Property-damage-only (PDO) crashes with large trucks.
In Northwest Connecticut, large trucks on roads like I-84 and Route 8 pose risks due to driver fatigue, overloading, and poor maintenance. Our Torrington truck accident lawyers understand these dangers and build strong cases to protect your rights.
Taking these steps after a truck crash can strengthen your claim:
Injuries from truck accidents, like spinal damage or traumatic brain injuries, require immediate medical evaluation and documentation.
Photograph vehicle damage, skid marks, and road conditions to support your Connecticut truck accident claim.
Contact local police or Connecticut State Police for an official report, including truck details and witness statements.
Don’t post about the crash or injuries; insurers may use posts to dispute your personal injury claim.
Contact The Nicholas Law Firm at (860) 489-1878 for a free consultation to protect your rights under Connecticut’s 2-year statute of limitations.
Truck accident cases are far more complex than standard car crashes, often involving multiple parties—such as truck drivers, trucking companies, vehicle manufacturers, and insurers—and strict federal trucking regulations. Our Connecticut truck accident lawyers have the expertise and resources to handle these challenging claims.
We have recovered millions of dollars for truck accident victims in Connecticut, including those injured in semi-truck crashes, 18-wheeler collisions, and commercial vehicle accidents. Our attorneys excel at securing high-value settlements and verdicts for catastrophic injuries like spinal cord damage, traumatic brain injuries, and wrongful death cases.
With offices in Torrington and Waterbury, we know the high-risk roads of Northwest Connecticut, such as I-84, Route 8, and busy trucking corridors. We leverage local court knowledge, insurance tactics, and regional accident trends to build stronger claims for our clients.
Truck accident claims require a thorough investigation. We review driver logbooks, maintenance and inspection records, black box data (event data recorders), and trucking company safety protocols. By uncovering violations of hours-of-service rules, improper maintenance, or driver negligence, we hold trucking companies fully accountable.
Our contingency fee model means you pay nothing unless we win. We’re committed to ensuring that every truck accident victim has access to top-tier legal representation, regardless of financial circumstances.
Our Connecticut truck accident attorneys fight to recover the maximum compensation available under state and federal law, helping victims rebuild after devastating collisions with large commercial vehicles.
We pursue compensation for emergency medical care, ambulance fees, hospital stays, surgeries, ongoing rehabilitation, and future treatments related to severe injuries often caused by heavy truck impacts.
Truck accidents frequently lead to life-changing injuries that cause emotional trauma, PTSD, and long-term physical pain. We fight for compensation that reflects both your physical suffering and psychological impact.
If your injuries prevent you from working temporarily—or permanently—we seek compensation for lost wages, diminished earning capacity, and potential career losses, ensuring your financial stability.
We demand full reimbursement for the repair or replacement of your vehicle, as well as compensation for any personal property damaged during the truck collision.
Check for injuries and call 911 if needed. Move to safety if possible, turn on hazard lights, and call the police for a report. Exchange info with the truck driver, take photos of the scene and damage, and notify your insurer. Avoid admitting fault.
Liability may fall on the truck driver, trucking company, vehicle manufacturer, or cargo loaders, depending on factors like driver negligence, maintenance issues, or improper loading. A lawyer can investigate to identify all responsible parties.
Truck accident claims involve federal regulations, multiple liable parties, and complex insurance policies. They often result in severe injuries and require detailed investigations, making legal representation critical.
Compensation may range from $50,000 to millions for severe cases, covering medical costs, lost wages, pain and suffering, and property damage. Amounts vary based on injury severity and fault. Consult a lawyer for an estimate.
We navigate complex claims against truck drivers, companies, and insurers under Connecticut law and federal regulations.
Analyze driver logs, maintenance records, and black box data to establish liability.
Collect medical records, witness statements, and expert testimony on accident reconstruction.
Handle communications with trucking company insurers to secure fair settlements, addressing complex liability issues.
Ready to litigate for fair compensation if negotiations fail.
Pursue all damages, including medical costs, pain and suffering, and property damage.

When it comes to high standards, The Nicholas Law Firm has set the bar extremely high. They took on my injury case and helped me get my life back on track, something I am truly grateful for and find humbling. I highly recommend Jeff and the entire Nicholas Law Firm team to anyone needing help to overcome life’s toughest obstacles. Greatest thanks to everyone at The Nicholas Law Firm!
If not for this attorney when my life was upside down, I don't think I'd be where I am today. I used both offices Wtby and Torrington. He made me feel right at home. He fought endless hours against a company known to have attorneys working for them and always winning. WELL NOT ANYMORE. I SEND EVERYONE TO HIM. He fights and fights AND WINS.
I had a complicated case involving multiple insurances, lawyers, and injuries. They handled everything, including Medicare issues, and even resolved a child support payment problem caused by the insurance, preventing legal trouble. They also resolved my Social Security issue without a hearing and assisted with a small family matter. Truly an outstanding law office.
I called Jeff, and the next day, and he followed up right away, helping me resolve the issue with no impact on my insurance. I’ve learned my lesson and won’t be speeding anymore, but if I ever need legal expertise again, I’ll call Jeff immediately. He is knowledgeable, caring, easy to work with, and truly the best.
Thank you to Cindy at the law office for being so informative about our situation and guiding us in the right direction. Your support made a stressful time much easier to navigate.

Attorney Nicholas and his team have provided me with legal advice and assistance on several occasions. The firm is knowledgeable, efficient, and completed all services I requested in a timely manner. I highly recommend Attorney Nicholas to anyone seeking a competent attorney who truly goes the extra mile for his clients.
First, I want to say that I am blessed to have Attorney Jeff Nicholas and his law firm representing me. They have been patient and reassuring during the tough times of surgery and the ongoing battle with workers’ compensation. They have represented me for over 14 years, and although the fight isn’t finished, I know I am in good hands and that they are working for what’s best for me and my family. Many thanks!
After feeling like the insurance company was taking advantage of me, I contacted The Nicholas Law Firm. Not only were they kind and professional, but they also explained everything fully and simply to me, and more than doubled my original expectations for the settlement.
I can't say enough about attorney Nicholas. Ever since Jeff took on my Workers Comp case I couldn't be happier. His knowledge, experience, and staff are awesome. I would highly recommend attorney Nicholas to anyone. As it say on his billboard, "we got your back",and he absolutely does.
