Truck, 18 Wheeler, and Big Rig Accidents
Middlesex County Truck Accident Attorney
Whether you are traveling on I-93, I-95, I-495, I-90, Route 128, Route 1 or on any one of the dozens of highways in the Commonwealth, you must share the road with trucks of all shapes and sizes. Tractor trailer trucks, semi-trailer trucks, 18-Wheelers, box trucks, panel trucks, buses, gasoline tankers, delivery vans, tow trucks, construction vehicles, fire trucks - you name it and they're out there! More often than not trucks are used in the routine course of business in which truck drivers are forced to work longer and longer hours and adhere to stricter and stricter delivery deadlines. Given this fact, it should be of no surprise that truck accidents, often violent and life threatening, are common in today's fast paced society.

- You sustained a permanent disfigurement (i.e.: scar);
- You lost all or part of a body member;
- You lost sight or hearing;
- You sustained a bone fracture; or

- Pain and Suffering
