DOYLESTOWN, PA, May 22, 2013 (Press-News.org) Scranton and Wilkes-Barre, Pa. personal injury firm Scartelli Olszewski, P.C., is pleased to announce that Founder and President Melissa A. Scartelli has been recognized by Thomson Reuters, published annually in Philadelphia magazine, as a 2013 Pennsylvania Super Lawyer. She has received this honor each year since 2009.

She handles automobile accidents, auto defects, construction and workplace accidents, defective drugs and medical devices, insurance bad faith, liquor liability, medical malpractice, nursing home negligence, premises liability, product liability, professional liability and psychiatric malpractice.

For example, Scartelli and firm shareholder and managing partner Peter Paul Olszewski, Jr., secured a $550,000 jury verdict for a 79-year-old woman whose lung cancer diagnosis was delayed by 23 months. The medical malpractice verdict may be the largest in Lackawanna County for an elderly patient.

In multiple medical malpractice cases, the two personal injury lawyers have won settlements exceeding $1 million.

Both bar associations and courts across the United States have recognized the legitimacy of the Super Lawyers selection process. In fact, in a recent New Jersey Supreme Court ruling, the court stated, "[The Super Lawyers selection process] is a comprehensive, good-faith and detailed attempt to produce a list of lawyers that have attained high peer recognition, meet ethical standards, and have demonstrated some degree of achievement in their field."

Pennsylvania Super Lawyers is a record of outstanding lawyers who, through a meticulous peer review and independent research process, have been identified as attaining a high degree of peer recognition and professional achievement. Only the top 5 percent of Pennsylvania lawyers and the top 2.5 percent of up-and-coming Pennsylvania lawyers appear on the credible, comprehensive and diverse Super Lawyers and Rising Stars lists.
