Personal Injury Attorney in Kingston, Forty Fort & Edwardsville, PA
Kingston, Forty Fort and Edwardsville sit side by side on the West Side of the Susquehanna, directly across the river from Wilkes-Barre. Wyoming Avenue (U.S. Route 11) runs through all three, and the Market Street and Pierce Street bridges carry a steady stream of traffic to and from the city. If you were hurt on the West Side, Joyce, Carmody & Moran is a local personal injury law firm a short drive up Route 11 at our Pittston office.
Where West Side accidents happen
Wyoming Avenue (Route 11). Traffic lights, driveways, side streets and frequent turns make this one of the busiest corridors in the valley. See rear-end collisions and distracted driver accidents.
The Market Street and Pierce Street bridges. Bridge traffic, merges at each end and pedestrians crossing into the city all add risk, especially at rush hour.
The Cross Valley Expressway. Route 309 connects the West Side with I-81, and its ramps and merges see fast-moving traffic.
Shopping centers and parking lots. The Narrows and other shopping plazas along Route 11 bring busy lots and slow-speed collisions. See parking lot accidents and slipped on ice in a parking lot.
Neighborhood streets and schools. Residential blocks, school zones and kids walking or biking. See hit while walking or biking and Pennsylvania's school bus stopping law.
Injuries that need careful documentation
Even lower-speed crashes can cause whiplash, neck and back injuries or concussions that get worse over the following days. Getting evaluated early and following up with treatment protects both your health and your claim. If you had back or neck problems before the crash, see pre-existing conditions and your claim.
How West Side cases are handled
Kingston, Forty Fort and Edwardsville are in Luzerne County, so a lawsuit, if needed, is typically filed in the Luzerne County Court of Common Pleas in Wilkes-Barre, just across the river. Most claims resolve 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.
