Truck Accidents in Maine
Large trucks pose a significant risk on the road due to their size and weight.
Truck drivers are held to a heightened duty of care, meaning they have a greater responsibility to operate their vehicles safely.
They are also subject to stricter regulations, including speed limitations, especially on icy roads, plus adherence to federal motor carrier safety rules outlined by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
These regulations can be complex, and violations can significantly affect how to determine fault in a truck accident.
If you’ve been in an accident with a truck, we recommend you contact VBK for a free consultation. VBK’s experience allows us to navigate these complexities and achieve the compensation you deserve.
Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcyclists are especially vulnerable to accidents.
Unfortunately, motorcycle drivers are often stereotyped and blamed, even when not at fault.
The reality is that motorcyclists have the same rights and responsibilities on the road as any other vehicle, and all drivers are responsible for being aware of their surroundings.
Maine law treats motorcycle accidents like other auto accidents, and motorcyclists are entitled to compensation for their injuries.
If you have been injured in a motorcycle accident, VBK auto accident attorneys can fight to protect your rights and ensure you receive fair compensation for your injuries.
