Connecticut Truck Accident Lawyer
Truck Accident Attorney
The pressures of the trucking business can often lead to deadly and catastrophic accidents on the roads. Tight deadlines, strict budgets, and overloaded trucks are contributing factors to a number of serious Connecticut truck accidents that happen every year.
While truckers work hard to meet company demands, mistakes happen—and innocent drivers get hurt. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reported that three-quarters of all injuries and deaths involved in truck accidents in 2006 were the occupants of another vehicle. Truck drivers are protected by the sheer size of the vehicles they drive, while that same protecting force causes devastating injuries.
The Connecticut truck accident lawyers at Carter Mario are dedicated to holding negligent trucking companies and drivers responsible for the accidents they cause, and winning compensation for accident victims. We have successfully represented truck accident victims throughout Connecticut, including Milford, Hartford, Waterbury, and Bridgeport.
Why Hire a Lawyer?
The injuries truck accident victims sustain are severe and can have lifelong repercussions. Many accident victims also suffer spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, fractures, and paralysis. The necessary medications and rehabilitation combined with lost wages from missed work can capsize a family. Carter Mario fights to get compensation to cover these bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering to keep victims’ families on their feet.
Large trucking companies will also often send their own insurance representatives to the scene of a truck accident to protect their interests. These insurance adjustors are out to protect the bottom line for trucking companies, and not to help Connecticut truck accident victims.
Because the trucking industry is heavily regulated, there can be a lot of red tape to wade through with regulations, interstate laws, and rules. The personal injury attorneys at Carter Mario are well-versed in Connecticut truck accident law and will stand up to those companies that would deny benefits to people who deserve it.

After the Accident
There are several steps Connecticut truck accident victims can take to strengthen their claims and protect their rights after the accident. If you’ve been injured in a truck accident, use the following tips to help you move forward.
-
Stop immediately and pull over to the side of the road to avoid obstructing traffic. Tend to injuries and call 911 to see that injured people get the medical attention they need.
-
Call the police. A Connecticut truck accident should be reported to the proper authorities as soon as possible. This can also help strengthen your claim if the other party decides not to play fair.
-
Don’t speak to insurance adjustors! The Connecticut truck accident lawyers at Carter Mario will do that for you. Insurance adjustors may ask leading or incriminating questions and try to get you to sign away rights to future compensation.
Talk to witnesses at the scene of the accident and take photos if you’re able. Photographic evidence is difficult to dispute. Pay attention to phrases like, “that car was flying,” and, “the truck didn’t seem to see the stop sign.” Take down contact information of witnesses for future reference.
-
See your doctor. Remember, you have the right to a doctor of your choice—don’t let the insurance adjustor choose one for you. Follow your doctor’s recommendations and keep records of all prescriptions and treatment you receive.
-
Contact your insurance company immediately. Delays in reporting the Connecticut truck accident to your insurance company could damage the strength of your claim.
