Truck Accident Lawyers in Portland

Serving Truck Injury Victims Across Southern Maine 

Truck accidents often result in far-reaching consequences, leaving victims to deal with severe injuries, financial struggles, and emotional pain. With Greater Portland’s busy roadways being central to commerce and travel, crashes involving commercial vehicles occur far too often. 

Data from the Maine Department of Transportation shows that over 2,400 truck crashes occurred in Cumberland County from 2017 to 2021. That's over one crash a day each year that could upend someone's life, as collisions with trucks tend to be much more severe than those involving other vehicles. 

At Berman & Simmons, we’ve stood by Mainers through some of the most difficult times in their lives, striving to secure justice and meaningful compensation for those harmed by trucking collisions. With over a century of litigation success, our legal team has recovered multi-million-dollar verdicts and settlements for accident victims across Maine.
