Rhode Island Tractor Trailer and Truck Accident Attorney Macktaz represents car drivers, motorcyclists, pedestrians, and bicyclists who have been in a Tractor Trailer Truck accident. All are at a disadvantage when they are involved in motor vehicle accidents involving large trucks. Large trucks can weigh anywhere from 10,000 to 80,000 pounds, and a collision with a big rig truck, a tractor-trailer, an 18-wheeler, a semi-truck, a garbage truck, or a delivery truck is usually catastrophic if not fatal.
Rhode Island truck accident lawyers at the Law Firm of S. Joshua Macktaz have experience fighting for the rights of Rhode Island truck accident victims and their families to receive personal injury or wrongful death recovery from trucking companies and their insurance companies.

Truck Accident Cases and Injuries
Many trucking companies will send a representative to the accident scene immediately to try minimizing liability and get the injured party to prematurely agree to a settlement or sign away their right to file a truck accident lawsuit. It is important that you contact our Rhode Island truck crash law firm before you speak with a truck company representative.
If you or someone you love has been involved in a car accident
that was in your opinion, caused by a drunk driver, you need
the experience and knowledge of Joshua Macktaz, Rhode
Island Car Accident Lawyer to investigate your case
to the fullest.

Personal Injury Law Firm in Rhode Island
 The Law Firm of S. Joshua Macktaz is familiar with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration and state regulations that govern trucking companies, and we know how to prove that truck driver negligence was the cause of your injury accident. We know how to examine the truck driver’s log and other necessary records to determine whether a trucker had been driving longer than the legally allowed number of hours when your injury or accident occurred, or if the truck did not undergo a required maintenance check or repairs.
We will work with truck accident experts that can examine the truck and determine whether the accident happened because of an engine malfunction, the truck lacked the proper blind spot mirrors, or was overloaded with too much cargo. We will interview the truck driver and all witnesses to determine if the truck driver was speeding, distracted, tired, driving aggressively, tailgating, talking on the cellular phone, or driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
We can send accident reconstruction experts to the scene to gather and examine evidence to prove your claim. If the truck driver, the truck company, its insurance company, or any other liable parties are unwilling to negotiate a fair and full settlement for your injuries and losses, the Law Firm of S. Joshua Macktaz will file a Rhode Island truck accident lawsuit and fight for your financial recovery in court.
Truck accident injuries can be catastrophic injuries. Traumatic brain injuries, broken bones, spinal cord injuries, severed limbs, and massive internal injuries will likely require expensive surgeries, medications, physical therapy, and ongoing rehabilitation to maximize any chance of recovery. You may lose wages because of the time you had to take off from work to heal, and your motor vehicle likely will suffer extensive property damage in the crash.

There are many types of injures you can sustain from a car
accident. In some lucky cases, nothing really happens aside
from a few scrapes and a big scare, but other, less fortunate
incidents have serious effects.
Below are some common types of truck accident injuries:
- Whiplash
- Back injury
- Brain and head trauma
- Knee damage
- Spinal cord injury
Whiplash ranks as the most common injury sustained from
car wrecks, and all traffic accidents for that matter. It
is not as serious, and there is a great chance of fast recovery. The
most life-threatening injuries are usually the ones received
to the head and brain, neck, or spinal cord. All three
of these body parts are extremely delicate, and any kind
of damage can result in a severe condition like quadriplegia
or even death.
After being involved in a vehicle collision, you should contact
an attorney to get the legal guidance you require.
You should also consult a physician to get help with any
discomfort you are experiencing as a result of the incident.

Additional Accident Information
Major Rhode Island Roadways:
Interstate 95: I-95: I-95 is the main north-south Interstate Highway on America’s east coast. In Rhode Island, I-95 travels from the Connecticut border near Westerly through Warwick and Providence and then on to the Massachusetts border in Pawtucket. Routes I-195 and I-295 (discussed below) are spurs of I-95.
Interstate 195: I-195: Travelling a combined 40.1 miles in Massachusetts and Rhode Island, I-195 leaves its junction with I-95 in Providence then heads east to a junction with I-495 and Route 25 on Massachusetts’ Cape Cod. The section of I-195 in downtown Providence is being replaced. The new route will lie just south of the Fox Point Hurricane Barrier.
Interstate 295: I-295: At a length of just 26.58 miles in Rhode Island and Massachusetts, I-295 is short but vital. From its southern terminus in Warwick, it forms an essential western beltway around Providence before ending to the north in Attleboro, Massachusetts. Plans are underway to supplement I-295 with an eastern beltway around Providence.
Other roadways where accidents typically happen in Rhode Island: Route 44, Route 6, Route 24, Route 1, Route 138, and Route 4
