The Reality of Truck Accidents
Each year, millions of people are involved in motor vehicle accidents, many resulting in catastrophic injuries or fatalities. When a large commercial truck is involved, the consequences are often devastating. These vehicles can weigh up to 80,000 pounds, and even a minor mistake by a truck driver can lead to life-altering harm.
That’s why the trucking industry is subject to strict safety regulations—not just under Connecticut law, but also the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Act (FMCSA). Despite these regulations, serious accidents still happen. If you or a loved one has been injured in a truck crash, a trusted Somers truck accident lawyer at Etemi Law can help protect your rights and hold the trucking company accountable.
What Makes Truck Accident Cases So Complex?
Truck accidents differ from typical car crashes. The parties involved often include not just the truck driver, but also the trucking company, vehicle manufacturer, maintenance providers, and freight contractors.
As your Somers truck accident lawyer, Etemi Law investigates all aspects of your case, including:
The truck driver’s logs, background, and driving history
Maintenance records and safety inspections
Black box (EDR) data
Compliance with FMCSA and Connecticut CDL regulations
We use accident reconstruction experts, human factors specialists, and trucking safety consultants to build a rock-solid case against all responsible parties.
Common Causes of Truck Accidents in Connecticut
Even experienced drivers can make dangerous mistakes behind the wheel of a commercial vehicle. Common causes of truck accidents include:
Speeding
Distracted driving, including cell phone use and GPS navigation
Fatigued driving or violations of Hours-of-Service regulations
Improper lookout – failure to observe surrounding traffic
Driving too fast for weather or road conditions
As noted in the Connecticut CDL Manual:
“To be a safe driver you need to know what’s going on all around your vehicle. Not looking properly is a major cause of accidents.”
A skilled Somers truck accident lawyer will investigate how these issues contributed to your crash—and pursue full compensation for your injuries.
Why Timing Is Critical in Truck Accident Cases
Trucking companies act fast—often deploying defense attorneys, insurance agents, and accident reconstructionists to the scene on the very day of the crash. Their goal is to control the narrative and minimize your claim.
At Etemi Law, we move just as fast. As soon as you contact us, a Somers truck accident lawyer will:
✅ Launch an immediate investigation
✅ Preserve critical evidence before it disappears
✅ Demand access to driver logs, vehicle data, and corporate records

As Somers moves from quiet weekdays into crowded weekends, truck traffic along Route 190 shifts — delivery rigs, landscaping dump trucks and boat haulers merge into corridors that feed popular park entrances. Those narrow shoulders and fast-moving commuter traffic create higher-risk points where large vehicles and recreational users converge, producing complex crash scenes that demand careful on-site triage and scene reconstruction.
When trucks misjudge a tight parking aisle at Salmon Brook Park or strike cyclists emerging from a trailhead, injuries range from broken bones and spinal compression to traumatic brain injury and deep lacerations. Witnesses at picnic areas are often first to help until professional responders arrive; early imaging and the decision to move a patient by road or to await specialized transfer can shape immediate surgical needs.
Somers Volunteer Ambulance crews typically arrive quickly on narrow town roads but may route patients to nearby emergency departments or coordinate air or ground transfers to regional trauma centers when injuries exceed local capabilities. Patterns after serious truck crashes often include brief acute stays, interfacility transfer for complex orthopedic or neuro care, and months of staged rehabilitation — outpatient therapy in Somers followed by intensive rehab at specialized centers.
On weekends when Shenipsit State Forest draws hikers, anglers and paddlers, parking lots and river access points concentrate foot traffic near delivery routes, complicating extrication and lengthening on-scene times. I look for patterns: vehicle position, skid marks, and witness timelines from trailheads and launch areas, because those details often explain why patients needed interfacility transfer, prolonged hospitalization, or extended outpatient therapy.
