Common accidents in Jenkins Township and Laflin
Route 315 and I-81 crashes. Route 315 runs alongside I-81 through this stretch toward Yatesville and Laflin, and the ramps and merges see constant traffic. See I-81 accidents in Luzerne and Lackawanna County.
Truck and delivery vehicle collisions. Warehouses near the highways mean tractor-trailers on local roads, plus a steady stream of vans making deliveries. See truck accidents and hit by a delivery truck or van.
Crashes near the Eighth Street Bridge. The bridge links Jenkins Township across the river to Wyoming, carrying local traffic between the two sides of the valley.
School traffic. The Pittston Area high school campus straddles the Jenkins Township–Yatesville line, bringing buses, new drivers and students on foot. See hit while walking or biking.
Winter crashes and falls. Hills and shaded roads hold ice. Read why "the roads were bad" is not a defense and slip and fall on ice or snow.
Hurt at work in a warehouse?
Many people in Jenkins Township and Laflin work in the distribution centers along the I-81 and Route 315 corridor. A workplace injury is usually a workers' compensation matter, but when a third party — a trucking company, a contractor, an equipment maker — caused it, there may be a separate injury claim as well. See warehouse and distribution center injuries in NEPA.
How these cases are handled
Jenkins Township and Laflin are in Luzerne County, so a lawsuit, if needed, is typically filed in the Luzerne County Court of Common Pleas in Wilkes-Barre. Most claims resolve through negotiation with the insurance company. Either way, Pennsylvania's two-year deadline, limited and full tort rules and first-party medical benefits all matter.
