Preservation of Evidence after an Eastern Massachusetts
Semi Truck Motorcycle Accident

After a semi truck hits a motorcycle or other vehicle, these steps should be taken immediately to preserve evidence:

Send a spoliation letter. This is a letter to the trucking company stipulating specific evidence the trucking company must preserve.
Interview witnesses. This needs to be done before memories fade.
Examine the crash vehicles. All of the vehicles involved in the crash should be inspected for dents, scrapes, other evidence of the impact and defective parts (brakes, steering, tires, etc.).

Gathering evidence involves far more than the above and can take years, depending on the accident. It is critical to hire an attorney who has experience with semi truck accident litigation involving personal injury or wrongful death.

Semi Truck Accident Information

Rear Ended by a Semi Truck - These cases may occur when a car, motorcycle, van, SUV, bus or other vehicle has stopped to turn, has slowed down or stopped in a construction zone or has stopped at an intersection.
Broadsided by a Semi - If a car, van or SUV is broadsided (t-boned) by a semi tractor trailer, the cause may be that the semi driver ran a red light.
Head On Collision with a Semi Truck - If you were hit head on by a semi truck in eastern Massachusetts, it is important to look at whether the driver was tired or drunk.
Run Over by a Semi Truck - When a semi trailer truck driver runs over a pedestrian or bicyclist, it is usually because of speeding, distraction (cell phone use, eating, looking for something, day dreaming), intoxication (drunk driving and driving under the influence of drugs), inexperience, fatigue, failure to yield the right-of-way.
Sideswiped by a Semi Truck - These accidents frequently happen due to a form of driver negligence: inattentive driving, distracted driving or truck driver fatigue (drowsy or falling asleep)

Don't Talk to the Insurance or Trucking Companies
After a Massachusetts Semi Truck Motorcycle Accident

The trucking company’s claims adjuster began to protect the trucking company’s interests immediately following your Eastern Massachusetts accident. The accident investigator has already started gathering evidence in hopes to defend, reduce or deny the claim. Because trucking companies know that if you retain a personal injury semi truck attorney you are more likely to receive a larger settlement, they may discourage you from seeking legal counsel. We highly recommend that you do not discuss your commercial truck accident with anyone without attorney representation.
