Our Massachusetts truck accident attorneys fight for seriously injured crash victims

Truck accident cases are more complex than typical car accident claims. Multiple parties may be liable — the driver, the trucking company, the cargo loader, and the vehicle manufacturer. Federal and state regulations governing commercial vehicles add another layer of complexity. Larson Law has the experience and resources to handle these cases effectively and pursue every available avenue of recovery.

Common Causes of Truck Accidents in Massachusetts

Commercial truck accidents are often caused by a combination of driver error, company negligence, and regulatory violations. Common causes include:

Driver fatigue — Federal hours-of-service regulations exist for a reason; when trucking companies pressure drivers to meet delivery schedules, fatigue becomes a deadly hazard
Distracted driving — Phone use, GPS operation, and other distractions are especially dangerous at truck speeds
Improper loading — Overloaded or improperly secured cargo can shift during transit, causing the driver to lose control
Mechanical failures — Brake failures, tire blowouts, and other equipment failures caused by poor maintenance
Speeding and aggressive driving — Commercial trucks require significantly longer stopping distances; speeding dramatically increases crash severity
Failure to check blind spots — Trucks have large blind spots on all four sides that drivers must actively manage during lane changes and turns
Drug and alcohol use — Federal law requires drug and alcohol testing, but violations still occur
Inadequate driver training — Trucking companies that cut corners on training put everyone on the road at risk

Identifying all contributing causes — and all responsible parties — is critical to maximizing your recovery in a truck accident case.

Who Can Be Held Liable in a Massachusetts Truck Accident?

One of the most important distinctions in truck accident cases is that multiple parties may share liability for a crash. Potentially responsible parties include:

The truck driver — For negligent, distracted, fatigued, or impaired driving
The trucking company — For negligent hiring, inadequate training, pressuring drivers to violate hours-of-service rules, or failure to maintain vehicles
The cargo loading company — If improperly loaded or secured cargo contributed to the crash
The truck manufacturer or parts supplier — If a defective vehicle component such as brakes or tires played a role
Third-party maintenance companies — If outsourced maintenance was performed negligently

Trucking companies have legal teams and insurance adjusters who begin investigating immediately after an accident — often before victims have a chance to consult an attorney. Acting quickly is essential. Larson Law moves fast to preserve black box data, driver logs, maintenance records, and other critical evidence that can disappear rapidly.

What Compensation Is Available After a Massachusetts Truck Accident?

Because truck accidents frequently cause severe injuries and substantial losses, the damages available can be significant. You may be entitled to recover:

Medical expenses: Emergency care, surgery, hospitalization, rehabilitation, long-term care, and all future medical costs related to your injuries
Lost wages: Income you were unable to earn while recovering from your injuries
Loss of earning capacity: Long-term or permanent impact on your ability to work and earn income
Pain and suffering: Compensation for physical pain and the emotional toll of your injuries and recovery
Permanent disability or disfigurement: Additional compensation for lasting consequences of your injuries
Property damage: Repair or replacement of your vehicle and personal property

Commercial trucks are typically covered by insurance policies with much higher limits than passenger vehicles — often $1 million or more. This means there is typically more insurance coverage available to compensate serious injuries. Our attorneys have the experience to fight for a full recovery against well-funded trucking companies and their insurers.

Questions people often ask when searching for a Massachusetts personal injury lawyer

What should I do immediately after a truck accident in Massachusetts?

Get to safety, call 911, and seek medical attention immediately. Do not move if you suspect serious injuries — wait for emergency services. Document the scene with photos if possible. Get the truck driver’s name, license, and carrier information. Do not give recorded statements to any insurance company before consulting an attorney. Call Larson Law as soon as possible.

Why is it important to act quickly after a truck accident?

Trucking companies often dispatch accident reconstruction teams and attorneys within hours of a crash to protect their interests. Critical evidence — including the truck’s electronic logging device (ELD) data, dashcam footage, GPS records, and driver inspection reports — can be lost or destroyed quickly. We act immediately to preserve this evidence and put the trucking company on notice of their legal obligation to retain it.

Can I sue the trucking company, not just the driver?

Yes, and in many cases the trucking company is the more significant defendant. Under the legal principle of respondeat superior, a trucking company can be held liable for its driver’s negligence during the course of employment. The company may also be independently liable for negligent hiring, inadequate training, failure to enforce safety regulations, or poor vehicle maintenance.

What federal regulations apply to commercial truck drivers?

Commercial truck drivers and trucking companies are governed by Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulations, which include hours-of-service rules limiting driving time to prevent fatigue, mandatory drug and alcohol testing requirements, vehicle inspection and maintenance standards, and cargo securement rules. Violations of these regulations can be powerful evidence of negligence.

How long do I have to file a truck accident lawsuit in Massachusetts?

In most Massachusetts truck accident cases, you have three years from the date of the crash to file a lawsuit. However, given how quickly critical evidence can disappear in truck cases, do not wait. Contact us as soon as possible after your accident.

What if I was partly at fault for the truck accident?

Massachusetts uses modified comparative negligence. You can still recover even if you were partly at fault, as long as you were not more than 50% responsible. Your recovery will be reduced proportionally. Trucking company defense teams often try to shift blame to victims — we anticipate and counter those tactics.

How much is a truck accident case worth in Massachusetts?

Truck accident cases frequently involve serious injuries that result in significant damages — high medical bills, lost income, long-term disability, and substantial pain and suffering. Commercial trucking policies often carry $1 million or more in coverage. After a free consultation, we can give you a more informed assessment of what your case may be worth.

Do truck accident cases go to trial?

Many truck accident cases settle before trial, often because the evidence of trucking company negligence is strong and the stakes of going to trial are high for insurers. However, if a fair settlement cannot be reached, we are fully prepared to take your case to trial and fight for what you deserve.
