Welcome

of Munley, Munley & Cartwright, P.C. Our attorneys
are experts in Pennsylvania's automobile,
liability, insurance and “no-fault” laws. We have
successfully represented many victims who have
suffered injuries in vehicle-related accidents.
Under Pennsylvania's laws, if you have been
injured in a vehicle accident that was caused by
another person’s carelessness or recklessness, you
may be entitled to recover damages that include
medical costs, property loss, lost wages, and pain
and suffering. Please call Munley, Munley &
Cartwright’s lawyers for an assessment of your
case. We have offices conveniently located in
Stroudsburg, Carbondale, Hamlin, Hazleton, Scranton,
and Wilkes-Barre, PA.
People injured in
serious motor vehicle accidents can suffer
devastating consequences. Victims are often left
to wonder who will pay their medical bills and
provide financial support to their families during
their recovery time, as well as if they are
permanently disabled due to the accident. Our
attorneys can offer critical advice in preserving
evidence and preparing your case.
If you have had
an accident and someone else was at fault, the
guilty party's insurance company is responsible
for paying for all of your damages that were a
result of the accident. You should thoroughly
examined by a doctor, since seemingly minor
injuries often develop into major health problems.
Even if you do not have any broken bones, cuts,
lacerations or bruises, you may still have
sustained a connective- tissue injury; which may
lead to long term adverse effects if left
untreated. You should also consult with an
attorney to gain advice as to how you should
proceed after an accident. Attorneys know the
types of documentation and evidence that must be
preserved in order to develop a successful claim.
Accident victims
and the families of those who have died in
traffic-related accidents face a challenging
situation that is further complicated by the
complex Pennsylvania insurance laws and legal
issues. If you have been injured in an accident
or are the survivor of someone who has died in a
car crash, you need the help of qualified auto
accident attorney. As a business, insurance
companies are primarily concerned with limiting
their payout and your needs are secondary. While
the insurance company may present what you think
is an attractive settlement offer, it is in your
best interests to contact an attorney who will put
your needs before the insurance company interests.
It is always best to discuss your situation with a
skilled attorney before you decide to enter into
discussions with an insurance representative.
The Munley,
Munley & Cartwright firm has years of experience
in dealing with insurance companies and handling
accident claims. We are familiar with all of the
techniques that the insurance companies may use to
influence you to settle quickly and for less
compensation. Insurance companies have a team of
investigators, adjustors, agents and legal help to
protect them. As the accident victim, you need
your own team of legal experts to protect you.
Recoverable
damages associated with car crashes vary from
state to state. Pennsylvania automobile accident
victims and survivors may sue for damages from the
operator(s) of the other motor vehicle(s) involved
when one of the following criteria is met:
- The victim has
died,
- The victim
suffers a permanent and serious disfigurement,
- A bone is
fractured,
- The loss of
one of the “senses” such as sight, taste,
hearing or smell,
- A limb has
been lost,
- Medical
expenses equal or exceed $2,000 (that amount is
generally covered by Personal Injury Protection
(PIP) policies required by law.
If the person
responsible for your injuries does not have
insurance coverage or their coverage does not
sufficiently provide for your damages, you may be
entitled to collect uninsurance or underinsurance.
Most automobile accident litigations in
Pennsylvania are civil actions against someone who
is negligent. In automobile mishaps, negligence is
the failure of a vehicle operator to exercise due
care which resulted in an accident, injury or
death. Although it is a difficult allegation to
prove, our lawyers are experienced in
demonstrating negligence by preparing the
proper documentation, interviewing witnesses and
presenting a case that meets the criteria for
negligence established by Pennsylvania law. If the
accident was caused by a vehicle defect, you may
also be eligible to receive punitive damages from
the manufacturer and/or supplier.
Because of the
complexities involved in automobile accident
cases, it is important that you act quickly and
contact an attorney with any questions or issues.
Proving negligence takes an investment of time,
experience, and resources – advantages that only a
qualified attorney can provide. At Munley,
Munley & Cartwright, our goal is to provide
exceptional legal services to our clients. We
strive to achieve the highest standard of
excellence for the protection of individual rights
