The Serious Impacts of Trucking Accidents
Trucking accidents often leave victims facing catastrophic consequences. Commercial trucks, weighing up to 80,000 pounds when fully loaded, dwarf passenger vehicles and motorcycles. When accidents happen, this size disparity makes collisions especially violent, leading to severe injuries or even fatalities. Victims often suffer from broken bones, spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, and other life-altering conditions requiring expensive medical care and long recovery times.
Beyond physical harm, the emotional and financial toll on families can be immense. The trauma of the event alone, compounded by medical bills, lost income, and permanent lifestyle changes, can be overwhelming. The roads connecting the greater Lewiston/Auburn area, from busy intersections to bustling I-95, are no strangers to heavy truck traffic, making the risk of serious accidents all too real for locals.
In fact, data from the Maine Department of Transportation shows that nearly 800 truck accidents happened in Androscoggin County between 2017 and 2021. This number represents far too many collisions that seriously put motorists and pedestrians at risk.
Berman & Simmons has experience handling truck accidents across the entire state of Maine, including all corners of Androscoggin County, Oxford County, Franklin County, and Somerset County. Whether the crash took place in downtown Lewiston, on the Turnpike, on the streets of Farmington or Skowhegan, or on any of the roads and highways across our state, we stand prepared to represent all Mainers who were seriously injured by a truck collision.
