Schuylkill Personal Injury Lawyers

Accidents, and the injuries caused by them, are an unfortunate part of life.  However, if you or someone you love has been injured by someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to compensation under the law.

Personal injury lawsuits establish responsibility for the injury and make the responsible party reimburse the victim for any damages. Personal injury lawsuits can develop from just about any situation including car accidents, truck accidents, medical malpractice and workplace injury.

The Schuylkill County personal injury attorneys at Munley, Munley, & Cartwright, P.C. have represented clients in personal injury claims for more than 40 years. We understand the intricacies of Pennsylvania’s personal injury laws and we know the high price that victims and their families pay when a serious personal injury occurs. While we realize that financial compensation cannot restore a livelihood or bring back a lost loved one, we also believe that those who cause personal injuries must be held accountable.

If you feel that you have been harmed and that it is truly someone else's fault, you can sue to recover financial compensation. A person who is injured as a result of someone else’s negligent or reckless behavior can recover many types of damages. The goal of awarding damages is to restore the victim as much as possible physically, emotionally, mentally, and financially to the way they were before they were harmed.

Damages that may be awarded in a personal injury case can include:

• Reimbursement for losses that cannot be easily measured, such as pain and suffering, emotional distress, or mental impairment.
• Lost earning potential for interference with the victim’s ability to earn money in the future.
• Lost wages for income not earned due to the injury.
• Medical expenses for medical bills incurred from the injury.

A victim’s family can recover damages as well. This includes awards for loss of affection (known as loss of consortium) and wrongful death. If the injury was caused by a particularly egregious or intentional act, punitive damages may be granted in order to punish the responsible party (as opposed to compensate the victim).

In order to file a personal injury claim, certain elements must be present. First, the victim must be able to demonstrate that the person allegedly at fault actually does bear legal responsibility for the injury. Next, the victim must be able to show that the damages claimed for the injury are an accurate reflection of the injury.

Personal injury claims can be incredibly complex to prove. A Schuylkill injury lawyer will examine your case and help you determine the best course of action. Filing an official lawsuit may not be necessary. In fact, most experienced personal injury lawyers attempt to settle a case because it is the fastest and easiest way to reach an acceptable conclusion for both parties. But if a settlement cannot be reached, then it is crucial to have a competent Schuylkill injury attorney who will prove your case in court.
