| Scranton Birth Injury Attorney |
| Posted By Patrick M. Rogan |
 |
| A child is born every few minutes at our local hospitals in NEPA. Parents of newly born children experience overwhelming feelings of joy and happiness. No one anticipates needing a Scranton birth injury attorney.
But when labor and delivery go wrong, newborns may suffer birth injuries, and the usual joy and happiness can become badly tainted by sadness, fear and anxiety. Such tragedies are not always physicians' or medical providers' fault, but there are times when their negligence, carelessness or poor judgement are to blame.
When a medical error causes your child any kind of birth trauma or birth injury, you may be legally entitled to file a Pennsylvania birth injury lawsuit against your hospital or doctor. Contact a Scranton birth injury attorney as soon as possible for a free case evaluation.
A Scranton birth injury lawyer from Rogan Law cannot undo the damage that has been done to you and your family. But we can help you seek legal compensation for your child's injuries and ensure that the responsible party is held accountable. And, hopefully help prevent such medical errors in the future.

| Scranton Personal Injury Lawyer, Foodborne Illness or Food Poisoning |
| Posted By Patrick M. Rogan |
|
| As a Scranton personal injury lawyer, I took interest in the recent film Food, Inc., a documentary which showcases the mostly hidden machinations of the American food industry and that industry's relationship with foodborne illness or food poisoning.
Fascinating and often disturbing, the film sheds light on how our nation's poorly regulated transition from family farms to factory farms has dangerously, and sometimes lethally, compromised the quality of our food supply.
One story line in particular stuck with me.
A mother whose two-year-old son died from E.coli poisoning after eating commercially prepared hamburger appeared repeatedly in the film. It spotlighted her heartbreaking experience and her resultant goal - to amend federal law and give the USDA authority to close down plants that consistently produce contaminated meat, a power it currently does not possess, thanks mostly to meat industry lobbyists.
In the meantime, if you or someone you love is seriously injured by foodborne illness or food poisoning, then you will need an experienced, aggressive Scranton personal injury lawyer on your side. A Scranton personal injury attorney from Rogan Law can help you pick up the pieces, hold negligent parties responsible, recover damages and move forward with your life.

| Poconos Dog Bite Lawyer |
| Posted By Patrick M. Rogan |
|
Lots of people have a story about a dog. Most of the time, the story involves a deep friendship and plenty of love. Scientists have even suggested links between people's experiences with their pets and the people's living longer, healthier lives.
If you are looking for a pet, then a great place to start is Petfinder. Dogs, cats and other little critters are classified by age, size, breed and location so that people in search of animal friends can find a great match. If you prefer, then look directly to your local animal shelter. In the Poconos, the Dessin Animal Shelter is a great place to start.
Unfortunately, there are some people whose dog story is less than heartwarming.
Dog bites and animal attacks do happen, and when they do, they often leave their victims severely injured with broken bones, disfiguring lacerations, and requiring multiple sutures or cosmetic surgery to repair.
If you or your child were bitten or attacked by a dog in Northeast Pennsylvania or the Poconos, then you need a Poconos dog bite attorney. A Poconos dog bite lawyer from Rogan Law will provide you with a free consultation to discuss the incident and determine whether we can take legal action against the dog owner.

| Marcellus Shale Formation Sparks Mass Tort Environmental & Real Estate Litigation |
| Posted By Patrick M. Rogan |
|
The Marcellus Shale formation in Pennsylvania holds up to 50 trillion cubic feet of recoverable natural gas and lies under Pennsylvania, New York, as well as West Virginia. The formation is thought to be valued around $1 trillion. The Marcellus Shale has sparked a myriad of environmental law issues that have been keeping lawyers busy throughout Pennsylvania. With landowners being approached by oil and gas exploration companies, and legal battles between corporations and municipal governments, Pennsylvania attorneys have their hands full.
Landowners, oil & gas companies, environmental consultants, wastewater treatment companies, equipment suppliers, local governments, watershed groups, and citizens are all highly interested in the Marcellus Shale formation and its possible effects. There are many legal issues surrounding this formation, some of which include the approval of water withdrawals, permitting water impoundments, erosion & sedimentation controls, wastewater discharges and treatment, and complying with local land use and zoning for ancillary facilities.
The mass tort, environmental and real estate/contract litigation arising from Marcellus Shale gas exploration and mining is a very pressing legal issue to many in Pennsylvania. If you or someone you know has been affected by this formation in any way or may be affected in the future, you should seek representation from Pennsylvania Attorney Patrick M. Rogan as soon as possible to make sure your rights are protected. |
