Truck Accident Tips and Tools: What should I do if I’ve been seriously injured in a truck accident in Maine?

If you have been injured in a crash caused by a truck or commercial vehicle, you may be facing serious injuries.  The injuries caused by trucks and larger commercial vehicles are often far worse than those sustained in auto collisions, due to the mass and force of impact from larger vehicles on the road.  

Once you have contacted our trucking accident attorneys, your most important job is to focus on your rehabilitation.  We will work to track down all sources of compensation for your serious injuries, and we will handle negotiations with insurance company adjusters so you can prioritize what matters most: your recovery.
