in this market often involve more than one company. A worker may report to one employer, work inside a facility owned by another entity, handle chemicals supplied by a third company and use equipment maintained by an outside contractor. […]

Workers’ Compensation and Personal Injury Rights for Undocumented Workers in the Lehigh Valley

Can Undocumented Workers File a Personal Injury Claim in the Lehigh Valley?

Warehouse and Logistics Injuries in the Humboldt Industrial Park: Workers’ Comp and Third-Party Claims in Luzerne County

Warehouse workers in an Hazleton distribution center carefully handle packages on a conveyor beltThousands of workers clock in every day at the Humboldt Industrial Park, one of the largest industrial complexes in Pennsylvania. The distribution centers and logistics operations along Route 924 keep goods moving across the Northeast,  but they also expose Luzerne County workers to some of the most hazardous conditions in any industry.

When a serious injury occurs on a warehouse floor, knowing your legal rights from the start matters. Workers’ compensation covers most on-the-job injuries at Humboldt — but it is not always the only remedy. Depending on how the injury occurred, a separate third-party claim may entitle you to damages that workers’ comp will never pay.

If you were injured while working at the Humboldt Industrial Park or elsewhere in Luzerne County, contact our Luzerne County workers’ compensation lawyers in Hazleton at Munley Law Personal Injury Attorneys. Call (570) 536-9498 for a free consultation. […]
