Common Causes of Massachusetts Trucking Accidents

Christopher Earley | | General Injury Information

Trucking accidents that occur on Massachusetts roadways usually cause very serious and permanent personal injuries, and even death.  Massachusetts truck accidents can be legally complex in terms of determining the cause of the accident, and who was at fault for the accident. Although there are many causes of truck accidents, here are few that you should be aware of, which I found on the web site of Munley, Munley & Cartwright:

  • Aggressive drivers
  • Unrealistic schedules
  • Failure to inspect tires, brakes and lights
  • Tailgating
  • Long work-shifts
  • Driver fatigue
  • Cell phone use
  • Failure to install blind spot mirrors
  • Jackknifing
  • Speeding and ignoring reduced truck speed limits

Nearly twenty years ago when I opened my practice I decided to dedicate my career to advancing the rights of injury victims against powerful insurance companies. Personally, I find great satisfaction in helping good and honest people who have been wronged due to no fault of their own. I am really proud to have earned our clients’ hard-earned trust by running a law firm our clients can always count on to do the right thing.
