  Establishing Responsibility: Negligence, Strict Liability and Intentional Conduct
Posted By Patrick Rogan
If you have been injured in Scranton, but don't know whether you have a solid case against the party that caused your injuries, then you should speak with a Scranton personal injury lawyer.  An experienced Scranton personal injury attorney will tell you that establishing legal responsibility, or liability, is among the first tasks you and your attorney will need to tackle.

There are really three kinds of liability:  negligence, strict liability and intentional conduct.  Negligence means a failure to act with proper caution or reasonable care.  Strict liability refers to situations in which defendants can be held accountable regardless of intent.  Intentional conduct is just as it sounds - it refers to situations in which one party willfully or intentionally harms another.

A Scranton injury lawyerat Rogan Law can work with accident reconstruction specialists, medical professionals, economists, private investigators and other qualified professionals to conduct investigations and to act as expert witnesses for your case, helping to prove the liability of the defendant in your Scranton accident case.  If someone else caused your injuries, then we will work with you to prove it.

Contact a Scranton injury attorney at Rogan Law to set up a free consultation today.  We look forward to talking with you.

  Injured in Drunk Driving Accident?
Posted By Patrick Rogan
Recent Times Leader reports about a local drunk driving accident involving a young woman from Towanda, who was driving with a BAC twice the legal limit, and a U.S. Congressional candidate from Lycoming County bring home the fact that drunk drivers can change any of our lives at any moment.  

They may not always make the papers, but Wilkes-Barre drunk driving accidents injure and/or kill far too often.  Nationally, drunk driving accidents account for approximately one-third of all fatal accidents; someone is killed in a drunk driving accident every 45 seconds.  

If you have been injured in a car accident caused by a drunk driver, then it is important that you consult a Wilkes-Barre accident attorney as soon as possible.  With the help of a Wilkes-Barre accident lawyer, you can seek the financial compensation to which you are entitled.  You can also take legal action against the driver who caused the accident and your injuries.

Rogan Law passionately, aggressively and effectively represents clients who have been injured in Wilkes-Barre drunk driving accidents.  Contact a Wilkes-Barre drunk driving accident attorney at Rogan Law today.

  Scranton Drunk Driving Accidents
Posted By Patrick M. Rogan
The Times-Tribune reports this morning on a problem law enforcement officers are facing here in NEPA and nationwide - DUI offenders who are arrested, processed and released, only to immediately commit the same crime.  There have been three of these kinds of cases in our area just this year.

Repeat DUIs present a major threat to public safety, as do all drunk drivers, who cause injury and death to innocent people every day.  If you have been injured or have lost a loved one in a drunk driving accident, then you know that drunk drivers present more than a legal conundrum; they can take away your health and even your life.

A Scranton drunk driving accident attorney cannot change what has happened to you if you have experienced injury or loss as a result of someone else's decision to drive under the influence, but a highly qualified, experienced Scranton drunk driving accident lawyer might be able to help you in other ways.  

In addition to the legal consequences a drunk driver faces, you can bring a civil lawsuit to seek financial compensation.  Such settlements can help pay for medical expenses, funeral costs, emotional trauma, pain and suffering, loss of companionship and lost wages.  The money cannot take away your pain, but it might provide you with the resources you need to begin healing.

  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.

  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.

  Stroudsburg Serious Injuries Lawyer
Posted By Patrick M. Rogan
As a Stroudsburg serious injuries lawyer, I read with interest today's article in the Pocono Record detailing a stimulus-funded plan to improve Monroe County's Route 33.  The plan includes new guide rails, highway resurfacing and bridge rehabilitation, all of which could help prevent serious injuries along that stretch.

Serious injuries can be caused by Stroudsburg car accidents or by many other events, unexpected incidences or accidents.  Both the young and the elderly are treated in local emergency rooms for serious injuries every minute of every day, and in many cases, someone else is actually responsible for the injuries.

As a Stroudsburg serious injuries lawyer, I represent those victims who have sustained grievous bodily harm by a negligent party.  I have over 20 years of legal expertise and extensive education in the areas of personal injury and serious injury law.  I am both qualified and passionate about helping you in your time of need.

If you have been seriously injured in an accident of any kind, then call a Stroudburg serious injuries lawyer at Rogan Law today.

  Fatal Car Crashes Cause for Concern in Poconos
Posted By Patrick M. Rogan
Do you know the leading cause of death for Americans aged 34 and under?  How about the leading cause of long-term disability for Americans of all ages?  Turns out if you know the answer to one question, then you know the answer to both.

Driving accidents.  

The Pocono Record recently reported that driving accidents account for more than 40,000 deaths each year - that's around 120 people per day.  Many additional people are seriously injured in ways that continue to impact them for the rest of their lives.

In the Poconos, fatal accidents are on the rise.  Country roads, extreme weather conditions and population increases may all be factors in this deadly trend.

Losing someone you love in a car accident is almost unthinkable, but it is, unfotunately, far more likely than we want to believe.  Often called vehicular manslaughter or vehicular homicide, driving-related deaths do affect many Pocono families.  

If you or someone you know is experiencing this most painful tragedy, then you need to find a Pocono wrongful death attorney who will stand by your side and will build a case against the driver who caused the accident while you focus on your emotional and spiritual loss.  

Pocono wrongful death lawyer from Rogan Law can help your family begin the process of filing a wrongful death suit against the responsible party.  This won't bring your loved one back, but it can help you to begin healing and provide you with financial compensation to cover funeral costs, medical bills and more.

Contact a Pocono wrongful death attorney at Rogan Law today.
