New Jersey Truck Accident Lawyer

Truck accidents are among the most devastating incidents on New Jersey’s roads. Due to the size and weight of commercial trucks, collisions often lead to catastrophic injuries, overwhelming medical expenses, and lasting physical and emotional trauma. If you or a loved one has been injured in a truck crash, Greenberg Gross LLP’s team of experienced New Jersey truck accident lawyers is ready to help you hold the responsible parties accountable and recover compensation for your losses.

Navigating a truck accident claim requires a deep understanding of federal regulations, commercial vehicle operations, and New Jersey law. We have the experience, resources, and dedication to take on powerful trucking companies and insurance companies—ensuring accident victims get the justice they deserve.

Why Truck Accidents Are So Complex

Truck accident cases differ significantly from typical auto accident claims. Commercial truck accidents often involve multiple parties, including the driver, the trucking company, vehicle manufacturers, and even cargo loaders. These parties may share liability, and each will likely have their own legal representation and insurance policies.

Truck accident victims frequently suffer severe, life-altering injuries. Common truck accident injuries include:

• Traumatic brain injuries
  
• Spinal cord damage
  
• Broken bones
  
• Internal injuries
  
• Severe disability and loss of enjoyment of life
  
• Future medical bills and long-term medical treatment
  

In such an incident, the legal and financial stakes are high. Working with an experienced truck accident attorney is essential to protect your rights and maximize your compensation.

Common Causes of Truck Accidents in New Jersey

• Driver Fatigue: Many truck drivers are pushed beyond legal limits, leading to fatigue and slower reaction times.
  
• Distracted Driving: Using phones or navigation systems while driving a commercial truck can be deadly.
  
• Improper Maintenance: Failure to maintain brakes, tires, or lights can contribute to truck crashes.
  
• Negligent Hiring: Trucking companies may be liable for hiring unqualified or dangerous drivers.
  
• Overloaded Trailers: Improperly loaded or overweight trailers can lead to loss of control and rollovers.
  

Greenberg Gross LLP investigates every detail of your truck accident case, including police reports, federal safety records, truck maintenance logs, and the backgrounds of the parties involved.
