Why Car Crashes Are Common in Wilkes-Barre
High-volume intersections, heavy commuter traffic, and unpredictable weather all contribute to the frequency of car accidents in Wilkes-Barre. Common causes include:
- Distracted or texting drivers
- Speeding near schools and shopping centers
- Reckless or aggressive driving on Route 309 or River Street
- Rear-end crashes during rush hour
- Commercial vehicle accidents along I-81
Crashes like these can leave victims facing long recoveries, lost income, and mounting medical bills. Insurance companies often try to pressure you into settling quickly—but you don’t have to face this process alone.
