We Can File a Compensation Case After Your Massachusetts Collision
The financial impact of an 18-wheeler crash can be overwhelming. We can file a claim and fight for compensation for your damages. Monetary compensation may be available for your:
- Vehicle damage: Your car, truck, or van may have needed repairs or to be replaced entirely after the crash. We will fight to recover these costs fully.
- Lost income: Most truck accident victims must take time off work. When you are not working, you cannot make income. We will pursue compensation for your lost income.
- Lost earning capacity: Severe injuries can lead to disabilities and loss of functioning. If you cannot work at your full capacity because of your injuries, we will work to recover compensation for your diminished earning capacity.
- Medical costs: Whether you suffered lacerations, a traumatic brain injury, organ damage, broken bones, or other types of injuries, your medical needs may be reimbursable. You may be entitled to reimbursement for the medical costs you already incurred, such as emergency room visits and ambulance fees, as well as the medical expenses you will encounter in the future, such as rehabilitative care.
- Non-economic damages: Massachusetts allows injured parties to pursue financial compensation for their non-financial damages. These may include mental anguish, emotional distress, and physical pain and suffering caused by the crash.
- Wrongful death damages: Monetary damages will never come close to making up for the death of your spouse, parent, child, or other loved one. However, recovering damages through a wrongful death case may give you a sense of justice and financial relief. Compensation may be available for the loss of your loved one’s income, services, care, assistance, protection, society, and companionship. You may also be entitled to compensation for funeral and burial expenses.

Liability for a Massachusetts 18-Wheeler Truck Accident
Liability is another term for legal responsibility. To build a case for damages, we will need to identify the liable party and prove that the at-fault party’s negligence caused the crash. The potentially liable parties for a commercial truck accident include:
- The truck driver: Truck drivers who violate the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) limits on driving time and rest breaks may be too sleepy to drive safely. Speeding, intoxicated driving, distracted driving, and other types of negligent driving may also lead to a crash.
- The trucking company: The trucking company may have acted negligently by failing to hire qualified drivers or failing to ensure trucks were adequately maintained.
- The party that loaded truck cargo: There are rules regarding how truck cargo must be loaded and safely secured. If shifting or loose cargo caused your crash, the party who loaded the cargo might be to blame.
- The manufacturer or designer of a defective truck part: In some cases, a truck accident is caused by a defective truck part. The company that designed, created, or sold a defective part might be liable for damages if the defect led to a crash.
We Can Prove Liability in Your Truck Accident Claim With Evidence
Victims of truck accidents do not need to gather evidence themselves. Our commercial trucking accident lawyers can help you build your case by collecting evidence such as:
- The police report
- Evidence of the injuries you suffered, such as a spinal cord injury, broken bone, or traumatic brain injury (TBI)
- Your medical bills
- Statements from bystanders who saw the accident
- Statements from trucking industry expert witnesses
- Photos and videos from the accident scene
If you already have any of this evidence in your possession, you can bring it to your attorney as they build your case. However, our team will never ask you to gather evidence on your own. You can leave this legal task to us.
