Route 6 through Archbald is one of the main arteries in northern Lackawanna County, connecting Scranton to Carbondale and the communities beyond. It carries local traffic, commercial vehicles, and through-traffic at speeds that make collisions serious when they happen. Route 247 through the borough adds another road where accidents occur. For Archbald residents, the roads in and around the community are where accidents most often happen — and when they do, the injuries and financial consequences can be significant.
Munley Law’s Scranton office handles car accident claims for clients in Archbald and throughout Lackawanna County. We work on a contingency fee basis — no upfront cost, no fee unless we recover compensation for you.

Seek medical attention promptly. Even if you feel okay immediately after a crash, injuries like concussions and soft tissue damage often take time to produce obvious symptoms. A medical record from the day of the accident is also important evidence in your claim.
Document the accident scene. Photographs of vehicle positions, road conditions, and damage are useful evidence, particularly if liability becomes disputed.
File a police report. Pennsylvania requires reports for accidents involving injury or significant property damage.
Speak with a lawyer before giving statements to insurers. The other driver’s insurance company has adjusters trained to minimize payouts. An early statement can be used to reduce or deny your claim.
What a Car Accident Claim Can Cover
Compensation in a Pennsylvania car accident claim can include:
- Medical expenses — emergency treatment, hospitalization, surgery, physical therapy, and ongoing care
- Lost wages — income lost during recovery, and reduced earning capacity if the injury affects your ability to work long-term
- Pain and suffering — compensation for physical pain and the emotional impact of the injury
- Property damage — repair or replacement of your vehicle and any other property damaged in the crash
The full value of a claim depends on the severity of the injury, the extent of fault, and the insurance coverage involved. An attorney can assess what your claim is worth before you accept any settlement offer.
How We Handle Archbald Car Accident Claims
We investigate the accident thoroughly — gathering the police report, identifying available surveillance footage, and working with accident reconstruction experts when fault is contested. We handle negotiations with insurance companies and, when necessary, pursue your claim through litigation.
Pennsylvania is a choice no-fault state. Depending on your coverage, your initial medical benefits may come from your own policy, but you may also have the right to file a full liability claim against the at-fault driver. Lackawanna County car accident claims are subject to Pennsylvania’s two-year statute of limitations.
