Experienced Personal Injury Attorneys Serving Olyphant, PA
Olyphant sits at the junction of Business Route 6 and the Casey Highway, two of Lackawanna County's most heavily traveled corridors. The convergence of commuter traffic, commercial vehicles, and residential streets near Route 247 and Blakely Street creates a high-risk environment for car accidents, motorcycle crashes, and truck collisions — especially during rush hours and winter weather conditions.
After an accident in Olyphant, insurance companies move quickly to minimize your claim. Adjusters may contact you within hours, asking for recorded statements and pressuring you to accept a fast settlement that covers only a fraction of your true damages. Our Olyphant personal injury attorneys know these tactics and counter them aggressively. We handle all communications with insurers, document the full extent of your injuries, and fight for the complete compensation you are owed.
Personal Injury Cases We Handle in Olyphant
Car Accidents
High-speed crashes on the Casey Highway, rear-end collisions along Business Route 6, and intersection accidents near Blakely Street — we reconstruct accident scenes, prove fault, and fight for maximum compensation from negligent drivers.
Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcyclists on the Casey Highway and Route 247 face devastating injuries when drivers fail to yield or check blind spots. We overcome anti-motorcycle bias and recover full damages for road rash, fractures, and traumatic brain injuries.
Truck Accidents
Commercial trucks on the Casey Highway and Business Route 6 cause catastrophic collisions. We obtain driver logs, black box data, and maintenance records to hold trucking companies and their insurers accountable for every violation.
Slip & Fall
Icy parking lots at businesses along Business Route 6, wet floors in local shops, and deteriorating sidewalks near the borough center injure Olyphant residents year-round. We prove the property owner's negligence caused your injury.
Medical Malpractice
When healthcare providers at regional hospitals and local clinics make errors that cause lasting harm, we secure the certificate of merit and retain board-certified experts to prove exactly how the standard of care was violated.
Wrongful Death
When a fatal highway crash, a drunk driving accident, or a reckless truck driver takes a loved one, we pursue both wrongful death and survival actions to recover funeral expenses, lost income, and compensation for your family's loss.

How We Counter Insurance Company Tactics After Your Accident
After an accident in Olyphant, the at-fault driver's insurance company has one goal: pay you as little as possible. Their adjusters are trained to call you quickly, ask leading questions designed to undermine your claim, and offer fast settlements before you understand the full extent of your injuries. They may even monitor your social media looking for posts they can use against you.
Our attorneys take over all communications with insurers from day one. We document your injuries thoroughly with medical experts, calculate the true long-term cost of your accident — including future medical care, lost earning capacity, and pain and suffering — and refuse to settle for anything less than fair compensation. If the insurance company will not offer a reasonable amount, we are fully prepared to take your case to trial.
"A driver ran a stop sign on Business Route 6 in Olyphant and hit my car broadside. The insurance company offered me a settlement that barely covered my ER visit. PA Attorney Source took over, got my medical records organized, brought in an accident reconstructionist, and negotiated a settlement five times higher than the initial offer. They never let the insurance company push me around."

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.

Frequently Asked Questions About Personal Injury Cases in Olyphant
First, call 911 to report the accident and request medical assistance if anyone is injured. Move to a safe location if possible. Exchange insurance and contact information with the other driver but do not admit fault. Take photographs of the accident scene, vehicle damage, and any visible injuries. Get contact information from witnesses. Seek medical attention even if you feel fine — some injuries are not immediately apparent. Then contact a personal injury attorney before speaking with any insurance company.
Pennsylvania offers drivers a choice between full tort and limited tort coverage. Full tort allows you to sue for pain and suffering after any accident. Limited tort restricts your ability to recover pain and suffering unless you sustain a 'serious injury' as defined by law — such as death, serious impairment of body function, or permanent disfigurement. Your insurance choice significantly affects your compensation rights, which is why having an attorney review your policy is important.
Pennsylvania's statute of limitations for personal injury claims is two years from the date of the accident. If you miss this deadline, you typically lose your right to file a lawsuit and recover compensation. However, evidence preservation should begin immediately — police reports, witness memories, and surveillance footage can all be lost over time. Contacting an attorney soon after your accident ensures critical evidence is secured.
Depending on your insurance coverage and the circumstances of the accident, you may recover compensation for medical expenses (current and future), lost wages and diminished earning capacity, pain and suffering, emotional distress, property damage, and loss of enjoyment of life. If the other driver was extremely reckless — such as driving drunk — punitive damages may also be available. Our attorneys calculate the full value of your claim before entering negotiations.
Almost never. Insurance companies typically make low initial offers hoping you will accept before understanding the full extent of your injuries and losses. Early offers rarely account for future medical treatment, long-term pain, or the complete impact on your earning capacity. Our attorneys evaluate the true value of your case, negotiate aggressively with insurers, and advise you on whether any offer is fair before you make a decision.
