Personal Injury Attorney in Pittston Township, PA

Where Pittston Township accidents happen
Route 315. The township's commercial spine carries shoppers, commuters and a steady flow of tractor-trailers headed to and from area distribution centers. Turning traffic, frequent driveways and heavy trucks are a hard combination — see truck accidents in Pennsylvania.
The Wyoming Valley interchange (Turnpike Exit 115). Traffic coming off the Northeast Extension merges onto Route 315 here, often at speed and often unfamiliar with local roads.
Interstate 81. I-81 runs through the township, with busy interchanges nearby at Exits 175 and 178. Our page on I-81 accidents in Luzerne and Lackawanna County explains what makes interstate crashes different.
Airport traffic. Travelers, rental cars and rideshare drivers circulate around the airport day and night. If you were hurt in an Uber, Lyft or delivery driver crash or in a rental car, insurance gets complicated quickly.
Suscon Road and the mountain roads. The township's eastern half is forest and mountain. Curves, deer and snow and ice make these roads dangerous in the wrong conditions.
Warehouse and work injuries
Pittston Township is part of a busy warehouse and logistics corridor. Workers who are hurt on the job usually have a workers' compensation claim — but if someone other than the employer caused the injury, such as a trucking company, an equipment manufacturer or a property contractor, there may also be a separate injury claim. See warehouse and distribution center injuries in NEPA and workers' comp vs. a third-party claim.
How a Pittston Township injury claim is handled
Pittston Township 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 settle before trial. Pennsylvania's two-year filing deadline, your limited or full tort election and the comparative negligence rule all shape what you can recover.
