However, the knowledgeable and experienced attorneys at Flynn Law, in Mount Laurel have the knowledge and experience to guide you through this very difficult time after your commercial truck or tractor-trailer accident.

Accidents involving commercial trucks or tractor-trailers can be extremely costly and time-consuming, especially when it comes to evidence collection and courtroom procedure. It is vital to work with an experienced and knowledgeable truck accident attorney in New Jersey for the strength of your case and the amount of compensation you receive.

Understanding Truck Accidents In New Jersey

While there are thousands of different possible factors that could have caused your commercial truck or tractor-trailer accident, there are some factors that are more common in New Jersey, New York, Delaware and Pennsylvania.

Common causes of truck accidents include:

  • The commercial truck has not received the necessary maintenance to ensure that the brakes are functioning efficiently and as intended. Due to the large weight and force behind these commercial trucks, the brakes must be properly maintained and not allowed to degrade.
  • Traffic has been stopped due to a large amount of congestion during high-traffic times in high-traffic areas, or an accident has occurred on the roadway.
  • The commercial truck driver is under the influence of prescription drugs that impair their ability to drive their truck safely.
  • A commercial truck is speeding or traveling too fast for the roadway conditions such as speeding during a snowstorm here in New Jersey. Because of the tremendous force of a speeding commercial truck, it can be nearly impossible to adapt to changing traffic and road conditions.
  • The driver of the truck is unfamiliar with the makeup and traffic laws of a certain roadway leading to distracted driving or illegal moves in traffic. For example, a truck driver turns left in a right-turn-only lane hitting someone in oncoming traffic.
  • The road a truck driver is traveling on has issues such as incomplete or damaged roads, or there are unknown hazards on the road, such as a ladder falling off the bed of a pickup truck, and the truck driver cannot see it until it’s too late.
  • The commercial truck comes across a crosswalk or traffic stop device meant to control traffic, but the truck driver ignores it.

General fatigue of truck drivers who have been placed into working conditions that require them to go without sleep for long periods. Without proper rest, it is extremely difficult and dangerous to drive a commercial truck.

Building A Strong Case On Your Behalf

Our personal injury lawyers have represented thousands of clients injured in commercial truck accidents over the years. These years of experience have allowed us to simplify and break down the complexity of commercial truck accidents. Much of this complexity comes from the possibly numerous parties that are responsible for the injuries you sustained during your accident. With all these possibly responsible parties, there is a significant amount of research and evidence collection that needs to take place to accurately and quickly assign blame to whoever is responsible.

Research and evidence collection requires a substantial amount of money and time to be invested in the case to be adequately completed and set your case up for victory. Without a solid base of evidence and research, the case is often handicapped and your compensation reduced at the end of a trial.

We Untangle The Complex Insurance Web For You

Dealing with insurance coverage in these commercial truck accident cases can often be a total nightmare due to the long and branching lines of insurance coverage. All these different insurance lines add to the complexity of the negotiations with the defendant insurance companies trying to muddy the water in a court case. Just as an example of the possible complicating factors, in many cases the truck and the trailer are owned by two separate companies and are insured under several different insurance companies. While this does add complexity on our side it is possibly beneficial for you as all these companies can be held responsible for increasing the compensation you receive.

To adequately represent a commercial truck accident client, immense experience is required to prove several very complicated factors. One of these factors may be proving that a specific part on the commercial truck or tractor-trailer failed and caused the accident you were involved in. Another example would be proving that a specific hiring practice or company policy led to your accident.

Due to the complicated nature of the evidence collection, these cases can be very expensive and time-consuming. However, due to our extensive connections with experts and witnesses with extensive knowledge of factors related to commercial truck accidents, we can cut down on costs and time spent on evidence collection and research.

Commercial Trucking Accident Settlements

After your truck accident, you must seek out medical treatment or diagnosis for your injuries regardless of how minor they may seem, from a practicing medical professional. Not only will this doctor visit help to diagnose or treat any injuries, they may save you from possibly life-threatening complications showing up weeks to months after your accident. A doctor’s diagnosis and treatment can help to set the baseline for the damages you are owed from the responsible party. However, all these doctor visits and medical treatments can quickly bury you under a mountain of medical bills.

These medical bills can be extremely difficult to pay off due to injuries sustained from the accident and any lost wages because of your injuries. Unfortunately, insurance companies and adjusters know this and will often offer significantly lower settlements than you are owed. They hope that the pressure of the medical bills will force you into taking terrible offers just to pay off those medical bills. Do not fall into this trap, as the first offer from an insurance company will always be pathetically low and your case is worth so much more.

It is imperative that if you are the victim of a commercial truck accident, whether you are driving the truck or an unlucky motorist, you know your legal rights. The most important of these is your right to recover any lost wages, medical expenses and damages that you are owed after your commercial truck accident. We here at Flynn Law, aggressively represent our clients and will fight tooth and nail to ensure that you get the compensation you deserve. We do this by maximizing your settlement offers or representing you in a court of law.
