Experienced Personal Injury Attorneys Serving All of Luzerne County
Luzerne County stretches from the urban corridors of Wilkes-Barre and Hazleton to the lakeside communities of Harveys Lake and the rural roads of the Back Mountain. Across this diverse landscape, residents face injury risks every day — car accidents on I-81 and Route 309, workplace injuries in warehouses and manufacturing plants, slip and fall hazards at commercial properties, and medical errors at regional healthcare facilities. When negligence causes an injury, victims deserve attorneys who know Luzerne County inside and out.
Our Luzerne County personal injury lawyers represent clients in every community across the county. We have handled cases in the Luzerne County Court of Common Pleas for years and understand how local judges, juries, and insurance adjusters approach personal injury claims. We combine this county-specific knowledge with aggressive investigation, thorough medical documentation, and a refusal to settle for less than your case is worth.
Personal Injury Cases We Handle in Luzerne County
Car Accidents
Collisions on I-81, Route 309, Route 11, and local roads throughout Luzerne County. We investigate fault, handle all insurance communication, and fight for full compensation covering medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
Slip & Fall
Icy sidewalks, wet store floors, broken steps, and poorly maintained commercial properties across Luzerne County create fall hazards. We prove the property owner knew about the danger and failed to fix it or warn visitors.

Denied claims, benefit disputes, and return-to-work conflicts for workers injured at jobs throughout Luzerne County. We fight for full benefits and pursue third-party claims when another party's negligence contributed to your injury.
Truck Accidents
Commercial truck crashes on I-81, Route 309, and other Luzerne County highways involve complex liability and multiple parties. We obtain black box data, driver logs, and maintenance records to build strong cases against trucking companies.
Wrongful Death
When negligence — whether on the road, at a workplace, in a hospital, or on someone's property — takes a Luzerne County resident's life, we help families pursue wrongful death claims for funeral costs, lost income, and their devastating loss.

"After a serious car accident on I-81 in Luzerne County, I contacted three law firms. PA Attorney Source was the only one that met with me in person, reviewed my medical records themselves, and explained exactly how they would handle my case. They fought my case through to a jury trial in Luzerne County Court and won a verdict that was more than triple what the insurance company offered to settle."

Pennsylvania Injury Laws That Affect Your Luzerne County Case
Two-Year Statute of Limitations
Pennsylvania law requires personal injury lawsuits to be filed within two years of the injury date. Missing this deadline bars your claim permanently.
Modified Comparative Negligence
Your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault. If you are more than 51% responsible, you cannot recover damages at all under Pennsylvania's modified rule.
Choice No-Fault Auto Insurance
Pennsylvania drivers choose between "full tort" and "limited tort" coverage, which determines when you can sue for pain and suffering after a car accident.
No Cap on Compensatory Damages
Pennsylvania does not cap compensatory damages in most personal injury cases, though claims against government entities have special limitations.

Frequently Asked Questions About Personal Injury Cases in Luzerne County
We handle a wide range of personal injury cases throughout Luzerne County, including car accidents, truck collisions, motorcycle crashes, slip and fall injuries, workplace accidents, workers compensation claims, medical malpractice, defective products, dog bites, construction accidents, and wrongful death. Whatever caused your injury, our attorneys have the experience to pursue maximum compensation.
Look for an attorney with experience handling your specific type of case, a track record of results in Luzerne County courts, and a commitment to personal attention. Ask about their fee structure — reputable firms work on contingency, meaning you pay nothing unless they win. Avoid firms that pass you off to paralegals or case managers instead of giving you direct access to your attorney.
Pennsylvania generally gives you two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. Medical malpractice claims also have a two-year statute of limitations, which may begin when you discover the malpractice rather than when it occurred. Workers compensation claims require notice to your employer within 120 days and filing within three years. Contact an attorney promptly to protect your rights.
Case value depends on the severity of your injuries, total medical expenses, lost wages, future earning capacity, pain and suffering, and the impact on your quality of life. Every case is unique. Our attorneys evaluate all categories of damages, consult medical experts about your prognosis, and calculate a demand that reflects the true cost of your injury before negotiating with insurers.
While you can file a claim on your own, insurance companies have teams of adjusters and lawyers working to minimize payouts. Studies consistently show that represented claimants recover significantly more than unrepresented ones, even after attorney fees. Our attorneys handle all communication with insurers, gather evidence, coordinate medical care, and negotiate from a position of strength.
