Experienced Matters

When you suffer a major injury, such as a brain injury, spinal cord injury or severe back injury, you don't want an inexperienced lawyer during negotiation and litigation with insurance companies. Given the potential for high settlements, an insurance company will vigorously defend against a truck accident claim. You need an attorney who will not back down. Robert H. Astor has represented the rights of injured people for nearly 30 years. He serves clients throughout western Massachusetts from offices in Springfield, Amherst and Northampton.

Thoroughly Investigating Truck Accident Claims

Because of the serious nature of 18-wheeler accidents, big rig accidents and other truck accidents, insurance companies will start investigating your claim immediately following your accident to prepare their defense and characterize the evidence in a light most favorable to their interests.

Our law firm starts investigating truck accident claims immediately, before evidence is destroyed or otherwise altered. We use accident reconstruction experts and other specialists to analyze all aspects of the truck accident and uncover any areas of negligence. We have investigated accidents involving:

• Truck driver fatigue and carelessness
• Equipment failures (defective tires, brakes or other equipment)
• Overloaded trucks or improperly loaded trucks
• Truck drivers taking stay awake drugs or other illegal substances
• Negligent hiring or supervision of drivers
• Negligent maintenance of truck equipment
