									<h2>Frequently Asked Questions About Truck Accidents in Wilkes-Barre</h2>

<h3>What should I do immediately after a truck accident in Wilkes-Barre?</h3>
<p>Call 911, get medical attention, and take photos if you can do so safely. Avoid speaking with insurance adjusters before consulting an attorney. <strong>O’Donnell Law Offices</strong> can step in immediately to preserve black-box data and trucking company records that are often deleted within days.</p>

<h3>Who can be held responsible for a truck accident in Pennsylvania?</h3>
<p>Liability may extend beyond the driver — including the trucking company, maintenance contractors, cargo loaders, and vehicle manufacturers. Our attorneys know how to uncover every responsible party to maximize your compensation.</p>

<h3>How long do I have to file a lawsuit after a truck crash?</h3>
<p>Under Pennsylvania law, you typically have <strong>two years</strong> from the date of the accident to file a personal injury claim. However, starting sooner helps ensure key evidence and witness statements aren’t lost.</p>

<h3>Can I still recover damages if I was partly at fault?</h3>
<p>Yes. Pennsylvania uses a <strong>modified comparative negligence</strong> system. You can recover compensation if you were less than 51% at fault, though your award may be reduced based on your share of responsibility. We’ll work to ensure fault isn’t unfairly assigned to you.</p>

<h3>How much does it cost to hire O’Donnell Law Offices?</h3>
<p>Our firm charges <strong>no upfront fees</strong> and only collects payment when we win your case. That means you get the power of an experienced legal team without financial risk.</p>

<p>After ensuring everyone’s safety and calling 911, seek medical attention — even if you feel fine. Then, if possible, take photos of the scene, gather contact information from witnesses, and avoid giving detailed statements to insurance representatives before speaking with a lawyer.<br>O’Donnell Law Offices can step in right away to protect your rights and handle communication with trucking companies and insurers.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Why are truck accident cases more complicated than car accidents?</strong></h3>
<p><!-- /wp:heading --></p>
<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>Truck crashes often involve <strong>multiple parties</strong> — including the driver, trucking company, cargo loaders, and vehicle manufacturers. Each may have its own insurance policy and legal defense team.<br>Our attorneys understand how to <strong>navigate these layers of responsibility</strong> and hold every negligent party accountable.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>How long do I have to file a truck accident claim in Pennsylvania?</strong></h3>
<p><!-- /wp:heading --></p>
<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>In most cases, Pennsylvania law gives you <strong>two years</strong> from the date of the crash to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, evidence and witness memories fade quickly, so contacting a lawyer as soon as possible gives you the strongest chance of success.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Can I still recover compensation if I was partially at fault for the crash?</strong></h3>
<p><!-- /wp:heading --></p>
<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>Yes. Pennsylvania follows a <strong>modified comparative negligence rule</strong>, meaning you can still recover damages if you were <strong>less than 51% at fault</strong>. Your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of fault.<br>An experienced attorney can help ensure blame isn’t unfairly shifted onto you by insurance companies.</p>
