Where Dickson City and Throop accidents happen
Commerce Boulevard and the shopping centers. Crowded lots, turning traffic and drivers focused on finding a space lead to frequent fender-benders and pedestrian injuries. See parking lot accidents and hit while walking or biking.
Main Street and the Scranton-Carbondale Highway. Busy intersections and frequent driveways lead to side-impact and rear-end crashes. See T-bone and intersection accidents and rear-end collisions.
The Casey Highway. Higher speeds and merging traffic make expressway crashes more serious. See distracted driver accidents.
Winter weather. Snow and ice make hills, ramps, sidewalks and store lots dangerous. See winter injuries and slipping on ice in a parking lot.
Hurt in a store or shopping center?
With so much retail in Dickson City, falls inside stores and on their sidewalks and lots are common. Property owners and businesses have a duty to keep their premises reasonably safe. See slip and falls in stores and businesses and who is liable for a slip and fall.

How Dickson City and Throop cases are handled
Both communities are in Lackawanna County, so if a lawsuit is needed, it is typically filed in the Lackawanna County Court of Common Pleas in Scranton. Most claims are resolved through negotiation with the insurance company. Pennsylvania's two-year filing deadline, your limited or full tort selection and comparative negligence all affect your case. If the other driver had little or no insurance, see uninsured and underinsured drivers.
