Scranton Truck Accident Lawyer – O’Donnell Law Offices

At O’Donnell Law Offices, we represent victims of truck accidents throughout Lackawanna County and beyond. We know that in truck crashes, the trucking companies, their insurers, and their attorneys mobilize immediately—collecting evidence, lining up defenses, and working to protect their interests. You need an experienced team fighting for you from day one.

Why Truck Accidents Are Different (and Harder)

• Massive disparities in resources: A semitrailer or 18-wheeler may weigh 20 to 30 times more than your car. The trucking company has investigators, defense lawyers, and specialists. You need someone to level the playing field.
• Complex liability chains: The driver, trucking company, vehicle owner, cargo loader, maintenance provider, broker, and insurer may all have blame—or will try to shift it.
• Aggressive early defense tactics: Within hours of a crash, trucking interests often send attorneys or claims adjusters to the scene, collect black box data, and pressure victims to make statements.
• Regulatory issues and hidden evidence: Federal rules (FMCSA), driver logs, inspection reports, and ELD data are all relevant—and the defendant’s side may try to suppress or destroy records.
• Severe injuries and long recovery: Because of the size and force involved, truck accidents frequently cause catastrophic injuries, permanent impairment, or wrongful death.

Our Approach in Scranton Truck Crash Cases

1. Immediate evidence preservation: From witness statements to video footage, ELD data, and maintenance records, our team acts quickly to secure crucial evidence before it disappears.
2. Forensic investigation & reconstruction: We work with reconstruction experts, engineers, and medical specialists to determine what happened and who is responsible.
3. Targeting all liable parties: Even if the trucking company blames the driver alone, we look deeper—to maintenance shops, cargo brokers, or third-party vendors who may share liability.
4. Negotiation backed by trial readiness: Insurance and trucking defense attorneys respect a firm that’s ready to try the case. We fight for fair settlements, but we’re prepared for trial if necessary.
5. Client advocacy, every step: We guide you through medical care, lost wages, and long-term impacts. You’re not alone in this process.
