Common Causes of Truck Crashes
In addition to all the factors that cause regular car accidents, truck crashes can have other causes unique to the fact that they carry cargo and are driven by employees who may be struggling to meet impossible delivery deadlines.
Some of the most common grounds for truck accident liability that our lawyers deal with include:
- Overweight or imbalanced payloads
- Unlicensed truck drivers
- Failure to maintain and inspect trucks
- Operator error
- Untrained drivers
- Truck part defect
- Driving while intoxicated
- Dangerous roadway
- Speeding or breaking other traffic laws
- Fatigued drivers who fail to take mandated rest stops for sleep
Who Is Liable for My Truck Accident?
While you might automatically consider the truck driver the responsible party after a trucking accident, somebody else might bear some or all of the responsibility.
Besides the truck driver, other parties who might be liable for a truck crash include:
- The trucking company
- The company receiving the goods the truck was hauling
- The corporation that made the goods the truck is hauling
- The company responsible for maintaining the truck

Here are some of the more specific ways we can help you with your trucking accident case.
Find and Protect Evidence
In addition to getting copies of any photos or videos you were able to take of the scene right after your truck crash, we’ll search out as much evidence as possible, including things like:
- The truck’s black box data
- Traffic camera footage
- Outdoor security videos from nearby businesses that may have captured the crash
- Body camera footage from the police officers who arrived at the scene
- Eyewitness statements
- Medical records
- Testimonials from accident reconstruction specialists or other experts
Negotiate With Insurance Companies
Your primary focus should be recovering from your injuries, not spending countless hours on the phone with an insurance adjuster who wants you to settle for the least amount of money so their company can remain highly profitable.
Let us handle all the negotiations with the insurance companies and other parties, so you have one less thing to stress about while you recuperate.
Letting us talk to the insurance providers also lets them know you’re serious about getting every dime they owe you for your pain and suffering.
Determine Who’s Responsible
Any number of parties may be responsible for the truck crash. As long as you are 50% or less at fault for the accident, we can prove that one or more other parties were negligent and owe you money for your medical bills, lost wages, and more.
Get You Maximum Compensation
Whether we’re able to secure you a fair settlement from the insurance company or we take your case to court, we’ll do everything we can to get you the most amount of money possible as compensation for the physical pain, emotional trauma, and financial costs the accident caused you.
How Long Do You Have to File a Truck Accident Lawsuit?
According to Massachusetts General Laws Part III Title V Chapter 260 Section 2A, you have three years from the date of the accident to file a claim.
However, we recommend you contact a Cape Cod truck accident lawyer as soon as possible after your truck crash so we can gather evidence before it can be deleted or fade from the memory of eyewitnesses.
How Much Does a Truck Accident Lawyer Cost?
The compassionate attorneys at Jason Stone Injury Lawyers don’t want to add to your financial woes while you’re already dealing with massive medical bills and lost wages from missing work to recover from your injuries.
That’s why we work on a contingency fee basis and take a portion of the money we get for you as our payment.
If we don’t get you financial compensation, then you don’t owe us a single dollar, so schedule your free, no-obligation consultation today.
