Trucking Accidents

New Jersey Trucking Accident Lawyer

Aside from being one of the most densely populated states in America, New Jersey also has the distinction of having major interstate highways, including I-80 and I-95 run through it. It is therefore not surprising that interstate truck accidents are all too common in New Jersey. At Davis, Saperstein & Salomon, P.C., our lawyers help people who have been injured in a crash with a semi truck. Contact our North Jersey office, our Edison Area office, or our office in New York if you have been in an accident.

The interstate highway system is used by truckers and trucking companies from all over North America. As a result, thousands of semis and large trucks share New Jersey's roadways with private passenger vehicles. Because these tractor-trailers can weigh in excess of 80,000 pounds, a trucking collision can have deadly consequences.

We evaluate your claim and tell you how much money you may be entitled to receive

There are federal and state laws and regulations designed to protect motorists from the negligent actions of a negligent truck driver. These laws and regulations require truckers to have adequate rest to prevent driver fatigue on the highway. Other causes of trucking accidents include vehicle defects such as bad tires, bad brakes, unsafe speed, unsafe passing, negligent maintenance, and improper loading of materials.

We investigate possible violations of laws and regulations involved in a truck accident

We at Davis, Saperstein & Salomon, P.C. have experience in gathering and evaluating all available evidence after a trucking accident. Today's trucks have several different devices that allow for the reconstruction of trucker's actions just before an impact. This black box can reveal whether or not the truck driver was violating the rules and laws related to operating an over-the-road truck. We also investigate the trucker's driving record to find out of there is a history of alcohol or drug problems.

Davis, Saperstein & Salomon, P.C., has been representing persons who have been injured or killed in trucking collisions since 1981. We are proud to have a staff of professionals ready to investigate trucking cases. Because we prepare every case thoroughly, trucking companies and their insurance companies know that we are ready to go to trial to obtain money damages and compensation for our clients. Often this results in a fair out of court settlement. If, however, the defendant fails to fully accept its financial responsibility, we trust a jury to hear the case and "do the right thing" for our clients. This often results in an acceptable settlement offer.

However, if the offer does not meet the client's needs, our experienced trial lawyers go to court. Whether at trial or in settlement discussions, we have built an enviable record of substantial settlements and judgments that help truck crash victims and their families put their lives back together.
