How quickly will I receive compensation?

There are a few ways through which one may receive compensation for an injury. The most immediate is through whatever settlement is offered by your insurance company or the responsible party’s insurance company. Often, this is much lower than you actually deserve and many attorneys will push that you never accept the first offer, even though you’ll receive the settlement in as early as a couple weeks. Next, you could try to get a higher amount from the offending party—negotiations for this may take up to several months. If they completely refuse to go higher, the next step is to file for a civil lawsuit. Although this is the best way for you to get the most money possible out of a case, this step can take years. Again, it’s all very dependent on your unique situation.

How Can a Stroudsburg Personal Injury Lawyer Help You?

Justice for the injured is our topmost priority. But what does that mean?

When you’ve been hurt by someone else’s negligence or carelessness, the long-term effects can upend your life. Even once the physical damage has healed, you may still be left with a substantial amount of medical bills, you may be unable to work for a long period of time, and your life may have changed forever. Don’t bear these burdens alone. Under Pennsylvania law, you have the right to seek compensation for the losses you incurred through no fault of your own. But, you’re unlikely to get more than the bare minimum without the help of a skilled personal injury lawyer.

A Stroudsburg personal injury lawyer can help you get reimbursed for:

Medical bills, past and future
Lost wages from missed time from work
Lost earning power
Altered quality of life
Pain and suffering
Loss of enjoyment of life
Loss of companionship
Funeral expenses

We will handle the paperwork, phone calls, and negotiation with the insurance company on your behalf. And, if a settlement cannot be reached, we will fight for you in court if your case goes to trial.

What is Personal Injury?

Personal injury litigation is an ever-expanding area of law. Many people are injured every day, whether they’re simply driving to work, visiting a neighbor, or shopping. Since there are so many ways a person may be hurt due to the negligence of another person, contact us even if you don’t see your specific case among our practice areas. This area of law is supposed to ensure that you receive a just settlement in the case that an accident wasn’t your fault and we believe at Munley Law Personal Injury Attorneys that it is of the utmost importance that you receive justice.

Unfortunately, personal injury cases can be much more complicated than they seem on the surface. For one, it’s our burden to determine responsibility, and it can take a whole team of investigators to get to the bottom of that. For one, which party appears to be most at fault in an accident? If someone ran a red light and crashed into you, then the answer can seem pretty obvious until you dig deeper. Why did the person run the red light? Were they in a rush to get to work or did their brakes give out? In the first scenario, our trail ends there, and we can argue that the person who ran the red light was at fault. In the second scenario, there are even more avenues to explore. Just like in any case, the fault in the accident isn’t completely black and white.

Pennsylvania law enforces comparative and contributory fault in accidents, which simply means that fault can be assigned in percentages and whoever has more fault will be asked to cover up to their percentage of the damages requested. So in a settlement worth $10,000, a driver who was 60 percent at fault would only pay $6,000 to the party or parties with the remaining 40 percent. This means that even if you were partially at fault for your accident, seeking a knowledgeable attorney can still result in compensation for you.

What Types of Personal Injury Cases?

Car Accidents

Stroudsburg lies in the center of one of the busiest sections of I-80 in Pennsylvania. With so much traffic racing through the I-80 corridor, it’s not surprising that car and truck accidents occur regularly, often involving tractor trailers. Speed plays a major role in many of these crashes, despite any efforts to slow down traffic with lower speed limits. After a car accident, you have to deal with not only the loss of property but unexpected medical expenses and time away from work, plus the aggravation of having to deal with the insurance company to make sure your bills are paid.

If you and your family need help to get the compensation you need from the insurance company, rely on the expertise of an experienced Stroudsburg car accident lawyer at Munley Law Personal Injury Attorneys. We represent victims of car, truck, bicycle, bus, train, motorcycle, and pedestrian accidents in Stroudsburg, East Stroudsburg, Blakesley, and throughout Monroe County.

Frequently Asked Questions About Personal Injuries

Q: How Much is My Personal Injury Claim Worth?

A: In a personal injury case, there are two different types of damages you may try to receive: compensatory and punitive. Compensatory damages may include the cost of your medical bills, the cost of the replacement or repair of property, any money you would’ve earned at work during your injury leave, and money for the loss of future wages if you were injured badly enough not to be able to return to work. Compensatory damages may also include an amount for your emotional distress or loss of companionship, in the case that a loved one died.

Punitive damages are a monetary reward to the victim that doubles as a punishment to the defendant and may be used in cases where a corporation designed or manufactured a defective product.

When Can I Expect to Receive Compensation From My Claim?

A: There are a few ways through which one may receive compensation for an injury. The most immediate is through whatever settlement is offered by your insurance company and/or the responsible party’s insurance company. Often, this is much lower than you actually deserve. Even though you could receive your settlement check in as little as a couple of weeks, it may not pay any future expenses you may have. We strongly suggest not accepting a settlement offer until you speak with a personal injury attorney.

You could try to get a higher settlement amount from the offending party, but be aware that this can be time-consuming. Negotiations may take up to several months. If the insurance company completely refuses to go higher, the next step is to file a personal injury lawsuit. Although this is the best way for you to get the most money possible out of a case, this step can take years. Again, it’s all very dependent on your unique situation.

How Often Do Accidents Occur in Stroudsburg?

The population of Monroe County totaled 166,397 as of 2015 reports, which was just over one percent of the Pennsylvanian population. Despite this, two percent of all the car crashes in Pennsylvania can be linked to Monroe County and nearly three percent of all fatal crashes in Pennsylvania occurred in Monroe County. The reason for this may be that many of Monroe County’s roads a rural. Another reason may be that the bigger roads, like the highway, are constantly under construction. Another reason may simply be an abundance of reckless drivers: those who speed, or drink before driving, or think their phone is more important than the road.

As car accidents are the leading cause of injury and death by injury in America, these are the cases we most often see. However, by no means does that make car accident litigation our only area of practice.

In 2014, the most hospitalizations in Monroe county were attributed to injuries received when someone fell. Premises liability ensures that if you fall on someone’s property due to a fault on that property—uneven floors, wet floors without a sign, or something startling like a dog or decoration jumping out—you can receive compensation for any monetary or emotional losses you received because of the accident. One company in Stroudsburg made it onto Pocono Record’s 10 most dangerous workplaces in 2012: Fabricated Components Inc. with an injury rate of 5.1 workers for every 100. Often, when workers are hurt on the job, they’ll seek out workers’ compensation. When this is not enough, an employer refuses to offer it, or the injury was caused through malicious intent, hiring a personal injury lawyer can make up the difference in compensation.

These are just a couple of the ways a person can become injured in Stroudsburg, and the legal assistance of a Stroudsburg personal injury attorney from Munley Law Personal Injury Attorneys can make all the difference in how well the aftermath goes.

How Can You Prove Who is At Fault for an Accident?

There are four elements to any personal injury claim:

Duty of Care: You will first need to show that the at-fault party had a responsibility to keep you from harm. This is called duty of care. For example, every driver on the road has a duty to make sure they follow the rules of the road so they do not put anyone else in harm’s way.

Breach of Duty: When the individual is negligent in their duty of care, they are in breach and can cause an accident. A popular example is a medical malpractice claim. A doctor misdiagnoses a patient and does not follow proper procedures to protect the patient’s health. The doctor is in breach of their duty of care.

Causation: Because a breach of duty occurred, you were injured as a result.

Damages: Finally, the accident resulted in damages. In a personal injury case, this refers to medical bills, property damage, pain and suffering, and much more.
