York County Truck Accident Lawyers
Record-Setting Results for Victims of Catastrophic Truck Crashes
York County’s roads see a unique mix of freight traffic, commuters, and seasonal congestion, especially along I-95 (Maine Turnpike), U.S. Route 1, and the coastal routes that funnel drivers through Biddeford, Saco, Old Orchard Beach, Kennebunk, and beyond. When a tractor-trailer, box truck, dump truck, or other commercial vehicle causes a serious collision in that environment, the case is rarely “routine.”
Truck accident claims tend to be higher-stakes and more aggressively defended than standard car crash cases. They can involve multiple corporate defendants, multiple insurance policies, and evidence that can disappear quickly if it isn’t preserved.

Trucking Results That Set the Standard
When your case involves catastrophic injury or a fatal loss, a law firm’s results matter because they usually reflect the ability to investigate, prove liability, and try the case when the defense refuses to act reasonably.
Berman & Simmons has achieved record-setting verdicts and settlements, including major trucking and commercial vehicle outcomes such as:
- $25,000,000 — Trucking Accident (Jury Verdict): Record-setting federal verdict after a two-week trial for catastrophic injuries in a tractor-trailer crash
- $23,500,000 — Fatal Trucking Accident (Settlement): The largest trucking accident settlement in Maine history
- $10,000,000 — Commercial Vehicle Accident Settlement
