Why Are Truck Accidents Common in Worcester?
The city of Worcester reports that three vehicle crashes occur daily and one serious or fatal accident every four days. Common reasons a truck accident may occur include:
- Driver Fatigue: This can result from inadequate sleep, a lack of sleep, long working hours, or a combination of these factors.
- Distracted Driving: When a driver’s attention is diverted from driving by another activity, such as texting, calling, or using apps on a phone.
- Speeding or Aggressive Driving: Such actions can increase the risk and severity of crashes by impairing a driver’s reaction time and making vehicle control more difficult.
- Weather: Driving can be impacted when weather conditions decrease visibility, blow debris onto roads, make the roadway slippery, or create other dangers.
- Road Infrastructure: This includes roads that are not well-maintained, difficult intersections, or locations susceptible to adverse weather conditions.
- Congested Urban Streets: Truck accidents are common in high-traffic areas, such as arterial or multi-lane roads. In Worcester, some high-traffic areas are Interstate 290, Interstate 190, Park Avenue, Main Street, Belmont Street, and Chandler Street.
Who Is Liable for a Worcester Truck Accident?
Determining fault in a truck crash is not always simple. Our team can help determine who’s responsible, which may include:
- The Truck Driver: For actions or inactions that contributed to the accident
- The Trucking Company: For failing to properly vet its drivers, requiring excessive work hours, or failing to maintain its fleet and equipment
- Parts Manufacturers: For manufacturing faulty truck parts that caused the accident
- Local and State Government Entities: For failing to properly maintain roadways or providing inadequate road infrastructure
- Cargo Loading Companies: For improperly loaded or unsecured cargo
Regardless of who may be at fault, we thoroughly investigate the facts of every case to hold the right party accountable. Evidence that can help build a strong case includes:
- Police report
- Photos and video of the accident scene and injuries
- Witness statements
- Video footage from traffic cameras, dash cameras, and business security cameras
- Medical records and bills
- Documentation of lost or reduced income
Our experienced Worcester truck accident lawyers are ready to identify all possible sources of recovery and can advocate for maximum compensation on your behalf.
What Compensation Can You Recover After a Truck Accident?
Compensation for truck accidents can vary greatly and depends on factors such as the circumstances of the accident and the severity of your injuries. Generally, truck accident victims can pursue compensation for the following:
- Past and future medical bills
- Lost income and reduced earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Property damage
- Permanent disability or disfigurement
In the event of wrongful death, the victim’s family may be entitled to additional damages, including funeral and burial expenses, and loss of companionship.
While Massachusetts does not cap personal injury compensation, insurance policy limits may influence the amount you can receive for your claim. Insurers often employ strategies to reduce their liability, such as downplaying the severity of the injuries and attempting to shift blame to the injured party.
Which Massachusetts Laws Can Affect Your Worcester Truck Accident Claim?
Here is an overview of state laws that can affect or influence your Worcester truck accident claim:
- Statute of Limitations: The time limit for personal injury claims is usually three years from the injury date. If the claim involves an uninsured or underinsured motorist, the statute of limitations is determined by the state’s contract laws, giving you six years to file instead of three.
- Modified Comparative Negligence: You can still recover for your injuries if you are less than 51% at fault. You cannot be more at fault than the defendant.
- No-Fault Laws: Massachusetts’s no-fault laws restrict when you can seek compensation beyond your Personal Injury Protection, or PIP, insurance. PIP does not cover damages such as pain and suffering. However, you can file a lawsuit for those non-economic damages if your medical costs exceed $2,000 or you suffer serious injuries such as a broken bone or permanent disfigurement.
- Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration regulations: Violations of FMCSA rules can strengthen your truck accident claim by providing evidence of negligence.
An experienced truck accident lawyer will have the knowledge and skill to guide you through the complexities of these laws and rules.
