Common accidents in Exeter and Wyoming
Route 11 (Wyoming Avenue) collisions. Business driveways, side-street turns and stop-and-go traffic create constant conflict points. Rear-end crashes and side-impact collisions from left turns are among the most common claims we review.
Route 92 crashes. Route 92 runs north from Exeter toward Exeter Township and the back roads beyond, where speed, curves, deer and winter ice all play a role.
Distracted and impaired driving. Many of the crashes on these corridors involve a driver who was texting or distracted or impaired.
Pedestrians near schools and shops. Wyoming Area schools, bus stops and storefronts along Route 11 put people on foot close to fast-moving traffic. See hit while walking or biking.
Slip and falls at local businesses. Parking lots and entrances along the commercial strip can be dangerous in winter. Our page on slip and falls in a store or business explains what to do.
What to do after an injury in Exeter or Wyoming
Get medical care first, even if you feel mostly fine — symptoms from whiplash and concussions often show up a day or two later. Call the police so there is a report, take photos, and get witness names. After that, be careful with the other driver's insurer: you are not required to give a recorded statement. Our checklist for the first 72 hours after a car accident walks through each step, and our guide to getting your Pennsylvania crash report explains how to request the police report.
How Exeter and Wyoming injury cases are handled
Both boroughs are in Luzerne County, so a lawsuit, if one is needed, is typically filed in the Luzerne County Court of Common Pleas in Wilkes-Barre. Most claims settle without a trial. Pennsylvania's limited tort and full tort options, its comparative negligence rule, and the general two-year deadline all affect your case, which is why it helps to understand them early.
