Semi truck accidents are devastating.  The sheer size and power of a semi truck almost always causes catastrophic damage when it is involved in an accident.  In this case, it is unclear who was negligent and therefore which driver might be legally responsible for the crash.  Either way, the crash tragically had fatal consequences for at least one person involved.  In this crash, we are still unsure of the extent of injuries.  We do know that at least one person is in the hospital and we hope for their speedy and complete recovery.

If you are involved in a semi truck accident, there are a few important facts to keep in mind.  Notably, semi truck accidents typically feature commercial insurance policies which carry higher benefits compared to non-commercial policies.  This is a testament to the property damage and serious injuries which often result from a semi truck collision.  Secondly, it is important to identify the owner of the truck in order to identify the legally responsible party.  This can be difficult depending on the particular situation.

In cases with such high stakes, hiring an inexperienced or ineffective attorney is an unwise choice.  At the Jeffrey Glassman Injury Lawyers, we have years of experience with cases involving semi truck accidents.  Our team brings the skills and the determination necessary to maximize your recovery.  If you or a loved have been hurt by the negligence of a semi truck driver, please call us today at 617-367-2900 to discuss your case.
