serious auto & truck collisions

Injuries and death resulting from the negligent operation or maintenance of a motor vehicle, including cars, motorcycles, all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) and trucks, comprise one of the largest categories of personal injury-related claims. These claims often become highly complex and result in contentious litigation over monetary damages. It’s important to explore and present all the facts that may have contributed to an auto or truck accident claim. We know that every case has clear and winnable facts that demand early detection, and can be the difference between winning or losing. It is critical to take immediate action to protect valuable evidence for your case, such as securing police reports and ambulance/hospital records, while also pursuing other avenues of recovery. These include insurance issues involving uninsured or underinsured motorists and fair compensation for immediate and long-term care.

Faxon Law Group has litigated and recovered compensation for clients in some of the toughest, most complex auto and truck injury cases, including a fatal crash on I-95 involving a commercial trucking transit, resulting in $30 million in combined settlements; an $11 million judgment against a reckless trucking company for fatally injuring a single mother; and a $10 million verdict and lifetime benefits obtained for a child who was struck and critically injured by a negligent motorist. Partner Joel Faxon is also a contributing author of Truck Accident Litigation, Second Edition, published by the American Bar Association in 2006.
