One of the first strategies an insurance company may use after a serious truck crash is to argue that you were partly to blame.

In Maine, fault matters. Under the state's comparative negligence law, the amount a person can recover may be reduced by their share of responsibility, and in some cases, recovery may not be available if they are found to be equally or more at fault.

That's why truck accident cases are built on evidence, not assumptions. Electronic data, driver logs, crash reconstruction, witness testimony, and other critical evidence can make the difference when fault is disputed.

At Berman & Simmons, we know that establishing what truly happened begins with a thorough investigation, because the facts should determine responsibility, not an insurer's first impression. https://bit.ly/3V8faW7

Berman & Simmons' attorneys Travis M. Brennan and Charles P. Hehmeyer have filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Franklin Sports on behalf of the family of 6-year-old Lucy Morgan, who died after a metal badminton racket shaft separated from its handle during normal play and impaled her skull while her family was vacationing in Maine.

The lawsuit alleges the racket was defective and unreasonably dangerous and seeks to hold Franklin Sports accountable for Lucy’s death.

“This case represents a parent’s worst nightmare. The Morgan family was enjoying an idyllic summer vacation here in Maine when they lost Lucy due to what we allege was a dangerous and defective piece of sports equipment. We are committed to obtaining justice for Lucy by holding Franklin Sports accountable. We want to ensure these rackets are manufactured in a way where this type of tragedy never occurs again,” said Berman & Simmons attorney Travis M. Brennan.

There's a common assumption that if a commercial truck causes a catastrophic crash, responsibility will be obvious.

Reality is rarely that simple.

Within hours of a serious collision, trucking companies often begin protecting evidence, interviewing witnesses, and building their defense. By the time many families are trying to process what happened, the investigation has already begun.

That's why truck accident cases are built on facts collected early, expert analysis, and relentless preparation.

For more than a century, Berman & Simmons has earned its reputation by taking on the largest defendants in Maine and pursuing accountability when lives have been permanently changed. https://bit.ly/48cH4aV

When you're injured in an Uber or Lyft crash, the biggest question isn't always who caused the collision. It's often which insurance policy applies.

Rideshare accidents can involve multiple layers of insurance coverage depending on whether the driver was waiting for a ride request, on the way to pick up a passenger, or actively transporting someone. Determining responsibility can be far more complicated than in a typical car crash.

At Berman & Simmons, we know that serious rideshare injury cases require a thorough investigation from the very beginning. Our team works to identify every available source of compensation so clients and their families can focus on what matters most: rebuilding their lives after a devastating crash. https://bit.ly/4gMo0op

A collision with a commercial vehicle can leave a family facing a lifetime of challenges in an instant.

Our team secured a $10 million settlement in a commercial vehicle accident case, helping provide the financial resources needed after a life-changing event. While no amount of money can undo the harm that was done, holding those responsible accountable can make a meaningful difference for the future. https://bit.ly/47qWYfX

Case results depend on the unique facts and circumstances of each case. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome.

FAQ: What is a loss of consortium claim?

A catastrophic injury or wrongful death changes far more than a person's physical health. It can permanently alter the relationship they share with their spouse.

A loss of consortium claim recognizes those deeply personal losses, including the loss of companionship, affection, emotional support, intimacy, and the everyday partnership that once defined a marriage. While no legal action can restore what has been taken, the law allows these profound impacts to be acknowledged as part of a personal injury or wrongful death case.

At Berman & Simmons, we take the time to understand how a tragedy has changed every aspect of a family's life so the full scope of those losses is reflected throughout the case. https://bit.ly/46PSIr7

A devastating truck crash is rarely just "an accident."

The most important questions often aren't answered at the scene. What safety rule was ignored? Could this collision have been prevented? Who in the transportation chain failed to do their job?

Building a catastrophic truck accident or wrongful death case means uncovering those answers and documenting the full impact the crash has had on the injured person or surviving family. That includes not only immediate losses, but also the lifelong medical, financial, and personal consequences that follow.

At Berman & Simmons, we know that accountability begins with discovering why the crash happened in the first place. https://bit.ly/3V8faW7

Great legal advocacy begins with listening.

Attorney Charles M. King believes the strongest cases are built by understanding each client's story and making sure their voice is heard. With experience handling serious personal injury and wrongful death cases, Charlie combines meticulous preparation with skilled advocacy to pursue the best possible outcome for the people he represents.

His background in physics gives him a unique perspective when analyzing the mechanical failures often at the center of catastrophic injury cases, while his extensive appellate and trial experience helps him tackle even the most complex legal issues. As a contributing author to "Maine Tort Law," Charlie also helps shape the legal knowledge relied upon by attorneys across the state.

At Berman & Simmons, attorneys like Charlie are committed to delivering the thoughtful, client-centered representation Maine families deserve when the stakes are highest. https://bit.ly/4gMlcrn

Every workplace has risks. But no one should lose their life because known safety hazards were ignored.

The preliminary findings in the Woodland Pulp investigation highlight why independent investigations matter after a fatal workplace incident. They can uncover critical failures, answer difficult questions for grieving families, and help hold companies accountable when preventable tragedies occur.

At Berman & Simmons, we believe every family deserves the truth. That commitment is why we take on complex wrongful death cases and work relentlessly to uncover what happened when lives are forever changed. https://bit.ly/4fsCAzb
