What to Do After a Truck Accident
In the moments and days following a truck accident, taking the right steps can help protect your health and your legal rights. Here’s what we recommend:
- Seek immediate medical attention, even if you don’t feel seriously injured.
- Document everything, including the accident scene, your injuries, and any communications with insurance companies.
- Contact a qualified truck accident lawyer before speaking with the trucking company or its insurer.
Types of Truck Accident Cases We Handle
Whether you were injured in a collision with a commercial vehicle, delivery truck, or semi, our truck accident attorneys have the experience and resources to take on complex claims, including:

As a trusted truck accident law firm serving New England, we’re ready to stand up for your rights, no matter the circumstances.
Why Truck Accidents Are Different—and More Dangerous
Truck accidents are unlike typical car crashes. The sheer size and weight of commercial vehicles—especially semi-trucks and tractor-trailers—mean that even low-speed collisions can result in catastrophic injuries or fatalities.
In a recent year, an estimated 12,700 truck accidents occurred in New England, leading to approximately 50 fatalities and over 1,100 injuries, based on available state-level data. These numbers are more than statistics—they represent families whose lives have been turned upside down.
Unlike standard auto accidents, truck accident claims often involve multiple parties, including commercial carriers, insurance companies, and corporate legal teams. You need someone who knows how to handle these cases’ complexities and stand up to big trucking companies.
What Is Your Truck Accident Claim Worth?
Every case is different, but compensation may include:
- Medical bills and future care costs
- Lost wages and reduced earning potential
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Property damage
We thoroughly investigate your case and work with medical experts, accident reconstructionists, and economists to accurately calculate your damages. That’s how we build a claim that reflects the full scope of your loss—and positions you for the best possible outcome.

My attorney, Dakota Smythe, has been a great help in getting me the proper compensation for my accident. I was out of work for months and without an automobile, but with her help, I received a blessing. She worked very hard to get me what I needed in a timely manner and I appreciate her and the whole Rob Levine team.

I highly recommend him for any of your personal injuries.
I want to thank Rob Levine and staff for going above and beyond on behalf of my family and me. They fought very hard so that I could receive the justice amount from the non-at-fault car accident I was involved in. Thank you. God Bless.

FAQs About Truck Accident Claims
Are there special rules that apply to truck drivers?
Yes, truck drivers are subject to strict federal and state regulations, including limits on how many hours they can drive and rules around vehicle maintenance. If these rules are violated, your compensation case can be strengthened.
What if the truck that hit me was from out of state?
You can still file a claim, even if the truck was registered in a different state. Your lawyer will determine the proper jurisdiction and ensure your case is filed in the right court.
What happens if the truck driver was under the influence?
Driving under the influence can significantly increase the liable party’s responsibility and may lead to punitive damages. Criminal charges against the driver can also support your civil claim for damages.
Should I give a statement to the trucking company’s insurance adjuster?
No, not before speaking with your lawyer. The adjuster’s job is to minimize what the company pays, and your words can be used against you, even if you’re just trying to be cooperative.
Who can be held liable in a commercial truck accident?
Liability may extend beyond the driver to include the trucking company, a freight broker, maintenance contractors, or even a defective truck part manufacturer. An experienced attorney will investigate all possible sources of negligence.
What is “black box” data and how can it help my case?
Most commercial trucks are equipped with electronic logging devices or “black boxes” that record speed, braking, hours of service, and more. This data can provide critical evidence in proving fault and identifying rule violations.
