Portland, ME Truck Accident Lawyers

Serving Truck Injury Victims Across Southern Maine 

Truck accidents often cause devastating consequences for victims, including serious injuries, mounting bills, and emotional distress. Greater Portland’s busy streets and highways carry significant truck traffic, which increases the risk of collisions involving commercial vehicles. 

Data from the Maine Department of Transportation shows that over 2,400 truck crashes occurred in Cumberland County from 2017 to 2021. That averages more than one crash each day, and these highway accidents are often more severe than typical passenger vehicle collisions. 

At Berman & Simmons, we have guided Mainers through some of the most difficult times in their lives, fighting to secure justice and meaningful compensation for people hurt in truck collisions. With over a century of litigation success, our legal team has recovered multi-million-dollar verdicts and settlements for accident victims across Maine. 

If you or a loved one suffers an injury from a truck accident in Cumberland County or anywhere in the Greater Portland area, you can rely on our dedicated team to hold negligent parties accountable and pursue the compensation you deserve. 

Discuss your case with our Portland truck accident lawyers in a free consultation. Call (207) 383-3216 or contact us online to arrange yours. Virtual consultations are available.

The Types of Truck Accident Cases Handled by Our Portland, Maine Accident Lawyers 

Our legal team brings extensive experience and resources to represent people injured in all types of truck-related accidents, including:

  • Delivery and light-duty trucks - Accidents involving vehicles such as box trucks, delivery vans, or utility trucks navigating Portland’s busy city streets.
  • Medium-duty trucks - Collisions involving school buses, tow trucks, or refrigerated delivery trucks moving goods throughout Portland and its surrounding communities.
  • Heavy-duty trucks - Crashes with tractor-trailers, 18-wheelers, commercial dump trucks, or fuel carriers on major routes such as I-295 and U.S. Route 1.

No matter the type of truck or the cause of the wreck, our attorneys use a detailed approach to finding the cause, whether it is negligent operation, lack of maintenance, or improper cargo loading. 

Our team understands the complex nature of truck crash investigations across Portland. We review data from onboard electronic logging devices, examine footage from traffic cameras, and work with local professionals who know Southern Maine highways. In many cases, we move quickly to preserve critical evidence, since trucking companies and their insurers often begin investigating right away. When accidents happen on busy corridors like the Maine Turnpike, quick action protects your rights after a crash.

Berman & Simmons represents people injured in truck accidents throughout Maine, including Cumberland County and the full Portland metro area. Whether your accident occurred in the Old Port, the Turnpike, I-295, or any area highway, we stand ready to advocate for Mainers injured in truck collisions. 

Finding out who is responsible for a truck crash can be difficult, but our legal team accepts the challenge. We have a strong record in court and have handled more civil trials than any other firm in Maine. 

The Damages Available in Truck Accident Cases

Truck accident victims often face life-changing injuries and financial strain that continues for years. Berman & Simmons works to pursue compensation that covers all areas of our clients' losses. 

On your behalf, we can seek compensation for:

  • Medical costs - Costs for hospital care, surgeries, rehabilitation, therapy, and future medical needs tied to the injury.
  • Lost wages and diminished earning capacity - Recovery for missed work or the inability to earn as much due to long-term injuries.
  • Pain and suffering - Financial acknowledgment for the severe physical and emotional impact.
  • Impact on quality of life - Compensation for lost enjoyment of everyday activities, milestone moments, or daily routines.
  • Permanent injuries or disfigurement - Compensation for debilitating conditions, disabilities, or scarring that permanently alter a victim’s life.
  • Wrongful death - Financial support for families who have lost a loved one, including funeral costs, lost financial contributions, and emotional grief.

The compensation you may seek depends on your case specifics. To get a clear idea of what is available to you, consult our Portland truck accident attorneys.
