Experienced Personal Injury Attorneys Serving Pittston, PA
Pittston's location near the confluence of the Susquehanna and Lackawanna rivers places it along several major traffic routes including Route 315 and the Pittston Expressway. High commuter volumes, commercial truck traffic, and aging infrastructure create accident-prone conditions that put drivers and pedestrians at risk every day. When you are injured in one of these crashes, the at-fault driver's insurance company moves quickly to minimize your claim.
Our Pittston personal injury lawyers move faster. We lock down evidence, obtain police and accident reports, document your injuries with treating physicians, and calculate the true financial impact of your accident. We present insurers with a demand backed by facts and medical opinions — and if they will not pay what the case is worth, we file suit in Luzerne County Court without hesitation.
Personal Injury Cases We Handle in Pittston
Car Accidents
Collisions on Route 315, the Pittston Expressway, and Main Street intersections — we gather accident reports, witness accounts, and camera footage to prove fault and hold insurance companies accountable for your damages.
Truck Accidents
Pittston's bridge crossings and expressway access attract heavy commercial traffic. When truck driver fatigue, overloading, or mechanical failures cause crashes, we pursue claims against all responsible parties including the carrier and its insurer.
Motorcycle Accidents
Riders navigating Pittston's narrow streets and bridge approaches face hazards that car drivers often overlook. We prove motorist negligence through physical evidence and expert testimony, countering insurer bias against motorcyclists.
Slip & Fall
Aging sidewalks, poorly lit parking areas, and winter ice accumulation in Pittston create fall hazards. We investigate maintenance records and prove property owners neglected their responsibility to keep premises safe.
Medical Malpractice
When doctors, surgeons, or nurses at area medical facilities make preventable errors that injure Pittston patients, we work with medical experts to prove negligence and pursue full compensation for the harm caused.
Wrongful Death
When negligence claims a life in Pittston, we help grieving families seek justice through wrongful death actions. We pursue compensation for lost income, burial expenses, and the emotional devastation of losing a loved one.

Why Early Legal Action Matters After a Pittston Accident
Insurance adjusters contact accident victims within hours — sometimes before you have even left the hospital. They record conversations, request broad medical releases, and push early settlements designed to close the file cheaply. The sooner you have an attorney, the sooner those tactics stop working.
Our team steps in immediately: we handle every insurance call, protect your medical privacy, and ensure that the evidence needed to prove your case is preserved. Pittston clients who contact us early consistently see stronger outcomes because nothing is lost in the critical first days after an accident.
"I was hit by an uninsured driver on Main Street in Pittston and thought I had no options. PA Attorney Source found coverage through my own underinsured motorist policy that I did not even know about. They handled everything from the medical paperwork to the final settlement and I received compensation for my broken arm and three months of missed work."

Pennsylvania Injury Laws That Affect Your Pittston 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 Pittston
Call 911 and request medical assistance right away. Document the scene with photos of vehicle damage, road layout, and weather conditions. Get the other driver's insurance and contact information plus witness details. Avoid admitting fault and do not give any insurance company a recorded statement until you have spoken with a personal injury attorney.
When you purchased auto insurance, you chose either full tort or limited tort. Full tort lets you pursue all damages including pain and suffering. Limited tort restricts your ability to recover non-economic damages unless your injuries qualify as 'serious' under Pennsylvania law. Our attorneys assess your policy and injuries to determine the strongest legal strategy.
Depending on your case, you may recover medical expenses, lost wages, future medical costs, pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of life enjoyment, and property damage. For cases involving egregious negligence such as drunk driving, punitive damages may also be available.
Pennsylvania allows two years from the date of injury for most personal injury claims. Evidence gathering should begin immediately because key proof like traffic camera footage, witness accounts, and physical evidence at the scene can be lost within weeks. Early legal representation protects your claim.
No. The other driver's insurance company works to minimize what they pay you. Their adjusters are trained negotiators who use your own words against you. Let our attorneys handle all communication with insurance companies so your rights stay protected and nothing you say can be used to reduce your claim.
