How are commercial truck accident claims handled?
Regulations regarding the hours a truck driver can operate their vehicle and how much weight they are allowed to carry are strictly enforced in the state of New Jersey. Unfortunately, this does not always mean that drivers adhere to them 100 percent of the time.
If an accident involving a commercial truck occurs, you are required to prove the following:
- The truck driver was supposed to exercise reasonable care on the road
- The truck driver's failure to do so led to a serious accident
- The truck driver's failure to do so caused your injuries
Proving these factors verifies that the truck driver demonstrated negligence while driving and can be held at fault for the accident. However, it is not always the truck driver alone who is at fault; you can bring a claim against the driver' company, the truck owner, the maintenance team, and even the trust manufacturer if they are found to be at fault. It can be difficult to go up against a large trucking company, as they impose certain insurance amounts which can hinder you from recovering the full amount.
Our firm is not intimidated by insurance companies or major trucking corporations. We are capable of acting as the go-between, which takes the burden off your shoulders and puts it into our confident hands.
