It costs absolutely nothing to see if you have a case
Unlike typical car accidents, crashes with large commercial trucks often result in severe consequences for people in smaller vehicles due to the trucks’ immense size and weight.
A fully loaded tractor-trailer can weigh 80,000 pounds or more, while a standard car weighs around 4,000 pounds.Â
Due to this huge difference, the force in a truck crash is immense and frequently results in severe damage to the smaller vehicle and catastrophic injuries to its occupants.
Trucks also need much more room to stop, making accidents more likely if a driver isn’t paying close attention.
People hurt in Massachusetts truck accidents often suffer serious harm. Common injuries include:
Beyond the physical pain, a serious truck wreck causes deep emotional distress. You might feel constant fear, anxiety, or stress. Dealing with injuries, medical treatments, and financial worries can cause immense strain on families.Â
Figuring out who caused a truck accident is often complicated. It might not just be the truck driver’s fault. Several parties could share the blame, and a thorough investigation is needed.Â
A Massachusetts truck accident lawyer can investigate the cause of your accident and determine who needs to be held accountable.
Often, the truck driver’s actions contribute to the crash. Common examples of driver negligence include:
Proving driver error requires evidence like police reports, witness statements, and sometimes data from the truck’s recording devices.
The trucking company that employs the driver or owns the truck can also be held responsible if it:
Trucking companies have a duty to operate safely. When they cut corners on safety, they put everyone on the road at risk.
Sometimes, other companies share responsibility. For example, if a defective truck part (like faulty brakes or a bad tire) caused the crash, the part manufacturer could be liable.Â
If cargo wasn’t loaded correctly and shifted, causing the driver to lose control, the cargo loading company might be partly at fault.Â
A Massachusetts truck accident lawyer can identify and target all responsible parties to help you get full compensation.
Soon after the accident, you’ll likely hear from the trucking company’s insurance adjuster. Be careful when speaking with them. Remember, their job is to protect their company and pay as little money as possible.
The trucking company’s insurer is not on your side. Although they may sound friendly, their goal is to minimize or deny your claim.Â
They might ask for a recorded statement, hoping you’ll say something that hurts your case. They could offer a quick settlement that seems like a lot of money, but doesn’t cover your long-term medical needs or lost income.Â
Don’t give a recorded statement or sign anything without talking to a Massachusetts truck accident attorney first.
Truck accident cases involve complex state and federal trucking laws (like those from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration or FMCSA) that don’t apply to regular car accidents. Handling these cases requires specific knowledge.
A truck accident attorney in Massachusetts knows how to gather crucial evidence unique to truck crashes, such as:
This evidence is vital for proving negligence, and your attorney needs to obtain and analyze this information effectively to calculate your damages.Â
If another party’s negligence caused the truck accident that injured you, the law allows you to seek payment for your losses.Â
This may include money for:
Massachusetts uses a modified comparative fault rule. This means you might still be able to recover compensation even if you were partially responsible for the truck accident, as long as you were not found to be more than 50% at fault.
If you were partly at fault, your potential compensation would be reduced by your percentage of fault.
Massachusetts has a time limit, called the statute of limitations, for filing a personal injury lawsuit. Generally, you have three years from the date of the truck accident to file your claim in court.
While that might seem like a long time, investigating a truck accident takes time. The timeline may be much shorter if a government truck was involved.
Seek legal help as soon as possible to preserve evidence and protect your rights before the deadline expires.
If someone else was responsible for the truck accident that injured you, you may be able to recover compensation for various losses:
Taking action to understand your legal rights is the first step toward getting fair compensation and holding the responsible parties accountable.Â
