Truck drivers and trucking companies are required to follow federal regulations regarding how long truckers can be on duty or behind the wheel without taking rest breaks or days off. They are also required to inspect and maintain their fleets in safe working condition. Yet roadside inspections year after year reveal thousands of trucks and truck drivers out of compliance with safety rules, and even falsifying records to cover up noncompliance, to the point that they must be immediately pulled from service for serious safety issues.

After a serious truck accident, our Boston personal injury lawyers go to work investigating the accident, determining fault, and securing the evidence needed to press a claim against the trucking company for a full and fair amount of compensation. When cases don’t settle for an appropriate amount, we put our superior trial skills to use and let a jury decide what the outcome should be.
