  Couple Sues Scranton Police Officer and City of Scranton for Serious Injuries
Posted By Patrick M. Rogan
Recent allegations that a Scranton detective was found armed, drunk and unconscious in an unmarked police car this past Christmas Eve have renewed public interest in another story about a different Scranton police officer being sued by a Scranton couple into whose car he crashed while pulling an illegal U-turn last January.

According the the Times-Tribune, the couple filed suit against the officer in November, alleging that the accident caused serious and permanent injuries.  The couple is also suing the city for what they describe as its failure to properly train, monitor and supervise the officer.

The outcome of the case remains to be seen, but I feel for the couple filling the charges.  

It's hard enough to physically recover from an auto accident that causes serious injuries, but to have to summon the courage to sue a police officer and the city in which one lives just to secure justice must be incredibly difficult.  With mounting medical bills added to the mix, one can understand how accident victims may feel entirely helpless and lost.  Their road to recovery may be long, hard and expensive.

A Scranton car accident attorney experienced in representing car accident victims can help.  If you have been injured in a car accident in Scranton, then you need a Scranton car accident lawyer  to evaluate your case and to determine how to protect your interests and seek maximum financial compensation for your injuries.

No matter what you're up against,  if you've been injured in a Scranton auto accident, then you should contact a Scranton personal injury attorney at Rogan Law.

  Scranton Drunk Driving Accident Attorney

  Marcellus Shale's Competing Interests
Posted By Patrick M. Rogan
Today's Times-Tribune reports that John Quigley, the acting secretary of the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) and Pennsylvania's top conservation official, has serious concerns about balancing deep-well drilling in the Marcellus Shale formation in Northcentral Pennsylvania with the interests of hikers, hunters, campers and timber companies that also use state forest land.  

As he prepares to receive bids for drilling on the 32,000 acres of state forest land in the Marcellus Shale formation, Quigley points out that the move to begin extracting natural gas from parks that are part of the formation will link our state's conservation agenda with resource extraction for the next fifty years.  

As DCNR leans more heavily on natural resource development to offset losses in support from tax dollars, big questions remain about how to balance our state park system with what could become one hundred deep-drilling wells, each with a footprint of about 10 acres, on land formerly dedicated primarily to public use.

There are many legal issues surrounding this formation, some of which include the approval of water withdrawals, permitting water impoundments, erosion and sedimentation controls, wastewater discharges and treatment and complying with local land use and zoning for ancillary facilities.

If you or someone you know has been personally affected by the development of this formation or if you believe you will be affected in the future, then your should seek representation from Pennsylvania Attorney Patrick M. Rogan as soon as possible to make sure your rights are protected.  

All of us should voice our own concerns to our elected officials both now and next year, when our state's park and forest systems will likely become an issue in our candidates' campaigns for governor.

  Scranton Slip and Fall Attorney
Posted By Patrick M. Rogan
Now that the ground is covered with snow, here's a winter time reminder to everyone out there from somebody who sees Scranton personal injury lawsuits every day:  Take care of your property and make sure that your negligence does not result in someone else's injury.  Standing water, spills, uneven walkways, broken stairs - all of these are made worse by icy and slippery weather conditions.  Fix it before it's too late!

Scranton slip and fall accidents are all too common, and while they may not sound serious to you, believe me - they can cause serious injuries or even death in some cases.  Depending on the accident, a slip and fall may result in broken bones, fractures, sprains, spinal injury, head injury or neck injury.  

Someone with these types of injuries, who is dealing with the pain or recovery as well as lost wages, medical bills and incredible stress, needs a Scranton slip and fall attorney with experience and integrity.

A Scranton slip and fall lawyer from Rogan Law can offer you a free consultation to discuss the circumstances of your accident and to help you determine how best to move forward.  

Don't try to go it alone.  Reach out to someone who can help.  Contact a Lackawanna County personal injury attorney at Rogan Law today.
