For over sixty years, our attorneys have focused on defending the rights of individuals, helping them recover fair compensation for losses and protecting their interests. At Johnston & Johnston in Kingston, our personal injury lawyers, when deciding whether our firm will take a case, base their decision on the merits of the claim, not on the size of the potential settlement. Please contact our office if you have any questions about our practice or to make arrangements for a free consultation with a lawyer about a personal injury claim or other legal issue.

Asserting and Protecting the Rights of Our Clients

Our Firm's Primary Practice Areas:

• Personal Injury : Technically known as a tort claim, a personal injury claim asks for compensation for losses suffered as a result of the negligence or intentional act of another.
• Medical Malpractice : We represent clients who have suffered serious injury or life threatening medical complications due to negligence on the part of doctors, nurses, radiologists, and hospital attendants.
• Birth Injuries : Our attorneys represent clients in cases involving shoulder dystocia, Erb's Palsy, Cerebral Palsy, abrupted placenta, fetal acidosis, and other birth injuries.
• Car Accidents : Motor vehicle accidents are a leading cause of injury and death in Pennsylvania. Our attorneys assist accident victims and their families in determining the cause (driver negligence? improper signage?) and in recovering medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages from all available sources.
• Motorcycle Accidents : Motorcycle accidents often result in catastrophic injuries. It is important that an attorney accurately determines the financial impact of those injuries.
• Truck Accidents : Occupants of passenger vehicles often suffer devastating injuries or wrongful death in collisions with 18-wheelers and semis.
• Pedestrian Knockdowns : It happens every day – a hit and run driver injures a pedestrian. Our lawyers help the victims find available insurance coverage.
• Pennsylvania Auto Insurance : Personal Injury Protection (PIP), Underinsured Motorist (UIM), Uninsured Motorist (UM) – it is important to speak with a lawyer before signing forms that limit your right to insurance benefits.
• Uninsured / Underinsured Insurance Claims : Most drivers pay for coverage that protects them in cases where they are hit and injured by an uninsured or underinsured driver. We represent clients in cases involving claims against insurance companies who refuse to pay or delay paying claims on uninsured / underinsured coverage.
• Products Liability : Our office represents clients with cases involving defective or dangerous products. We handle cases involving electrical cord fires, defective appliances, SUV rollovers, tire blowouts, failed seat belt clasps, dangerous drugs, defective medical devices, dangerous toys, toxic chemicals, and other products as well.
• Premises Liability : Slip and fall accidents, dog bites, assaults caused by inadequate security – owners and managers of property are obligated to keep premises safe and secure.
• Nursing Home Abuse/Neglect : Are you concerned about a patient showing signs of neglect or abuse: bedsores, malnutrition, or depression?
• Wrongful Death : A survivor who relied on the financial or emotional support of a victim of a fatal accident or assault may be entitled to a wrongful death claim.
• Workers' Compensation : When a worker is injured on the job he or she is entitled to workers' compensation benefits for medical care and lost wages.
• Compromise and Release : In a compromise and release agreement an employee and employer agree on a lump sum payment as opposed to weekly wage loss benefits and resolution of medical benefits.
• Social Security Disability : If you have been or will be unable to work for twelve months you may be entitled to SSI and SSDI benefits.
• Bad Faith Insurance Cases : You pay auto, homeowners', disability, or other insurance premiums, and your provider is obligated to pay certain benefits. If your insurance company is not fair in its dealing with you, you may be entitled to an insurance bad faith claim.
• Employment Discrimination : Federal and state laws prohibit certain types of discrimination and harassment in the workplace.
• Estate Administration : Our attorneys provide the sound and sensitive counsel you need when discussing difficult question regarding death and inheritance.
