Tractor-Trailer Accidents in Massachusetts

Tractor-trailer accidents are a serious concern across Massachusetts, especially on busy highways like the Massachusetts Turnpike. Thousands of commercial trucks travel through

the state daily, transporting goods to and from New England. Unfortunately, when an accident occurs involving such a large vehicle, the results are often devastating.

The size and weight of tractor-trailers make them far more dangerous than smaller vehicles in a collision. Even at moderate speeds, a crash with a truck can lead to severe injuries. Common causes include driver fatigue, speeding, improper lane changes, and mechanical failures. Weather conditions and heavy traffic also play a role in increasing risks on the road.

Victims of truck crashes often face catastrophic injuries. Spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, and broken bones are common. Many survivors require long hospital stays, surgeries, and months of rehabilitation. Beyond physical harm, victims may experience emotional trauma such as anxiety, nightmares, and depression. The financial toll can also be overwhelming, with medical bills, lost wages, and long-term care needs.

In Massachusetts, state and federal regulations govern how commercial trucks operate. Trucking companies must ensure their drivers follow strict hours-of-service rules and keep vehicles properly maintained. However, when companies or drivers cut corners, innocent people can pay the price. Victims of truck accidents have the right to pursue compensation for their losses, including medical expenses, lost income, and pain and suffering.

Because these cases are often complex, involving multiple parties and layers of insurance, it is essential to seek legal representation. A knowledgeable truck accident attorney can investigate the crash, gather critical evidence, and build a strong compensation case. Attorneys also manage communications with insurance companies, which may try to limit payouts. Acting quickly can make a significant difference in the outcome of a claim.
