Types of Trailer Hitch Accident Cases We Handle

Loose/Detached Trailer Accidents

Ged Lawyers builds claims around improperly secured hitches, missing safety chains, and losses caused by a trailer separating from the towing vehicle.

Runaway trailer claims may involve unguided trailers crossing lanes on highways such as I-90 and I-95, striking following vehicles, or causing multi-vehicle crashes at highway speed.

Boat and recreational towing claims often involve rental equipment, improper hitching, or trailers that detach during transport to lakes, coastal launches, or campgrounds.

Commercial trailer claims may involve semi-trucks, dump trucks, fifth-wheel coupling failures, or negligent trucking company maintenance.

Product liability claims may involve defective hitch pins, couplers, safety chains, or towing equipment that failed as designed or was improperly manufactured.

These claims often involve rear-end collisions where a tow hitch bypassed a vehicle’s bumper, or injuries caused by unsecured cargo and improperly loaded trailers.

  • What is the time limit to file a trailer hitch accident lawsuit in Massachusetts, and how long after an accident can you sue?
What are the safety chain laws for towing a trailer in Massachusetts?
Massachusetts trailer towing regulations, consistent with federal safety standards, generally require safety chains or cables rated to the trailer's gross weight, crossed beneath the tongue so they can catch a detached trailer, and properly connected to the towing vehicle in addition to the primary hitch coupling. Requirements can vary based on trailer weight, type, and whether the tow is commercial or personal, so current Registry of Motor Vehicles (RMV) and federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration rules should be confirmed for your specific situation. A failure to follow these requirements is often central evidence in a hitch failure claim.
