Truck Accidents in Maine

A truck accident can have a devastating impact on your family, particularly if you have sustained serious injuries. Regrettably, across the United States, thousands of individuals suffer severe harm due to auto accidents that occur within the state. Truck accidents, in particular, often result in significant injuries for those involved.

These massive vehicles are capable of causing extensive damage to anything they contact. As a result, victims of truck accidents frequently experience severe injuries, such as traumatic brain injuries, severe spinal cord injuries, internal organ injuries, severe compound fractures, severe cuts and lacerations, burn injuries leading to permanent scarring, permanent disfigurements, and posttraumatic stress disorder.

In the aftermath of a truck accident, you may have the option to take legal action against the responsible party. Unlike other collisions, truck accidents can involve multiple liable parties. The truck driver may be held accountable if their negligence contributed to the accident. If the driver was working for a company at the time and the company was aware of the driver's negligence, they may also be held liable. Additionally, if the accident was caused by defective cargo, the cargo company may assume liability.
