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.

While the man responsible for this accident will face myriad criminal charges, no recompense will be made to his victim's family unless they file a civil lawsuit against him and demand compensation for their immeasurable loss.  Though legal action may seem a weak response in the face of such a life changing event, a Poconos auto accident attorney can file a wrongful death lawsuit that will help victims' families recover funeral costs, medical bills, and more.

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.

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.

Another Scranton personal injury law firm doesn't seem to think so.  Shortly after reading my friend's words, I heard a radio advertisement from a large, local firm encouraging listeners to call in from their cell phones.  The ad emphasized the convenience of multitasking - but is the convenience worth the risk?

The US Department of Transportation doesn't think so.  With 6,000 people killed and 500,000 injured each year by distracted drivers, increasing numbers of whom are cell phone users, the Department has launched a major campaign to educate the public about the dangers of mixing cell phones and driving and to mobilize change.  One of the most interesting statistics the Department cites:  Using a cell phone - even hands-free - while driving delays drivers reaction as much as their having a BAC of 0.08, for which they could be arrested for DUI in PA.

If you are injured by a distracted driver, then you need an NEPA auto accident lawyer who takes driver negligence seriously.  At Rogan Law, we understand that, when you are the one injured because someone else's phone conversation was more important than your life, the issue of driver distraction is very important, indeed.

If you need a skilled NEPA auto accident attorney, then call Rogan Law today.

Cases like this are tragic.  Whether the courts will hold these particular defendants responsible depends on many factors.  One thing is for sure, the quality of the legal representation each side chooses will significantly impact the outcome.  A good Scranton personal injury lawyer can make all the difference in a Scranton wrongful death case.

When something bad happens in New York, it does not feel like it happened in a far away place.  Rather, it feels like it happened in our own backyard.  Maybe that is why news about the failed car bombing in Times Square this past weekend aroused such feelings of anger, anxiety and upset here at home.  News of terrorist attacks anywhere shock and sadden us, but news of terrorism in NYC stops us in our tracks.

Thankfully, no one was hurt.  I hope the police, FBI and other law enforcement piece together the evidence and find the responsible party quickly and without further incident.  I wish no one from Scranton, NYC or anywhere else ever had to deal with situations like this.  Unfortunately, in our world, people hurt other people all too often.

Getting hurt and recovering from injuries is always hard.  Getting hurt and recovering from injuries because someone meant to hurt you, or even because they neglected to take common sense precautions to avoid doing so, is somehow harder.

If you are injured in an accident because of someone else's irresponsible behavior, then you need a Scranton personal injury lawyer.  A Scranton personal injury attorney from Rogan Law cannot change what has happened to you, but our firm will help you hold the negligent party responsible for what you have endured.  If you need an experienced and aggressive Scranton personal injury lawyer, then contact a Scranton personal injury attorney from Rogan Law today.

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.

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.  

A 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.
