Where Plains Township accidents happen
Route 315. Between Wilkes-Barre and Pittston, Route 315 mixes casino and hotel visitors, shoppers, commuters and tractor-trailers. Late-night traffic and impaired drivers add to the risk.
Interstate 81 and I-476. Interstate crashes often involve high speeds, multiple vehicles and commercial trucks. See I-81 accidents in Luzerne and Lackawanna County and truck accidents.
Routes 309 and 115. These highways link Plains Township to Wilkes-Barre, the Back Mountain and Bear Creek. High-speed merges and interchanges lead to serious collisions.
Main Street and River Street. Local roads through Plains, Hudson and Midvale carry steady neighborhood traffic, pedestrians and school buses. See hit while walking or biking.
Business premises. Wet floors, poorly lit parking areas and uncleared ice at stores, restaurants and other businesses can cause serious falls. See who is liable for a slip and fall and slipped on ice in a parking lot.
Injuries that need careful documentation
High-speed crashes often cause injuries that are easy to underestimate at first, including whiplash, neck and back injuries and concussions. Getting evaluated early and following up with treatment protects both your health and your claim.
