Swoyersville Personal Injury Lawyer

Flashy TV and other advertisements imply that an insurance company is “on your side” in the wake of an injury accident. That’s not true. Quite simply, insurance companies lose money when they pay claims and make money when they collect premiums. No company likes losing money. As for premiums, insurance companies earn over $1 trillion per year. So, they have plenty of resources with which to refute your injury claim, no matter how valid it is.

Insurance company lawyers only care about their employers’ bottom lines. In contrast, the Swoyersville personal injury lawyers at The Needle Law Firm only care about victims. So, we hit the ground running the moment you reach out to us. We quickly and thoroughly evaluate your case. Then, we collect evidence that supports your claims and refutes insurance company defenses. Once we have this strong foundation in place, we are well-positioned to obtain maximum compensation for your serious injuries.

Kinds of Personal Injuries

Swoyersville, like many other east-central Pennsylvania communities, was founded on coal mining in the late 19th century. Many personal injury causes are much different today than they were in 1888, when residents incorporated Swotersville. Others have not changed much. They include:

  • Falls: In modern Pennsylvania, falls send more victims to hospital emergency rooms than any other kind of injury. Typically, property owners have a duty of care to make their improved or unimproved property reasonably safe. This responsibility is ongoing. Owners must conduct frequent safety inspections and immediately remove injury hazards.
  • Animal Attacks: Dog bites often cause serious physical and emotional injuries. The physical wounds include head injuries and serious internal injuries. Emotionally, many victims, especially child victims, struggle with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and other maladies. Mostly because of better understanding of these injuries and better treatment of them, the average dog bite settlement has increased significantly since the early 2000s.
  • Medical Malpractice: Property and animal owners usually have a duty of reasonable care to protect people. Doctors usually have a fiduciary duty. They have so much education, experience, and training that they must go above and beyond to protect patient health and safety. Misdiagnosis is a good example. The misdiagnosis rate, which is about 20 percent, is acceptable in high school. But doctors are held to a higher standard.

Updated injury risks include various kinds of vehicle collisions, such as rear-end wrecks, head-on wrecks, and failure-to-yield wrecks.

Our Approach

Towns aren’t built overnight or in one fell swoop. Likewise, obtaining maximum compensation in a personal injury case is a process as well.

Our Swoyersville personal injury lawyers begin every case with a conversation. The better we understand your needs and goals, the better our plan of action is. This plan is based on all the facts as well as all the applicable rules and laws.

We not only plan our work. We also work our plan. We diligently collect evidence that supports your legal positions and refutes possible insurance company defenses. Furthermore, we research the ever-changing law, so your claim is on the cutting edge.

Because of all this preparation, we’re usually able to settle injury claims out of court, and on victim-friendly terms. In most cases, these resolutions are much better than trials. Since settlements end cases sooner, victims receive their compensation sooner. Furthermore, in a trial a judge or a jury basically dictate the outcome. Out-of-court settlements give victims more control over the outcomes of their cases. However, as mentioned, if a trial is necessary, we don’t back down.
