The Danger of Truck Accidents

When an 80,000-pound truck collides with a passenger vehicle, the outcome can be catastrophic. These aren't just car accidents-they're high-impact crashes with devastating consequences.


New Jersey sees hundreds of serious truck accidents every year, especially along commercial corridors like the Garden State Parkway and Route 18. Victims often suffer life-changing injuries, including spinal damage, traumatic brain injuries, or worse. That's why these cases demand aggressive legal representation from an experienced New Jersey truck accident lawyer.

Common Causes of Truck Crashes

Many trucking accidents are caused by preventable negligence-often due to pressure placed on drivers and carriers to meet tight deadlines. Common causes include:

Person with sweat drop, closed eyes, possibly exhausted.

Truck driver fatigue and hours-of-service violations

Unqualified or poorly trained drivers

If you suspect a trucking company cut corners or failed to follow safety rules, our legal team will investigate fully-and hold them accountable.

Trucking Industry Regulations

Unlike typical car crashes, commercial truck accidents involve an added layer of legal complexity. Trucking companies must follow strict rules set by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), including:

Black clock showing 9 o'clock.

Maximum driving hours

Regular vehicle inspections and maintenance

Mandatory driver training and recordkeeping

A violation of these federal regulations can serve as powerful evidence of negligence. Our team knows how to uncover these details and use them to strengthen your case.

Who's Liable in a Truck Accident?

Determining liability after a truck accident isn't always straightforward. Multiple parties could be responsible, including:

  • The truck driver
  • The trucking company
  • Third-party maintenance providers
  • Cargo loaders or shippers
  • Vehicle or parts manufacturers

We move quickly to obtain black box data, review driver logs, preserve maintenance records, and gather witness statements to build a full picture of what went wrong-and who's to blame.

Our Success in Truck Accident Cases

Our firm has a strong record of success in high-stakes truck accident cases. We've secured substantial verdicts and settlements for clients injured by commercial vehicles, including a nearly $3 million award for a client struck by a tractor-trailer in Central New Jersey.
