Personal Injury Attorney in Scranton, PA
Scranton is the heart of Lackawanna County, and its roads stay busy: commuters on Interstate 81 and the Central Scranton Expressway, students around the University of Scranton and Marywood University, shoppers on the Keyser Avenue and Route 6/11 corridors, and tractor-trailers headed to the Turnpike's Northeast Extension. If you were hurt in Scranton, Joyce, Carmody & Moran is a local personal injury law firm a short drive down I-81 at our Pittston office.
Where Scranton accidents happen
Interstate 81 and the Central Scranton Expressway. Heavy truck traffic, tight interchanges and sudden slowdowns make highway crashes more serious. See I-81 accidents in Luzerne and Lackawanna County and truck accidents.
Keyser Avenue, Main Avenue and Route 6/11. Retail corridors bring frequent turns, crowded lots and rear-end crashes. See rear-end collisions and parking lot accidents.
Downtown and the college neighborhoods. Wyoming Avenue, Lackawanna Avenue and the streets around campus mix cars, buses, pedestrians and cyclists. See hit while walking or biking.
Hills, ice and snow. Scranton's steep streets get slick in winter, for drivers and for people on foot. See slip and fall on ice or snow and winter injuries.
After an accident in Scranton
Get medical care right away, even if you feel fine, because some injuries show up days later. See delayed symptoms after an accident. Crashes in the city are typically handled by the Scranton Police Department or, on state highways, the Pennsylvania State Police. See how to get your Pennsylvania crash report.
How Scranton cases are handled
If a lawsuit is needed, a Scranton case is typically filed in the Lackawanna County Court of Common Pleas in downtown Scranton. 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.
