Handling All Types Of Truck Accidents

Our lawyers have experience in handling all types of semitruck accident situations:
- Overloaded trucks and falling debris: Trucks that are overloaded with cargo or loaded improperly are at risk of causing accidents. Falling cargo is also a hazard to passing motorists.
- Garbage truck accidents: Garbage truck drivers are often not paying attention to the cars around them. This can lead to serious garbage truck collisions with other vehicles. Garbage falling off of vehicles can also create a dangerous situation for other drivers.
- Truck driver negligence: It truck drivers are speeding, driving recklessly, driving while fatigued or otherwise carelessly operating the truck, their driver negligence can cause serious accidents and injuries.
- Brake and tire failure: Lack of maintenance or defective parts can cause issues with braking or tires. Large trucks need extra space and time to brake safely, which makes brake and tire failure particularly dangerous.
- Truck driver fatigue: Due to tight deadlines, many truck drivers face pressure to drive without enough sleep. Trucking companies or truck drivers that violate regulations for rest hours may be liable for accidents that occur.
- Inadequate truck maintenance: If trucking companies do not maintain their vehicles, the inadequate truck maintenance can contribute to fatal crashes.

Our firm has decades of combined experience fighting personal injury lawsuits, many involving trucks and car accidents on state highways like Route 290, Route 2 and Route 495.

Representing People Across Massachusetts Injured By Commercial Vehicles
Auto accidents become more complicated when commercial vehicles of any kind are involved. Whether the vehicle is a UPS truck, a moving van or a company pickup, it is important to understand your legal rights and options. Insurance companies will fight to avoid paying any claim for damages. They may even suggest you were at fault and owe them. It is wise to let your lawyer sort out the details and advise you on how to proceed.
Our commercial vehicle accident attorneys represent people who were injured by commercial vehicles as well as those who were injured on the job while driving a commercial vehicle. If you were injured by a vehicle that belonged to a company of any kind, we may be able to help you receive financial compensation from the firm and its insurance company.
Injured While Driving On The Job?
If you were driving a company vehicle as part of your job duties and were injured in an accident, we can help you receive workers’ compensation benefits. Our lawyers will also analyze your case to determine if you may be able to receive additional compensation. If the injury was caused by someone other than another employee of your company, we may be able to file a lawsuit against that person or organization and recover financial compensation for your damages.
