| Personal Injury Lawyer Scranton, PA |

 |
| As a personal injury lawyer in Scranton, PA, one of my main professional objectives is to help clients who have been injured as a result of someone else's negligence to recover the money they need to rebuild their lives and to recover physically, emotionally and financially.
Though putting money at the beginning and ending of that equation may seem crude to someone who has never been devastated by a serious accident, people who have had the great misfortune of finding themselves in that situation know that you need money at every point in the healing process: Health care, rehabilitation, counseling, lost wages - every one of those challenges comes with a price tag attached.
In reality, your chances of receiving the level of financial compensation you need and deserve are materially enhanced by your choosing to work with a knowledgeable personal injury attorney who will fight hard for you. A Scranton personal injury lawyer from Rogan Law will work tirelessly to give you your best chance at success.

| Injury Lawyer Scranton |
| Posted By Patrick M. Rogan |

| Today, looking through my nephew's library books, I read some words that captured my attention. They are from Maya Angelou, and they go like this: "History, despite its wrenching pain, cannot be unlived, and if faced with courage, need not be lived again."
In the context of the book, the words refer to the system of apartheid that existed in South Africa for the majority for most of our lives. My nephew is writing a report on the ways the South African government curbed free speech and free press during the 1980s in a last ditch effort to silence advocates for change. Smart kid.
When I read the words, though, as an injury lawyer in Scranton, I could not help but make the connection to the struggle many of my clients face as they attempt to reckon with painful harm that has come to them as the result of someone else's negligence. Their task also requires courage and commitment, as well as support.
If you are searching for an injury lawyer in Scranton, then you deserve to have an experienced attorney fighting for your rights. A Scranton personal injury lawyer from Rogan Law can help you to find justice for the events of your past while making progress toward your future.

| Medical Injury Lawyer, Scranton |
| Posted By Patrick M. Rogan |
|
| As a medical injury lawyer in Scranton, I pay close attention to healthcare law.
A little more than an hour ago, the Senate approved historic healthcare legislation that the House of Representatives will confirm in a final vote this evening. The journey to this moment has been long and complex - msnbc has an excellent explanatory timeline if you'd like to look back at how events unfolded.
However, as this day draws to a close, I am looking ahead.
So much misinformation has circulated this past year that many people have little idea, or even an absolutely incorrect idea, of what the legislation will mean for them. I hope that most Americans will be relieved when they finally begin to experience an actual impact on their lives.
Though two of health care reform's main goals are fighting insurance company abuses and significantly reducing federal deficits, detractors continue to argue that reform will hurt our health care system and will create mountains of debt. I am interested to see both whether the reforms will achieve their stated goals and whether such achievements will have any impact at all on those who continue to vehemently reject them.
Other opponents reject the stipulation that everyone must buy into the system or must face financial penalties - penalties that will offset the high costs of emergency room visits, a common first line of defense in the health care of the uninsured. In effect, all Americans must now take some responsibility for their own care. They must support the system or they must help cover the potential costs of their not doing so. I am hoping this will prove to be a fair and effective way to manage the challenge of making sure Americans who do want insurance - most Americans - can get it.
I guess we will have to wait and see.
In the meantime, if you need a medical injury lawyer in or near Scranton to help you navigate the health care system, then contact Rogan Law. We will provide you with a Scranton medical injury lawyer who can answer your questions and provide you with sound legal advice.

| Scranton Auto Injury Attorney - Happy St. Patrick's Day! |
| Posted By Patrick M. Rogan |
|
| This morning's
Times-Tribune has a short piece about an auto accident on I-81 in which injuries were averted. Nobody likes to get into a Scranton car crash, but if you are going to have one then I'd say that this is the kind you want. All three men involved walked away from the accident unharmed. Seems like they had the luck of the Irish with them. Happy St. Patrick's Day, guys.
Unfortunately, many people involved in Scranton car accidents are not so lucky.
Suffering a terrible injury that could have been prevented is one of the most stressful and upsetting things a person can experience. After a serious auto accident, you may be left with overwhelming medical bills as well as the physical and emotional trauma associated with the accident itself. Though no amount of money could compensate you for the loss of your well-being, recovering financial compensation could help give you the closure and sense of justice you deserve. A
Scranton auto injury attorney can help.

| According to recent polls,
msnbc reports that Americans are split almost down the middle on whether Congress should pass or reject the health care plan upon which they are preparing to vote. Considerable opinions have been voiced both supporting and opposing the bill, and its fate is likely close at hand.
Health care is a huge issue for millions of Americans. No matter where you stand on the bill, the fact is that, following a devastating accident of any kind, you are going to be looking at an incredible pile of medical bills as you work toward your recovery.
Health care is not cheap; I think that is one thing upon which everyone can agree.
If someone else caused your injuries out of negligence, intentional misconduct or some other strict liability circumstances such as the production of a defective product or dangerous drugs, then you should talk with a
Scranton personal injury lawyer.
A
Scranton personal injury attorney at Rogan Law can look at the specific circumstances of your case and can help determine how the responsible party can be held liable for their actions. We handle personal injury cases for our clients and dedicate all of our time and energy to asserting their rights in order to recover the highest amount of financial compensation possible - giving them what they need to begin rebuilding their lives.

| South Abington Township Car Accident |
| Posted By Patrick M. Rogan |
|
| A lead story in today's
Times-Tribune describes an accident on the Morgan Highway that seriously injured four people, including a baby. This South Abington Township car accident occurred when a driver swerved into oncoming traffic, sideswiping one vehicle and then colliding head-on with another. A fourth vehicle tried to avoid the crash, but could not avoid hitting the vehicle that had already been struck head-on.
The photos of this collision are frightening - the vehicles are just mangled. My thoughts are with everyone involved, and especially with the injured parties and their families. I wish them a rapid and complete recovery.
Sometimes, however, being seriously injured in an auto accident leads to injured parties' needing a skilled
South Abington Township personal injury lawyer to advocate for their rights and to help them recover the financial compensation they deserve.
Rogan Law provides a free case evaluation to help you get started if you ever find yourself in this situation.

| Scranton Car Crash |
| Posted By Patrick Rogan |
|
| Merriam-Webster's Online Dictionary says that an "accident" is an "unforeseen or unplanned event or circumstance," but may also be "an unfortunate event resulting especially from carelessness or ignorance."
In my experience, most "accidents" have all these qualities - yes, they are unforeseen and unplanned - but that does not mean that they were unforeseeable or unpreventable. In many cases, a Scranton car crash could have been avoided had the responsible party exercised proper caution and taken preventive measures. Perhaps it is true that the person responsible did not see or plan for the danger, but it can be true, simultaneously, that that person
could have and
should have done so.
As your
Scranton car crash lawyer, I can work with accident reconstruction experts and other professionals to pinpoint the exact cause of a Scranton car crash and therefore prove the other driver's responsibility. Whether that person was violating a traffic law, speeding, driving recklessly, driving exhausted, driving drunk, racing, driving while distracted or using a cell phone, his or her "careless or ignorance" has become the cause of your suffering.
If you've been injured in a Scranton car crash, then contact a
Scranton car crash attorney at Rogan Law, today. Let us provide you with a free consultation.
