Massachusetts highways like I-90, I-95, and I-495 carry heavy commercial truck traffic. When a fully loaded tractor-trailer collides with a passenger vehicle, the size and weight disparity often produces catastrophic injuries.
Truck crashes have distinct causes: driver fatigue, violations of federal hours-of-service rules, improper loading, inadequate maintenance, speeding, and distracted or impaired driving. Each of these points to potential negligence — and to different responsible parties.
Liability in a truck case can extend beyond the driver to the trucking company, the cargo loader, the maintenance contractor, and even the manufacturer of a defective part. Federal regulations govern commercial trucking, and violations can be strong evidence of fault.
Trucking companies and their insurers often dispatch investigators to the scene within hours. Evidence like the truck's electronic logging device, maintenance records, and the driver's logs can disappear or be overwritten quickly, so prompt legal action to preserve it is critical.
