How much does a Wilkes-Barre personal injury consultation cost?

Consultations are free and confidential. Quinlan Law Group works on a contingency-fee basis — there is no fee unless we recover money for you.

What is the deadline to file an injury lawsuit in Pennsylvania?

Most Pennsylvania personal injury claims must be filed within two years of the injury, but exceptions and shorter notice periods can apply (especially in cases involving government entities or medical malpractice). Contact us promptly so deadlines are protected.

What types of cases does the firm take in Wilkes-Barre?

We focus on serious injury and wrongful-death matters: truck and commercial-vehicle crashes, wrongful death, motorcycle accidents, medical malpractice, and construction accidents.

How long do I have to file a truck accident lawsuit in Pennsylvania?

Pennsylvania's statute of limitations for personal injury is generally two years from the date of the crash (42 Pa. C.S. § 5524). Wrongful death claims are also two years, measured from the date of death. There are narrow exceptions, but evidence in trucking cases starts disappearing within days — call us immediately.

Who can be sued after a tractor-trailer crash?

Liability often extends beyond the driver to the motor carrier, the truck's owner, the shipper, the broker who arranged the load, maintenance contractors, parts manufacturers, and sometimes the company that loaded or secured the cargo. Identifying every responsible party is critical to recovering full value.

What is the 'black box' in a commercial truck and why does it matter?

Modern tractors carry an Engine Control Module (ECM) and Electronic Logging Device (ELD) that record speed, braking, throttle position, hours of service, and pre-crash data. This evidence is the strongest objective record of what happened — and federal rules only require carriers to retain it for limited periods, so a preservation letter must go out fast.

What if the truck driver was an independent contractor?

Motor carriers often label drivers as 'independent contractors' to avoid liability, but FMCSA regulations and Pennsylvania law allow injured victims to hold the carrier vicariously responsible in most cases, particularly when the driver was hauling under the carrier's DOT authority.

How much is my Pennsylvania truck accident case worth?

Truck cases routinely settle for six and seven figures, and catastrophic-injury and wrongful-death cases regularly exceed that. Value depends on the severity of injuries, the available insurance, the strength of liability evidence, and the venue. We give you a candid valuation after we review the police report, medical records, and insurance disclosures.

Do I have to pay anything up front to hire your firm?

No. We handle every Pennsylvania truck accident case on a contingency fee — you pay nothing unless and until we recover money for you.
