Do You Need to Hire a Quincy Truck Accident Attorney?

Truck accident cases are unique in that they involve the vicarious liability of the trucking company – not only the liability of an individual driver. Going up against a trucking company can unfortunately be more difficult for an individual due to the extensive resources available to the company. Hiring a lawyer is the most effective way to even the playing field and increase your odds of obtaining fair compensation for your injuries, losses, and damages. Your lawyer can negotiate with the truck company’s insurance provider for you, protecting your rights along the way. It is especially important to hire an attorney if you have serious injuries or have lost a loved one.

Common Causes of Trucking Accidents in Quincy

Identifying who or what caused your Quincy trucking accident might be necessary if your injuries are severe enough to make you eligible for financial relief outside of Massachusetts’ no-fault insurance system. Otherwise, the no-fault law will allow you to file a claim with your own insurance company without having to prove fault. In our years of experience, Sweeney Merrigan Law, LLP has come to recognize the most common causes of truck accidents in the state.

• Driver fatigue
• Impaired drivers
• Broken roadway rules
• Speeding
• Violating federal trucking laws
• Unsafe or poorly maintained trucks
• Improperly loaded cargo
• Use of the wrong braking methods
• Trucking product liability
• Bad roads and weather

Our truck accident attorneys in Quincy may be able to identify what caused your recent truck accident through an analysis of evidence and facts such as a police report, eyewitness testimony, pictures and videos, crash reconstruction, and opinions from an expert. Once we identify the crash cause, we can name the appropriate defendant(s) in your truck accident case.

Who Is Liable?

The defendant in a case is the individual or company liable – or legally responsible – for the truck accident. The party guilty of breaching a duty of care owed to the plaintiff, resulting in the crash in question, will serve as the defendant. In a truck accident case, this could be the trucking company for its own negligence or for vicarious liability for its drivers and employees. The defendant could also be a truck manufacturer for a crash tracing back to a defective part. Other possibilities include property owners and government agencies. At Sweeney Merrigan Law, LLP, we can determine liability on your behalf and take over the ensuing claims process for you in Quincy.
