Truck Accidents

Milford, Connecticut Truck Accident Attorneys

Advocates for Truck Accident Victims

Trucking companies are liable for injuries and fatalities that occur as a result of negligence on the part of the truck drivers they employee. As a result, most truck companies train drivers in what to say and what not to say after an accident. It's not uncommon for truck drivers to try to shift the blame for an accident onto the other driver.

At the law office of Harlow, Adams & Friedman, our attorneys work with experienced accident investigators to uncover the causes of a tractor trailer accident. We review a driver's log book, GPS information, and black box data recorder. By measuring skid marks and taking into account other evidence, we can often determine if a driver was speeding or suffering from driver fatigue. If you've been in an 18-wheeler, tractor-trailer, or other truck accident, you may be dealing with very serious injuries, major medical costs and lost work time. You may deserve compensation for these injuries.

At the law office of Harlow, Adams & Friedman, we have the knowledge and resources needed to investigate truck accidents and hold negligent trucking companies financially liable. To schedule a free consultation to discuss your case, contact truck accident lawyers at Harlow, Adams & Friedman today.

Ensuring That Your Rights Are Protected

Many of the same circumstances apply in truck collision cases as in car wreck cases. You should avoid signing any documents - including proposed settlements - until you have consulted with an attorney. You should also gather and preserve evidence that may be relevant to your case.

What should you do if you are involved in a truck accident?

• Take photographs of the damaged vehicles
• Take photographs of the accident scene and any property damage
• Consult a medical provider to document any injuries you may have suffered
• Gather any information you have about your own and any other driver's insurance.
• Get the names of any witnesses at the scene

Helping Those Harmed on Dangerous Highways

Truck accidents involve enormous disparities in weight and impact. For these reasons, truck drivers have responsibility to act to avoid injuring others on the road. When drivers do act recklessly and cause serious injuries, we can also seek punitive damages to help ensure that others do not act in the same reckless manner.

Many Connecticut highways - such as Interstate 95 (I-95), Interstate 91 (I-91), and Connecticut Route 8 - feature dangerous conditions that are intensified when truck drivers behave recklessly.

At Harlow, Adams & Friedman, P.C., we hold trucking companies and their insurance carriers responsible. We have an extensive track record of winning compensation for victims of truck crashes and collisions, and making the roads safer in the process.
