Massachusetts Truck Accident Lawyers

If you have been the victim in an accident with an 18-wheel or tractor-trailer truck, you may have sustained a serious or catastrophic injury. Because of the size and weight of these very large trucks, many truck accident victims suffer from:

• Amputations
• Paralysis
• Head & brain injuries
• Back & spinal cord injuries
• Broken or fractured bones
• Scarring and disfigurement
• Crushed limbs and organs
• Burns
• Permanent disability
• Psychological distress

If you have been hurt in a truck accident, you are entitled to financial compensation if the accident was caused by another person's negligent or reckless actions. Truck drivers and/or truck companies will be legally liable for damages if they engaged in any of the following actions, which could be considered negligent:

• Falling asleep at the wheel
• Driving under the influence (DWI/DUI)
• Reckless driving
• Failure to yield
• Failure to properly maintain the truck
• Improper loading or unloading
• Failure to follow traffic signs/signals
• Failure to repair or fix broken equipment
