Rear-End Truck Accidents

Fighting for victims of rear-end truck accidents in Maine

A rear-end accident involving a fully loaded 18-wheeler and a smaller passenger vehicle can lead to catastrophic injuries. A rear-end truck accident typically involves a significant transfer of energy from the truck to the smaller vehicle. The occupants absorb the energy, which can mean spinal cord injuries, traumatic head injuries and even fatal injuries that may be a precursor to a wrongful death lawsuit.

Experienced professional truckers should know that they need more distance to stop than does a driver of a passenger vehicle. In most instances, a truck driver who rear-ends another car is liable. If you or a loved one was injured after being rear-ended by an 18-wheeler or other type of commercial truck, don't hesitate to contact an experienced truck accident attorney in Maine.

How a rear-end truck accident can happen

Rear-end crashes involving semi trucks typically occur when highway traffic has slowed due to construction projects, an accident, or rush hour traffic. The truck driver may be distracted and not noticing that traffic has slowed down. Our Maine rear-end truck accident attorneys can investigate the cause of the crash. Was the trucker texting while driving? Was the driver operating under the influence (DUI)? If a negligent factor played a role in the accident, we will fight hard to get to the bottom of the matter and hold the responsible individual or entity accountable.
