About Daniel
Daniel Platt is pleased to return to Scranton Law Firm after gaining invaluable experience working for an insurance defense firm. That experience gave him an insider's view of how insurance companies build their cases, evaluate claims, and try to minimize payouts — knowledge he now uses to fight for injured clients.
Before law school, Daniel worked as a paralegal for a toxic tort firm for nearly four years, handling complex litigation involving hazardous materials and corporate negligence. This foundation in high-stakes litigation prepared him for the demands of personal injury practice.
I've seen how insurance companies operate from the inside. I know their playbook, their tactics, their pressure points. Now I use that knowledge to fight for the people they're trying to lowball.— Daniel Platt
