Most Common Types of Truck Accidents in Massachusetts

Truck drivers frequently transport heavy cargo, and reckless driving can lead to serious accidents—including fatal collisions. Unfortunately, these incidents are common in Massachusetts.

Truck accidents often occur on highways, and the most common types include:

  • Rear-End Collisions: Happen when a truck crashes into another vehicle from behind, often due to distractions, tailgating, or sudden stops.
  • Intersection Accidents: Caused by running red lights, improper turns, or failing to yield the right of way.
  • Unsafe Lane Changes: Occur when a truck driver fails to check blind spots before switching lanes.
  • Rollover Accidents: Result from speeding, sharp turns, or improper cargo loading.
  • Weather-Related Accidents: Happen in conditions like snow, ice, and heavy rain, making roads slippery and reducing visibility.
  • Distracted Driving Accidents: Caused by drivers using phones, adjusting GPS, or engaging in other distractions while operating a truck.
  • Mechanical Failure Accidents: Result from faulty brakes, tire blowouts, or other truck malfunctions.

If you’ve been involved in any of these types of truck accidents, consult a Massachusetts Truck Accident Lawyer as soon as possible. A legal expert can guide you through the process and help you secure fair compensation.

What to Do After a Truck Accident in Massachusetts

A truck accident can be overwhelming, but taking the right steps can protect your rights and strengthen your case.

Follow these crucial steps:

  • Call 911: Report the accident to the police. Their official report will be essential when filing your claim.

  • Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs): Severe head trauma can lead to cognitive impairments, memory loss, and long-term disabilities.
  • Muscle and Ligament Injuries: Strains, sprains, and torn ligaments can cause chronic pain and limited mobility.
  • Spinal Cord Injuries: Severe damage can lead to partial or total paralysis, requiring lifelong medical care.
  • Fractures and Broken Bones: Truck crashes often result in broken ribs, legs, arms, and other serious fractures.
  • Burns: If a truck accident involves a fire or explosion, victims may suffer severe burns requiring extensive treatment.
  • Whiplash: Rapid neck movements during a crash can cause cervical spine injuries and long-term pain.

James was searching for equipment for painting at Home Depot. In the aisle next to him, there was a worker on a lift stocking the highest shelf. The worker pushed boxes so far across the shelf that they fell off the other edge and hit James in the head. The force almost knocked James unconscious. He sat down and the loud bang got the worker off the ladder to see what fell. When they saw James they offered him a bucket and made a report. James did not recall leaving the store or how he got home. He did not recall much except being at home depot and getting hit in the head. Home Depot told him that it was a small box of dust masks that hurt him. We discovered it was actually a large box of emergency kits that fell off the shelf.
