New Jersey Truck Accident Lawyer

New Jersey Truck Accident Lawyer — Fighting for Injured Victims

Commercial truck accidents on New Jersey's busy interstates and highways cause some of the most catastrophic injuries our attorneys see. Tractor-trailers, 18-wheelers, delivery trucks, and tanker trucks are present throughout New Jersey's transportation corridors, including I-95, I-78, I-80, Route 1, and the NJ Turnpike.

Truck accident cases differ from ordinary car accident claims in important ways. Trucking companies and their insurance carriers have teams of lawyers and accident investigators on the scene quickly to protect their interests. Federal trucking regulations (FMCSA) govern driver hours, vehicle maintenance, cargo loading, and driver qualifications.

Our truck accident attorneys immediately issue litigation holds to preserve evidence from the trucking company, including black box data (Electronic Logging Devices), driver logs, maintenance records, dispatch records, and surveillance footage. This evidence can be overwritten or destroyed quickly if not preserved.

Multiple parties may be liable in a truck accident: the truck driver, the trucking company, the cargo loader, the truck manufacturer (for defective parts), and even the entity responsible for road maintenance. We investigate every angle to maximize your recovery.

What Compensation Can You Recover?

Frequently Asked Questions

What federal regulations apply to truck drivers?

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulates hours of service (max 11 hours of driving per shift), mandatory rest periods, drug and alcohol testing, and vehicle inspection requirements. Violations are powerful evidence of negligence.

Why are truck accident settlements typically larger?

Because injuries are more severe, damages are higher, and trucking companies carry significantly larger insurance policies — often $1 million or more — compared to personal auto policies.

How quickly should I contact a lawyer after a truck accident?

Immediately. Trucking companies send investigators to accident scenes very quickly. You need an attorney preserving evidence on your behalf from day one.
