Caroline Munley is the Managing Partner of Munley Law Personal Injury Attorneys and is certified as a specialist in the practice of workers’ compensation law by the Pennsylvania Bar Association’s Section on Workers’ Compensation Law, as authorized by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court — a credential held by only 155 attorneys statewide as of March 2025. Caroline represents people seriously injured in truck accidents, car accidents, workplace injuries, and medical negligence cases throughout Pennsylvania.
To earn this certification, Caroline was required to have practiced law for at least five years, devote at least 50 percent of her practice to workers’ compensation law, and pass a rigorous examination — a credential that must be renewed and can be revoked for noncompliance. While Pennsylvania’s workers’ compensation system provides fixed statutory benefits, Caroline also pursues third-party liability claims against negligent drivers, contractors, or equipment manufacturers, for example, where additional compensation may be available beyond the workers’ compensation schedule. Her settlements and verdicts, including her multi-million-dollar case results, reflect this combined approach.
Caroline has been recognized nationally for her work on behalf of injured clients. She has been listed among The Best Lawyers in America since 2018 for Personal Injury Litigation-Plaintiffs and Workers’ Compensation Law-Claimants, named a Pennsylvania Super Lawyer since 2022, and on the Top 50 Pennsylvania Women Super Lawyers list in 2026, and among the Top 25 Women Trial Lawyers in PA, the Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum, and the Top 25 Medical Malpractice Trial Lawyers in Pennsylvania.
Caroline’s father, the late Robert W. Munley, instilled her commitment to fighting for justice for all and inspired Caroline to become a lawyer. In addition to her major car and truck accident case victories, Caroline works tirelessly to better the local communities of northeast Pennsylvania. She serves as the chair of the Board of Trustees for the Everhart Museum in Scranton, Pennsylvania, and is an active board member for the Women’s Resource Center of Northeastern Pennsylvania. She is also a frequent contributor to the Scranton Times-Tribune on issues of community safety. Caroline and her husband Edward Mullin are proud parents of two daughters.
