I'm very pleased with the performance of all the folks who helped me at Lowry and Associates after my car accident a year and a half ago. From Attorney Beardsley who agreed to take my case when another firm I contacted had passed on it, to Annabelle, (a paralegal?) who called consistently every few weeks to keep me abreast on the details of what was happening with my case, and who was very patient and kind even when I expressed frustration when it seemed like nothing was happening. And finally l'm thankful for Attorney Reilly, who worked the details of my case and who, when the time came to negotiate with the other party's insurance company, secured me a settlement way more than I had imagined I would receive. I'm very thankful that all these people aided me at a particularly low point in my life. I'm very grateful for all that they do. Their professionalism and experience really helped me.

I came to this law firm in 2023 after a really bad motorcycle accident. I was afraid and nervous to even make the call but when I connected with Colin he wasted no time at all in getting me in for the in person visit. When my dad and I got to the office I was blown away by the hospitality I was given by Colin himself, I was still on crushes and had all sorts of road rash and he did not do or ask anything about the case further until he knew I was comfortable enough. After three years of the back and forth between both the team and the insurance they made sure they got the most amount of money that they could and the foot work from anabelle is truly incredible. They were in touch every month by phone call (unless nothing happened during that month) and I truly believe there was no other team besides jay, Annabelle and attorney Colin that could have worked my case the way they did. Beyond impressed and I will most definitely be recommending anyone and everyone who asks me if I know a lawyer to Lowry associates. 10/10 thank you guys so so SO much for all of your hard work and support! I truly do hope that we don’t have to have another case together but if something does come up and I need some help I will 100% be calling the 2s again!

If I could give 10 stars I would! Lowry Law is top notch! They were very informative, helpful, and compassionate! Everyone went above and beyond right from the very beginning, not many attorneys would come into the hospital on a Friday evening at 6:30PM and sit and listen for 2 hours, but Attorney Beardsley did! Both Attorney Beardsley and Attorney Reilly, listened, explained thoroughly, and worked so hard and diligently to help make a bad situation, right! Anabelle was always so pleasant and helpful keeping me updated along the way! I highly recommend this law firm to anyone who is looking for a professional, responsive and compassionate team, this is the place! Thank you Lowry Law for all your dedication and hard work for me!

He works with patience and superior strategies. The team was very gentle to me during a very rough time making me feel connected. The team was very responsive for any questions I had. I couldn’t recommend the firm enough. I will always come back if I need a lawyer again!

I got the chance to meet quite a few of the employees here, Attorney’s included and everyone was beyond kind and helpful with every interaction. They made sure I understood the process and helped guide me through tough decisions and moments while they took care of all the heavy hard work behind the scenes. I am so so grateful for them throughout the whole process. Thank you all - Attorney Reilly, Attorney Winslow, Attorney Beardsley, Lucien, (and Anabelle too!!) for clear and constant communication and most importantly for representing me and making sure my voice was heard. I appreciate you all so much.

I was involved in a head on car crash in the fall of 2023. Lowry and Associates were amazing from day 1. James Beardsley came out to my place of residence for our first meeting. He was pleasant and explained how the entire process worked. He assured me that I wouldn’t have to worry about anything, just healing. The office kept in contact with me every month and a half updating me on what was taking place. By then end I was working with Ashley who drove out to me so I could sign the finalized documents. Everything went smoothly and quicker than expected. The whole process was a little over a year. If you are ever hesitant to get a lawyer or not- GET A LAWYER. Call the 2’s. I’m so thankful I wasn’t injured more, thankful my unborn baby is alive and thriving and I’m thankful to be alive. It could have been much worse. Thank you so much to everyone on the Lowry & Associates Team! Kristen Dail

Lowry & Associates settled my case after a very bad motorcycle accident . I was in the hospital with several broken bones when Mr James Beardsley came to see me there. I was worried because i knew this was going to be a long hard recovery and I would have to be out of work, but Lowry & Associates took on my case that very day- that helped to put my mind at ease so I could concentrate on getting better physically. They always kept me updated on how the case was progressing, and even came to my home with very good news of reaching a settlement in the case! After all of the hard work from Lowry & Associates they got me the money I deserved and I am so grateful to everyone who worked on my case . Definitely 5 stars for Lowry & Associates!

They worked with me and had patience with me and worked to get what I deserved and they did all the work for me and I didn’t have to do any of the work but stay back and recover from my accident. They came out to me since I couldn’t get to their office and paid for a meal for me and their was times where I was hard to get ahold of and they still fought for me and was my voice they mean business. They get what they want when they want. They listen and they actually care unlike most lawyers. They get to know u and they actually call and check up on me if they haven’t heard from me. They will make sure u are taking care of and they actually make sure everyone is paid so u don’t have to have that stress on u. If you need a lawyer for any car accident or other service they do. I would call them up and hire them because they are an awesome place to To go to thank you very much for fighting for me and being my voice.

In June of 2022, a pickup truck veered across the center line and hit us nearly head-on. The accident resulted in serious injuries, hospitalization, and months of recovery. We called the twos, Lowry & Associates. Atty. Beardsley came to our home to assist us in initiating a legal process. The loss of our vehicle and healthcare costs were covered, and damages were awarded. Everyone at Lowry & Associates has been very professional and helpful throughout the process. We highly recommend Lowry & Associates.

Jim and his team helped resolve my case. The other persons insurance company was not easy to deal with. They just seemed to want to find ways to avoid paying my claim. The initial offer wasn't even enough to pay my medical bills. Lowry and associates worked to achieve a reasonable settlement. Thanks Lowry+Associates. S.Waltman

I highly recommend Lowery and Associates. My case was considerably tricky with Soo many hurdles that were not "the norm." We had never filed a law suit before and knew nothing about what needed to be done. Attorney Beardsley and his team was very professional and kept me informed every step of the way. I never felt like just another number to them. They were all very helpful and compassionate and very patient. They fought for me to get what was right and fair for me to receive. And I am incredibly grateful!

With bills from physical therapy piling up I called the office where they made the process so easy and took care of all the intricate dealings with insurance companies. Best decision and phone call i could have made. Thank you.

You handled everything, all we had to do was concentrate on him and his treatment. You handled the paperwork on medical expenses that were overwhelming to say the least especially when we found out the woman had no insurance. You assured us all we needed to do was concentrate on him and his treatment. It truly was a piece of mind having someone who knows and understood how to take care of it! Thanks again!!

After a major motorcycle accident involving another driver making a left turn directly in front of me, Lowry and Associates got involved because I had hit a dead end and they worked on my case for a couple years. Finally they were able to settle my case and get compensation for me that allows me to move forward. It doesn't change the permanent injuries I suffered but allows me to close that chapter and move forward. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again if needed!

You will not be disappointed! My wife was in a horrific car crash that was no fault of her own. Ashley, Kathy, and team were so empathetic, sympathetic, and caring that it made us feel as if we were family. We rec'd more than expected and in half the time expected. This was so appreciated as bills were mounting, but Ashley and Kathy were with us every step of the way to put our stress in check. Where they are was convenient to me. However, after my dealings with this firm, I will travel as far as necessary to go there should I ever need the services of a law firm again. They made it as easy as possible, even though this was the worst experience of our lives. We were emotionally distraught, but they were a HUGE part of the healing process. Our best interest was ALWAYS at the forefront with these wonderful people. As bad as the accident was, I couldn't imagine going though that without the compassion of Ashley and Kathy. They both worked so very, very hard in our behalf and we owe a huge debt of gratitude to them and their team!

What to Do If You’re Involved in a Portland Truck Accident

After a truck accident in Portland, there are key steps you can take to protect your rights and set yourself up for a successful legal outcome. Here’s what you should do immediately after the accident:

1. Ensure Your Safety & Seek Medical Attention

Your first priority should always be your safety. Move to a safe location if you’re able and call 911 to report the accident. Even if you feel fine, seek medical attention. Some injuries may not be immediately apparent but can have serious long-term effects. Having medical records will also be important if you decide to pursue a claim later.

2. Document the Accident Scene

If you are able, gather as much information as possible from the accident scene. Take photos of the vehicles, road conditions, and any visible injuries. Get the contact information of witnesses and the truck driver, as well as their insurance details. This documentation will be valuable when building your case.

3. Get Representation Before Speaking to Insurance

Avoid speaking to the truck driver’s insurance company or any adjusters without first consulting a lawyer. Insurance adjusters may use tactics to minimize your claim or shift blame. Referring them to your attorney is the best way to protect your settlement. Our truck accident lawyers at Lowry Law understand these tactics and can fight back on your behalf to help ensure you receive the compensation you may be owed.

4. Be Aware of the Statute of Limitations

In Maine, the statute of limitations gives you up to 6 years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit. However, some cases may have shorter deadlines as little as 30 days, so seek legal representation as soon as possible to avoid missing your opportunity to pursue compensation. Once the statute of limitations expires, you will likely lose the right to recover damages.

5. Don’t Delay—Get Legal Support

Truck accidents are complex, often involving multiple parties and insurance companies. Lowry Law has the knowledge and resources to help you through every step of the process. From negotiating with insurance companies to representing you in court, we are here to help you seek justice and compensation for your injuries.

Common Causes of Truck Accidents

Truck accidents can result from a variety of factors that make them different from the average car accident. Issues such as fatigue, driver error, mechanical failure, and road conditions are often at play. Here are some of the common causes of truck accidents:

  • Defective equipment: It’s not unusual for trucks to have defective parts, which can lead to serious accidents. For example, a malfunctioning brake or tire can cause a truck to jackknife, putting the driver and others on the road at risk.
  • Drunk driving: In some cases, truck drivers engage in reckless behavior, including driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. This puts everyone on the road in danger.
  • Poor maintenance: Trucks require regular maintenance to operate safely. Failure to keep up with maintenance can lead to equipment failure and serious accidents.
  • Untrained drivers: Some trucking companies may fail to provide their drivers with proper training. This lack of training increases the risk of avoidable accidents.
  • Driver fatigue: Truck drivers are often pushed to meet tight delivery deadlines, causing them to drive long hours without adequate rest. Fatigue can impair judgment and cause drivers to fall asleep at the wheel.
  • Cargo problems: Accidents can occur when cargo is improperly loaded or unevenly distributed, leading to dangerous imbalances that affect the truck’s handling.

Truck accidents can have devastating consequences, but knowing the cause can help you understand your situation better. If you or someone you love has been injured, it’s important to speak to an experienced Portland semi-truck accident lawyer to discuss your rights and options.

Compensable Injuries in a Truck Accident Claim

In a truck accident claim, several types of injuries can be considered compensable, meaning that you can recover money for the damages you’ve suffered. Some common compensable injuries include:

  • Head and Brain Injuries: Traumatic brain injuries (TBI), concussions, and other head trauma are common in truck accidents and can result in long-term physical and cognitive disabilities.
  • Spinal Cord and Back Injuries: Injuries to the spine or back can lead to chronic pain, paralysis, or mobility issues. These injuries often require expensive ongoing treatments or surgeries.
  • Broken Bones: Fractures can result from the force of a truck collision and may require extensive rehabilitation, leaving you unable to work for a long period.
  • Internal Injuries: The impact of a truck accident can cause damage to internal organs, leading to life-threatening conditions that require immediate medical attention.
  • Soft Tissue Injuries: These include injuries to muscles, ligaments, and tendons, such as whiplash or sprains, which can cause lingering pain and require physical therapy.
  • Cuts, Bruises, and Burns: While these may seem less severe, deep lacerations or burns can result in significant medical bills, scarring, or permanent disfigurement.

If you’ve suffered any injuries and are dealing with mounting medical bills, missed work, and emotional stress, you may be entitled to compensation. A successful truck accident claim can help cover the cost of medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages. However, pursuing this compensation can be complex. A Portland truck accident attorney can help you recover comprehensive damages for current and future losses.

Liability and Your Truck Accident Lawsuit

Under Maine’s comparative negligence laws, if you are found to hold 50% or more of the blame for your accident, you may not be eligible to seek compensation. Furthermore, any percentage of fault assigned to you can reduce the amount of your final settlement. For example, if you’re found to be 10% at fault, that percentage will be deducted from your recovery amount.

The fault for a truck accident may be shared among multiple parties, including:

  • The truck driver
  • The trucking company that employs the driver
  • The owner of the truck or vehicle fleet
  • The manufacturer of the truck or its parts (in cases of mechanical failure)
  • The company that leased the truck
  • The shipping company responsible for loading the cargo
  • The company that performs maintenance on the truck

Each of these parties may play a role in contributing to the accident, making it essential to work with a lawyer who understands the complexities of truck accident claims. By carefully investigating the incident, your attorney can help establish which parties are responsible and hold them accountable.

Why Hire a Portland Truck Accident Lawyer?

After a truck accident, you may be dealing with physical pain, emotional trauma, and financial stress from medical bills and lost wages. Navigating the legal system on your own can add even more pressure to an already difficult situation. This is where hiring a truck accident lawyer in Portland can make a significant difference.

Truck accidents are not like typical car accidents. Multiple parties could be responsible, including the truck driver, the trucking company, the manufacturer of the truck or its parts, and even the cargo loading company. Establishing who is at fault requires an in-depth investigation and legal knowledge. A truck accident lawyer can help you identify all the liable parties and build a strong case on your behalf.

Insurance companies often try to minimize payouts or deny claims altogether, especially in complex cases like truck accidents. Without legal representation, you may find yourself facing tactics designed to reduce the compensation you may be entitled to under the law. An experienced lawyer can negotiate aggressively on your behalf to ensure that the insurance companies don’t take advantage of you.

A knowledgeable truck accident lawyer will help calculate the full value of your claim, taking into account medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and any future rehabilitation needs. By working with an attorney, you are more likely to secure the compensation necessary to recover fully from your injuries.

Lowry Law has been helping clients in Maine since 1971. Our team understands the unique challenges of truck accident cases and is dedicated to ensuring that our clients receive the compensation they may qualify for. We are available 24/7 to take your call and provide a free consultation to discuss your legal options.

Hiring a truck accident attorney can relieve the legal burden on your shoulders so that you can focus on healing. Let Lowry Law in Portland, ME fight for the full compensation you may deserve.

How Much Are Most Truck Accident Settlements?

The value of a truck accident settlement depends on factors like:

  • The severity of your injuries
  • The extent of property damage
  • Liability

Truck accidents often result in higher settlements due to the serious nature of injuries such as traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, or even death. Compensation may cover medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and property damage. Not only will a settlement cover current and past losses, but the right attorney will help you explore what damages you may incur in the future so that you can recover those as well.

In the tragic event of a wrongful death, families may also pursue damages for funeral costs, loss of companionship, and future financial support. While no settlement can replace the loss of a loved one, working with an experienced truck accident lawyer in Portland can help ensure you receive the full compensation that may be owed to you under the law. An attorney can guide you through this challenging process and help ease the financial burdens associated with the accident.

Truck accidents can take many forms, depending on the type of truck involved and the nature of the crash. The size and function of large trucks often exacerbate the severity of the accident. Here are some of the most common types of trucks and accidents involved in collisions:

Common Types of Big Trucks

  • 18-Wheelers / Semi-Trucks: These large trucks are used to haul freight across long distances. Due to their size and weight, accidents involving semi-trucks can be particularly devastating.
  • Tanker Trucks: These trucks carry liquids or gases, sometimes hazardous materials. In the event of a crash, tanker trucks pose additional risks such as spills, fires, or explosions.
  • Flatbed Trucks: These vehicles have open beds that carry oversized or heavy loads. If cargo is not properly secured, it can lead to accidents where debris falls onto the road or strikes other vehicles.
  • Dump Trucks: Commonly used in construction, dump trucks haul loose materials such as gravel or dirt. Their high center of gravity makes them more prone to rollover accidents.
  • Delivery Trucks: Box trucks or delivery vehicles, frequently seen in urban areas, often cause accidents due to the frequent stopping and starting of deliveries.

Common Types of Truck Accidents

  • Head-on collisions: These occur when a truck crashes directly into another vehicle, often resulting in severe injuries or fatalities.
  • Sideswipe accidents: This type of crash happens when a truck makes contact with the side of another vehicle, potentially causing the smaller vehicle to lose control.
  • Rear-end collisions: A truck rear-ending a smaller vehicle can cause devastating injuries due to the size and weight disparity between the two vehicles.
  • Rollover accidents: Large trucks, especially those carrying heavy or improperly balanced loads, are more prone to tipping over, which can result in catastrophic damage to nearby vehicles.
  • T-bone accidents: These crashes occur when a truck hits another vehicle from the side, often at intersections, and can result in serious injuries to the vehicle occupants.
