Scranton, Wilkes-Barre & Stroudsburg Personal Injury Attorney

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

At what point should I contact an attorney?

It is important to contact an attorney as soon as you can. After an accident, you may be facing extensive medical care. You may have been contacted by the other party’s insurance company for a statement. It is crucial that you consult an attorney immediately so your rights and interests are protected. This can help ensure higher financial recovery and therefore more money to pay medical costs and living expenses while you are injured.

I believe that I may have been at fault in the accident. Can I still file a claim?

Even if you believe that you were partially responsible in the accident, it is still helpful to contact a lawyer regarding filing a claim. It may be discovered during an accident reconstruction that you were actually not at fault. It may also be possible to still recover compensation even if you were partially at fault. Either way, your personal injury lawyer can evaluate your case to determine what to do.

What is my case worth?

The value of your case will vary depending on numerous factors. The extent of your injuries, the accident itself, medical costs and the long-term effects of your injuries will all affect what your case may be worth. To determine your chances of financial recovery, a skilled personal injury attorney will need to conduct a thorough evaluation and investigation of your case.

Medication errors, failure to diagnose, birth injuries and surgical injuries are all forms of medical malpractice.
