Frequently Asked Questions About Personal Injury in Scranton

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 insurance companies pressure you to accept inadequate settlements. 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?

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 it takes 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 Scranton personal injury attorneys 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 in Scranton Settle or Go to Court?

Many personal injury cases are 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 in Scranton?

To win a personal injury case, 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.
