New Jersey Trucking Accident Lawyer
Holding Negligent Truck Drivers and Commercial Vehicle Operators Responsible
The risks and dangers of driving are increased when the vehicle is a semi truck. Large trucks are more difficult to stop, their weight increases the seriousness of accidents and injuries, and economic pressures lead to numerous violations regarding miles and hours driven. In addition to these factors, numerous other issues can lead to truck accidents, including:
- Turn accidents in which too little space is available for a safe turn
- Lane change accidents in which the driver fails to see a small vehicle
- Failure to follow basic driving rules and laws, such speeding and intersection violations
- Accidents caused by driver fatigue
- Failure to see a car directly in front of a truck due to the height of the truck and driver negligence
- Truck driver substance abuse
- The overloading of trucks
- Driving hour log violations
