Car drivers, motorcyclists, pedestrians, and bicyclists are at a disadvantage when they are involved in motor vehicle accidents involving large trucks. Large trucks can weigh anywhere from 10,000 to 80,000 pounds, and a collision with a big rig truck, a tractor-trailer, an 18-wheeler, a semi-truck, a garbage truck, or a delivery truck is usually catastrophic if not fatal.

Our Massachusetts truck accident lawyers have a combined 40 years experience fighting for the rights of Massachusetts truck accident victims and their families to receive personal injury or wrongful death recovery from trucking companies and their insurance companies. Altman & Altman LLP has recovered millions of dollars in settlements and verdicts for our clients injured in the Greater Boston Area and throughout Massachusetts.

Truck Accident Cases and Injuries
Many trucking companies will send a representative to the accident scene immediately to try minimizing liability and get the injured party to prematurely agree to a settlement or sign away their rights to file a truck accident lawsuit. It is important that you contact our Boston truck crash law firm before you speak with a truck company representative.

Altman & Altman LLP is familiar with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration and state regulations that govern trucking companies, and we know how to prove that truck driver negligence was the cause of your injury accident. We know how to examine the truck driver’s log and other necessary records to determine whether a trucker had been driving longer than the legally allowed number of hours when your injury accident occurred or if the truck did not undergo a required maintenance check or repairs.

We will work with truck accident experts that can examine the truck and determine whether the accident happened because an engine malfunctioned or the truck lacked the proper blind spot mirrors or was overloaded with too much cargo. We will interview the truck driver and all witnesses to determine if the truck driver was speeding, tired, distracted, tailgating, driving aggressively, talking on the cellular phone, or driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

We can send accident reconstruction experts to the scene to gather and examine evidence to prove your claim. If the truck driver, the truck company, its insurance company, or any other liable parties are unwilling to negotiate a fair and full settlement for your injuries and losses, Altman & Altman LLP will file a Massachusetts truck accident lawsuit and fight for your financial recovery in court.

Truck accident injuries can be catastrophic injuries. Traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, severed limbs, broken bones, and massive internal injuries will likely require expensive surgeries, medications, physical therapy, and ongoing rehabilitation to maximize any chance of recovery. You will very likely lose wages because you will have to take time off from work to heal, and your motor vehicle will likely have suffered extensive property damage in the crash.

A senior firm partner at Altman & Altman LLP will personally oversee every aspect of your case. If the truck company and its insurance company are unwilling to negotiate a suitable settlement, we will file a Massachusetts truck accident lawsuit and fight for your recovery in court.
