Workers’ Compensation Lawyers Protecting Local Employees
If you suffer a workplace accident in Lackawanna County, it’s best to speak with a Scranton workers’ compensation lawyer to learn your options. The workers’ comp insurance company often denies or delays your claim to avoid paying your medical bills and lost wages. Our attorneys help warehouse workers, healthcare employees, union members, and construction crews fight denied claims and unfair delays. Let us help you protect your income and access the necessary medical care.
Medical Malpractice and Hospital Negligence Representation
Scranton is home to some of the region’s largest hospitals and medical facilities, but it is not immune to incidents of medical negligence and errors. If you were hurt, suffered an illness, or lost a loved one due to a medical error or misdiagnosis, we can help. A medical malpractice injury lawyer will review the details and development of your situation at no charge. The Munley Law staff works with experienced doctors and experts to thoroughly examine and view medical records, treatment history, the timeline of events, and every detail of your narrative to determine liability.
Slip and Fall & Premises Liability Attorneys
Property owners, landlords, and business managers must keep their premises free of hazards that could injure visitors. When they fail in this duty, they endanger their visitors’ lives. Even simple slip and fall accidents can result in broken bones, head trauma, and internal bleeding. Our premises liability lawyers represent victims who suffered an accident at a place of business. From toxic exposure to slips and fall accidents, our professionals will ensure that the property owner is held responsible for not keeping their premises safe.
Defective Product Injury Claims
If you suffered injuries from a defective product, drug, vehicle, or medical device, our product liability attorneys can help ensure you receive fair compensation. Manufacturers and product designers are responsible for keeping consumers safe from harm with their products. But failing to do so could cause serious harm to the general public. Our defective product litigators have been helping victims with their claims to recover compensation following injuries with a dangerous product.

Frequently Asked Questions About Personal Injury
Do I Need a Personal Injury Lawyer?
You should contact a personal injury lawyer if you’ve suffered serious injuries due to someone else’s negligence. An attorney is valuable when facing substantial medical bills or lost wages, or when the insurance company pressures you to accept inadequate damages. This is especially important when your injuries significantly impact your daily life. A personal injury attorney will investigate your case, negotiate with insurers, represent you in court if needed, and manage legal matters while you focus on recovery.
How Much Does It Cost to Hire a Scranton Personal Injury Lawyer at Munley Law?
The answer is simple: We don’t get paid unless you do. Our personal injury law office does not charge or collect a fee for our services unless we win your case. When we achieve a satisfactory settlement or verdict for you, we simply take a percentage of it to cover our costs. You pay nothing upfront or out of your pocket. You owe us nothing if we cannot get you the justice you deserve.
How Long Do I Have to File a Personal Injury Lawsuit in Pennsylvania?
The amount of time you have to file a lawsuit – also known as the “statute of limitations” – is two years from the date of injury. However, it is in your best interest to speak with a lawyer as soon as possible – even if you are unsure whether you have a case.
How Long Will My Personal Injury Lawsuit Take?
It’s hard to give an average time to complete a personal injury lawsuit since each case is different. In many situations, a lawsuit could take only a few months. But if it’s more complex, it may take a year or two to complete.
Our personal injury lawyers will keep you updated with your case so you know what is happening at all times. Call today to schedule a free consultation.
Will My Personal Injury Case Settle or Go to Court?
A personal injury claim can be settled within a few months. However, if your case is more complex — such as multiple parties involved or your injuries are catastrophic — there may be a possibility that your case will go to trial. Munley Law prepares every case as if it will go to trial. We are experienced trial attorneys prepared to fight to get you the maximum amount for your case.
How Do I Know If I Have a Personal Injury Claim?
To win personal injury cases, you must prove these four elements:
- Duty of Care: The responsible party had an obligation to protect you from harm. Example: A business must keep visitors safe on its property.
- Breach of Duty: They failed to meet this obligation. Example: The business didn’t clear snow, leaving the sidewalks dangerously icy.
- Causation: This failure directly caused your injury. Example: A student slipped on the ice, fell, hit their head, and suffered a broken bone and concussion.
- Damages: You experienced actual losses, including medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and emotional distress.
