Route 6 between Scranton and Carbondale carries more commercial truck traffic than most local roads in Lackawanna County. Delivery vehicles, fuel tankers, flatbed haulers, and other commercial vehicles use this corridor regularly, and when a truck is involved in a collision, the injuries are almost always more serious than in a typical car accident. The size and weight disparity between a commercial vehicle and a passenger car leaves little margin.
Munley Law serves truck accident victims in Archbald and throughout Lackawanna County from our Scranton office. Our Scranton truck accident attorneys are board-certified in truck accident law — one of only a handful of firms in Pennsylvania with that level of specialization.

Commercial trucks are subject to Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration regulations that govern driver hours, vehicle maintenance, weight limits, and carrier oversight. When a driver or carrier violates those rules and a crash results, that violation is often central to the liability case.
Trucking companies typically respond quickly to serious accidents, sending investigators to the scene to preserve evidence in their favor. Getting legal representation early is important — it allows your attorney to independently preserve evidence, obtain the truck’s electronic logging device (ELD) data, and identify all potentially liable parties before that evidence disappears.
In a truck accident case, liability can extend beyond the driver to the trucking company, a cargo loader, or a maintenance contractor, depending on how the accident occurred.
