How A Personal Injury Attorney Can Help With Your Case

As the injured victim, you may be able to bring a lawsuit against the negligent party to obtain maximum compensation for your injury. Unfortunately, you will likely face legal hurdles without a personal injury lawyer. Many victims of car crashes, truck accidents, work accidents, and defective products never get the total compensation they are entitled to when handling the claim independently.

The legal process can be confusing, and the insurance companies profit by settling for as little as possible. As an injury victim, you may be concerned about paying your current medical bills, especially if you’re missing a lot of time from work. So, a quick settlement from the insurance company can solve that problem instantly. But what about any future expenses? Will that settlement cover loss of earning potential or property damage?

At Munley Law, we can work to make sure you recover all your damages. A personal injury lawyer can not only protect your rights and get you the compensation you deserve but we can:

• Discover who is at fault for your injury: Many serious accidents involve multiple parties who can be held responsible for your accident. For example, not only can you hold a truck driver responsible for your injuries, but you may also hold the trucking company or a third-party carrier responsible. The more parties involved in the accident, the more complex a claim can be.
• Estimate your claim worth: The initial settlement you receive from the insurance company generally does not cover all your expenses following an accident. That’s because the adjuster is trying to settle your claim with the least amount of money the insurance company is willing to pay.
• Negotiate with the insurance company: The insurance company will do whatever it can not to pay the full amount. You’ll need a strong negotiating team to help you with a settlement.
• Represent you in court: If a settlement cannot be reached, you’ll need an aggressive trial team. All our trial attorneys have experience in the courtroom and will fight on your behalf.

Common Personal Injury Claims That Munley Law Handles

Our law firm focuses solely on personal injury litigation. We’ve done so for over six decades and have helped develop many trial techniques and liability theories that are still used by many lawyers around the country today.

Here are a few examples of the personal injury case types we handle regularly:

Truck Accidents

The truck accident attorneys at Munley Law have a nationwide reputation as the leaders of truck accident litigation. We represent motorists, passengers, pedestrians, and truckers who suffer severe, life-altering injuries in a truck or tractor-trailer crash. We are not afraid to go after the truck company, its insurance, and any third parties who may have been involved in the accident.

Truck accidents can be extremely complex, and they need to be handled by a team that has the experience and resources available to confront those responsible. Just check out our winning record—the National Law Journal recognized both Marion Munley and Dan Munley for having the second-highest settlement in Pennsylvania and 25th-highest in the nation in 2015 for a truck accident settlement.

Car Accidents

Even a minor car accident can result in severe injuries and enormous expenses for everyone involved. And with the difficulties of the insurance claim process, you may not know your rights and the next steps needed to get compensation for your injuries. The insurance company will do whatever it can to get you to agree to a far lower settlement than you deserve. That’s why speaking with a car accident lawyer at Munley Law is important to learn your options.

Whether you are a driver, rideshare passenger, bicyclist, motorcyclist, or pedestrian, our car accident lawyers will handle the insurance company as you concentrate on the healing process.

Workers’ Compensation Claims

You are legally entitled to workers’ compensation if you are injured while on the job. Workers’ comp is meant to pay for your medical bills and lost wages following the accident. However, many employers don’t understand or choose not to cooperate after a workplace accident. As a result, the insurance may deny your claim on a technicality or because of a previous injury, and you’ll be expected to pay for your injuries. A workers’ compensation attorney can help with the paperwork and ensure you receive the compensation benefits you deserve.

Premises Liability

Property owners and businesses are legally responsible for keeping their premises safe from anyone who visits the property. However, failing to keep the property free from hazards can result in severe injuries for any visitor. From slip and falls to carbon monoxide poisoning, premises liability cases are often difficult to deal with unless you have an experienced premises liability attorney to help you with your claim.

Product Liability

When you purchase a product, you trust that the manufacturer has made a safe product. Unfortunately, this is not always the case, resulting in unexpected medical treatment and lost time at work. When a defective product causes an injury, you may have a case against that manufacturer or designer.

The product liability lawyer at Munley Law has helped injury victims pursue cases against defective car parts, medical devices, dangerous drugs, and other harmful products currently on the market.

Medical Malpractice

Healthcare professionals must uphold a standard of care for their patients. However, negligence from medical professionals and facilities still occurs every day and can result in severe injury and death. The medical malpractice lawyers at Munley Law will examine your claim and consult with medical experts to find out what happened and who can be held responsible for the error. Medical malpractice claims take time to build so the sooner you call our law firm after an accident, the greater your chances are of getting compensation for your injuries.

Every personal injury case is different. The first step toward getting the compensation you are legally entitled to for your injury is to speak with an experienced personal injury lawyer. We will evaluate your unique situation, answer any questions you may have, and help you determine the next steps to take.

Frequently Asked Questions About Personal Injury Claims

What Is Defined As a Personal Injury?

A personal injury occurs when someone suffers physical, emotional, or psychological harm due to another party’s negligence or intentional actions. Legally, a valid personal injury claim requires:

• The defendant owed you a duty of care
• They breached that duty
• Their breach directly caused your injury
• You suffered actual damages

Is it Better to Settle or Go to Trial?

Each personal injury case is unique so it’s difficult to say whether it’s better to settle or go to trial. In order to answer this question, you need to know the total value of your accident claim. Your personal injury lawyer will sit down with you and calculate the full value of your claim. Once you learn how much your claim is really worth, only then will you know if the settlement offer will meet your needs or if heading to trial is the best way to go.

What Happens if Someone Dies in an Accident?

When a family member or someone you love dies in an accident, you could file a wrongful death lawsuit. A wrongful death lawsuit can not only pay for medical expenses and lost wages but also funeral costs.

How Long Will My Personal Injury Case Take?

It depends on the complexity of your case. If there are multiple parties involved and serious injuries, it could take years. If the injury is not as severe or it’s obvious who the at-fault party is, the case could be settled within a couple of months.

How Much Are Most Personal Injury Settlements?

It’s difficult to determine how much a settlement will be without first knowing the specifics of your case. Every personal injury claim is different — it all depends on the severity of the injury, the parties’ insurance coverage limits, the complexity of the accident, and the degree of fault.

It’s best to speak with an accident attorney to learn the true value of your case.
