Medical Expenses
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.
Injured in a truck crash on Route 9 or near downtown New Britain? The Nicholas Law Firm’s truck accident lawyers are ready to fight for your full compensation—medical costs, lost income, and the toll the crash has taken on your life.
Free ConsultationNew Britain’s position as a dense urban hub with major freight access via Route 9 and Interstate 84 makes it a hotspot for commercial truck accidents. From delivery vans navigating narrow city streets to tractor-trailers entering and exiting freight corridors near Columbus Boulevard or Stanley Street, collisions involving large vehicles happen often—and they tend to cause life-altering injuries. If you or a loved one has been hit by a commercial truck in New Britain, The Nicholas Law Firm is here to help you hold the responsible party accountable.
We understand the unique traffic patterns and trucking routes through New Britain. Route 9 is a key connector between central and southern Connecticut, and its interchanges see frequent congestion and high-speed accidents. Meanwhile, the industrial zones near Broad Street and Arch Street host daily freight activity, increasing the risks of rear-end collisions and side-impact crashes involving distracted or fatigued drivers. Our team investigates every detail of your crash—from black box data to inspection logs—working with local police and traffic analysts to strengthen your case.
With decades of experience helping Connecticut residents, we provide personalized legal care grounded in local knowledge. Our attorneys don’t just pursue compensation—they build cases designed to win. Whether you suffered a spinal injury, traumatic brain trauma, or need long-term care due to a truck crash in New Britain, we’re here to guide you through recovery and justice.
Long hours on the road can lead to drowsy driving, reducing reaction times and causing collisions.
Unbalanced or overloaded cargo can cause trucks to tip over or lose control.
Truck drivers using phones or other devices may fail to notice other vehicles, leading to crashes.
Exceeding speed limits reduces stopping distance, increasing the severity of truck accidents.
Alcohol or drug impairment impairs judgment, posing a significant risk in truck collisions.
Brake failures or tire blowouts due to poor maintenance can lead to catastrophic accidents.
Rain, snow, or fog can reduce visibility and traction, making it harder to control large trucks.
Inexperienced or poorly trained drivers may struggle to handle large trucks safely.
Taking these steps after a truck accident can strengthen your claim:
Injuries from truck accidents, such as fractures or internal damage, require prompt medical attention and documentation for your claim.
Photograph the accident site, vehicle damage, and injuries to support your Connecticut truck accident claim.
Contact local police or Connecticut State Police for an official report, including driver and witness details.
Don’t post about the accident 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 accidents often result in catastrophic injuries due to the size and weight of commercial vehicles. Common injuries include:
Collisions with trucks can cause concussions or severe brain trauma from head impacts.
High-impact crashes can damage the spine, potentially leading to partial or complete paralysis.
The force of a truck collision can cause fractures in arms, legs, ribs, or pelvis, often requiring surgery.
Blunt force trauma from truck accidents can cause organ damage or internal bleeding, which may be life-threatening.
Sudden jolts in collisions can cause neck strain, leading to pain and limited mobility.
The massive weight of trucks can cause crushing injuries, potentially leading to amputations or severe tissue damage.
Sprains, strains, or tears in muscles and ligaments, causing prolonged pain and recovery.
Fuel leaks or fires in truck accidents can cause severe burns requiring extensive medical care.
Psychological trauma from a truck accident can lead to anxiety, flashbacks, or fear of driving.
Our New Britain 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.
Call 911, get medical attention, and report the crash to the New Britain Police Department. If it happened on Route 9 or near a freight zone, try to photograph the scene and secure contact info from witnesses.
Frequent crash sites include Route 9, Stanley Street, and intersections near downtown loading zones like Columbus Blvd and Arch Street—areas with heavy freight traffic and limited maneuvering room.
With a population of over 74,000 and substantial commercial movement, New Britain sees a higher frequency of truck-related accidents than nearby rural towns. Urban congestion, deliveries, and industrial traffic contribute significantly.
Truck crashes often involve multiple liable parties (driver, employer, third-party maintenance company), and trucking companies have aggressive legal teams. Our attorneys level the playing field.
Not always. Many truck accident claims settle outside of court, but we prepare every case like it’s going to trial to keep pressure on the other side.
There are no upfront fees. We work on a contingency basis, meaning you pay us only if we recover compensation for you.
We guide you through claims against negligent drivers, trucking companies, or insurers under Connecticut law.
Analyze police reports, driver logs, black box data, and witness statements to establish liability.
Collect medical records, truck maintenance records, and expert testimony on accident reconstruction.
Handle communications with trucking company insurers to secure fair settlements, addressing complex liability issues.
Ready to litigate against trucking companies or insurers for fair compensation if negotiations fail.
Pursue all damages, including medical costs, pain and suffering, and rehabilitation expenses.

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.
