The short answer.
If a tractor trailer hurt you in New Jersey, you may be able to claim compensation from the driver, the trucking company, or others involved. Most NJ injury lawsuits must be filed within 2 years. We review your case for free and charge no fee unless we win.
Who can be held responsible.
The truck driver
Speeding, driving while tired or distracted, or breaking safety rules can cause a serious crash
The trucking company
Poor hiring and training, or pressure on drivers to skip rest and drive too long.
The cargo loader
Overloaded or badly balanced cargo can make a truck hard to control or cause it to tip.
-
A fully loaded truck can weigh up to 80,000 pounds, so a crash with a car often causes severe injuries.
-
Federal rules limit driving hours and require rest breaks, and breaking them can also help prove fault.
-
Driver logs and black box data can often be erased, so we send a request to keep this evidence quickly.
-
Trucking companies and their insurers often send investigators to the scene fast to protect themselves.
