    A Portsmouth law firm that takes on the insurance companies

    How do Portsmouth truck accidents happen? In some cases, a negligent driver was speeding, texting or fell asleep at the wheel. A negligent trucking company may have failed to repair the truck, neglected to check the driver’s qualifications or gave the driver an unrealistic schedule. Some accidents are caused by defective brakes or other truck parts.

    Truck accident cases can be complicated, because many parties can be involved. These parties can include the driver, trucking company, the owner of the trailer, the owner of the cargo and manufacturers. Each party may have a different insurance carrier and a different lawyer. All parties may deny doing anything wrong.

    Our Portsmouth law firm knows how to identify negligent parties and hold them accountable. Our legal team investigates your truck accident and gathers evidence, including employment and maintenance records, hours of service (HOS) logs and information from the truck’s event data recorder. We interview witnesses and, if needed, consult accident reconstruction experts.

    Our Portsmouth truck accident lawyers determine the total amount of damages you have suffered and demand compensation. This includes compensation for all current and future medical expenses related to your injuries, any lost wages if you were unable to work and other damages, such as pain and suffering or disfigurement.
