Where Nanticoke accidents happen
Route 29 and the I-81 connection. Highway speeds, merging traffic and commuters heading to Wilkes-Barre and beyond make expressway crashes more serious. See I-81 accidents in Luzerne and Lackawanna County and rear-end collisions.
Main Street, Middle Road and Prospect Street. Busy intersections, turning traffic and street parking lead to side-impact and lane-change crashes. See T-bone and intersection accidents.
Around the college and downtown. Students, pedestrians and drivers looking for parking share tight spaces. See hit while walking or biking and parking lot accidents.
Hills and winter weather. Nanticoke's steep side streets turn slick fast in snow and ice, on the road and on sidewalks and steps. See winter injuries and icy sidewalk responsibility.
Not just car accidents
We also help Nanticoke-area residents after slip and falls in stores and businesses, dog bites, and injuries on the job caused by someone other than an employer. See workers' comp vs. a third-party claim.

How Nanticoke cases are handled
Nanticoke is in Luzerne County, so if a lawsuit is needed, it is typically filed in the Luzerne County Court of Common Pleas in Wilkes-Barre. 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.
