Were You Injured Driving A Commercial Truck?

Our Truck Accident Lawyers Can Help!

Although truck drivers are responsible for an accident in the same manner as a driver of any other vehicle, it is important to note that the circumstances surrounding truck accidents are somewhat different than those of personal vehicle accidents. Accidents involving 18-wheelers, semi-trucks, dump trucks, box trucks, delivery vans and other types of commercial vehicles often are more serious due to the weight and size of the truck, especially when compared to smaller, lighter cars.  Not only are these accidents more serious, there are also additional regulations on trucks that aren’t present in car accident cases you can find out more about by checking the hit-and-run accident statistics.

Due to the heightened responsibility of driving a large truck, there are many New Jersey and Federal laws in place which regulate:

• Hours of Operation and Rest
• Mobile Phone Use
• Driving Under the Influence

Commercial Truck Accident & Injury Claims
