Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.I was introduced to Jim through my nephew two years ago. We met socially and I liked him immediately. Six months later, i was injured at work, tearing my rotator cuff and separating my bicep from the bone. I contacted my employers insurance company,xxxxxxxxx, and I made a claim for long term disability, a premium that I had paid for a period of 16 years. I heard nothing from xxxxxxxxxx and mentioned it go my nephew. He told me to call Atty Glazer and ask him about it. I had surgery on both injuries and Jim followed up with me on my situation. He then told me that there is a firm that he partnered with that was extremely good at this particular set of circumstances: not paying on a claim. Jim said that he would get them in contact with me and that they, having a great amount of experience, would pursue my claim with his shepherding me through the long and involved process. He followed up after every meeting and IAB hearing with them to make sure all was on track and that i was comfortable with the process. I appreciate follow up on any situation and his is excellent! The settlement that his partnership obtained was well above my expectations by a factor of four. I recommend that anyone in a legal situation first speak to Jim and get him to oversee their situation which he will do with the upmost professionalism and concern. On a scale of 1-5, he is a 6!,

Know What Steps to Take After a Trucking Accident
- Call 911. Report the accident and request medical help if anyone is injured.
- Get medical attention. Even if you feel fine, a doctor can identify injuries that may not be immediately obvious. In cases of severe internal injuries, such as TBI or organ damage, swift action is necessary for recovery.
- Stay calm and avoid admitting fault. Only share the necessary information with the police and other drivers.
- Gather evidence. If you’re able, take photos of the scene, damage, and any visible injuries.
- Contact a truck accident lawyer from Jim Glaser Law. Speaking with an attorney from our office early on is one of the best ways to protect your case. We’ll advise you on what to do after a truck accident and handle communications with the insurance companies for you.
Compensation Available to Truck Accident Victims
Because truck accidents can be much more severe than the average car accident, damages tend to be extensive. Depending on the details of your situation, you may be able to recover compensation for:
- Medical expenses: including hospital stays, surgeries, rehabilitation, and future medical care
- Lost wages: for the time you missed work due to your injuries
- Loss of earning capacity: if your injuries affect your ability to work long-term
- Pain and suffering: for the physical pain and emotional distress caused by the crash
- Property damage: to repair or replace your vehicle and other personal property
- Wrongful death damages: if a loved one was fatally injured in a truck accident
Massachusetts follows a modified comparative negligence rule, which means you can recover damages as long as you were less than 51% at fault. However, trucking insurance companies may try to shift the blame to reduce what they owe. That’s why working with a commercial vehicle accident lawyer who understands the complexities of truck accident law in Massachusetts can make a big difference in the outcome of your case.
How Do Commercial Vehicle Accidents Happen?
Truck accidents can have many causes, and the risks are often greater than in other types of accidents in Brockton, MA. Factors like large blind spots, wide turns, brake failure, and long braking distances often play a role. In some cases, driver fatigue, poor maintenance, or speeding can also contribute.
Common types of commercial vehicles involved in serious accidents include:
- Amazon delivery trucks
- UPS and FedEx vans
- USPS vehicles
- Freight carriers and 18-wheelers
- Moving trucks (like U-Haul or Penske)
- Utility and construction vehicles
Accidents involving commercial trucks are often more complex than typical car crashes. These cases may involve multiple parties. Federal and state regulations also apply to the trucking industry, which can complicate investigations and legal claims. Contact an experienced truck accident lawyer to help you identify all liable parties, gather necessary evidence, and fight for full compensation, no matter the cause or type of commercial vehicle involved.
Proving Liability After a Trucking Accident
Establishing liability in a truck accident case often requires a deeper investigation than a typical motor vehicle collision. That’s because multiple parties may have contributed to the crash, and each one may try to shift blame to avoid financial responsibility. Your attorney can collect evidence like black box data, driver logs, maintenance records, and company policies to determine exactly what went wrong and who should be held accountable.
Who Can Be Held Responsible?
Truck accident cases in Massachusetts may involve liability from one or more of the following:
- The truck driver if they were speeding, distracted, impaired, or in violation of hours-of-service rules
- The trucking company if they failed to train drivers properly, enforced unsafe schedules, or ignored maintenance needs
- The cargo loader if the cargo was improperly secured or overloaded, increasing the chance of rollover or brake failure
- The truck manufacturer or parts supplier in cases involving defective brakes, tires, or other mechanical failures
- A maintenance provider if negligent repair or service contributed to the crash
- A third-party driver if another vehicle’s actions triggered the truck’s involvement in the accident
Identifying all liable parties helps you and your attorney maximize the compensation available in your case. We can help ensure nothing gets overlooked in this complex legal process.
Our Results Speak For Themselves
Injuries You Could Receive Compensation For
Truck accidents often result in more severe injuries than other types of crashes due to the size and weight of commercial vehicles. Victims in Brockton and throughout Massachusetts may suffer long-term or permanent damage, leading to costly medical care and changes in quality of life.
Some of the most common injuries from truck accidents include:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs): These can range from concussions to severe brain damage, affecting memory, coordination, mood, and overall brain function.
- Spinal cord injuries (SCIs): A spinal injury can result in partial or complete paralysis and may require lifelong medical support.
- Broken bones: Fractures are common in high-impact collisions and may require surgery or physical therapy.
- Back and neck injuries: Whiplash, herniated discs, and other spinal damage can cause chronic pain and limit mobility.
- Internal injuries: Damage to organs or internal bleeding may not be immediately visible but can be life-threatening if untreated.
- Burns and lacerations: These injuries can result from vehicle fires, hazardous cargo, or shattered glass and may lead to permanent scarring.
- Psychological trauma: The emotional aftermath of a serious truck accident—such as PTSD, anxiety, or depression—is just as real as physical injuries.
If your injuries were caused by a negligent truck driver or company, you may be entitled to compensation for your medical expenses, pain and suffering, and long-term rehabilitation needs. Calculate the full value of your claim and help ensure your injuries are fully documented with the help of a Brockton truck accident lawyer today!
What If a Loved One’s Accident Was Fatal?
In Massachusetts, certain family members may be able to file a wrongful death claim to seek justice and financial compensation on behalf of their loved one who perished in a truck accident.
A wrongful death claim can help cover:
- Funeral and burial expenses
- Medical bills related to the final injury or illness
- Loss of the deceased’s income and benefits
- Loss of companionship, care, and guidance
- Pain and suffering the deceased may have endured before passing
While no amount of money can replace your loss, holding the responsible parties accountable may provide a sense of closure and financial relief during an incredibly difficult time. Our experienced truck accident attorney team can guide your family through the legal process with care and compassion.
Brockton Truck Accident FAQs
Yes, under Massachusetts’ modified comparative negligence rule, you can still recover damages if you were less than 51% at fault. Your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault.
For example, if you’re found 20% responsible for a truck accident in Brockton, your award will be reduced by 20%. We could help you challenge unfair blame from insurance companies trying to reduce your payout.
In Brockton, truck accident settlements typically take anywhere from a few months to over a year, depending on the case’s complexity. Factors that affect the timeline include how severe your injuries are, whether multiple parties are involved, and how cooperative the trucking company’s insurer is. If the case goes to trial, it may take longer. A Brockton trucking accident attorney can help move the process along efficiently.
Truck drivers in Massachusetts must follow both federal and state trucking regulations. These include Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) rules on hours of service, drug testing, and vehicle maintenance. Massachusetts-specific laws also govern vehicle weight, hazardous materials, and required insurance coverage.
Settlements vary widely depending on injury severity, liability, and insurance coverage. Claims involving serious injuries like spinal cord damage or traumatic brain injury can result in settlements ranging from tens of thousands to several hundred thousand dollars, or more. A free consultation can help estimate your case’s potential value based on local case history and your specific losses.
Winning a car or truck accident lawsuit in Massachusetts isn’t always easy, especially when facing corporate trucking attorneys. You must prove the other party’s negligence, often with expert testimony, accident reconstruction, and detailed documentation. A skilled Brockton-based attorney with experience in trucking cases can make a big difference in gathering evidence and building a strong case. Jim Glaser has the trucking accident team you need on your side.
Truck accidents in the Brockton area often occur along major routes like Route 24, Route 28, and Route 123, especially where traffic merges or speed limits change. Industrial zones and delivery routes around distribution centers also see high truck traffic. It’s important to practice safe driving around big trucks.
You need a personal injury lawyer with specific experience handling truck accident cases in Massachusetts. These attorneys understand federal regulations, commercial insurance policies, and how to deal with powerful trucking companies. Jim Glaser Law has handled cases involving 18-wheelers, delivery vans, and cargo carriers throughout Brockton and beyond.
Most truck accident lawyers, including those at Jim Glaser Law, work on a contingency fee basis. This means you don’t pay anything upfront—we only get paid if you win. In Massachusetts, the standard fee is typically around 33% of your settlement or award. We always confirm the terms during your free consultation.
