What you do after an accident with a commercial truck matters when it comes to protecting your claim for compensation. If you have already received medical care, focus on gathering information and protecting your legal rights.
We advise you to take the following steps to ensure your claim is as strong as possible:
In New Jersey, you have two years from the date of the accident to file a claim for damages in a truck accident. This is a strict deadline, and it can be difficult to meet if you are not prepared. For that reason, contact an attorney promptly to begin building your case.
There are several types of damages available in truck accident injury claims. Our New Jersey truck crash attorneys are dedicated to calculating the full extent of your losses to demand the full amount of compensation you need.
Economic damages are designed to compensate you for the actual financial losses you have sustained due to the accident. We work diligently to document every expense to ensure your claim reflects the full impact on your finances.
Economic damages include:
Non-economic damages address the intangible, yet significant, personal impacts that a serious truck accident has on your quality of life. Our attorneys focus on articulating these subjective losses to ensure the insurance carrier recognizes the human cost of your suffering.
Non-economic damages include:
Our New Jersey truck accident lawyers work hard to pursue the best possible outcome for our clients. If you choose us, we’ll work to help you recover compensation for as much of your medical expenses, lost income, and other losses as possible after a truck wreck.
In some cases, we may also seek punitive damages when the defendant’s conduct was especially reckless or egregious. Our goal is to help restore your financial stability so you can move forward with your life.
The truck operator, the trucking company that employed the driver, and any companies involved in the transportation of goods are all potential defendants after a commercial truck crash. Trucking companies can be held responsible for inadequate training, driver fatigue, and poor oversight.
Operators can be held responsible for failing to inspect and maintain their vehicles, failing to properly secure cargo, or ignoring rest break requirements.
You do not need to know who is specifically responsible for your injuries, as your New Jersey truck crash lawyer can help you determine liability.
The legal team at Stark & Stark has handled countless truck accident claims. Below are the primary services we offer to our clients:
Do not speak with the defendant’s insurance company until you have contacted a New Jersey truck accident attorney. Tell the insurer you will communicate through a lawyer, even if you have not hired one yet. You do not need to explain that you are still looking.
Get their information, but make no statements regarding the accident. Then contact Stark & Stark to discuss your case for free.
A truck’s black box monitors the vehicle’s movement, speed, and braking distance. It can be used to determine whether or not the driver was negligent in any way that contributed to the accident. A black box is actually made up of multiple logging devices inside a truck. The Event Data Recorder (EDR) is the most important type of tracking software.
The EDR records every movement, acceleration, and deceleration inside a commercial truck in real time. EDRs record so much data that it is impossible for them to run 24/7. Instead, they are triggered by an event leading up to an accident, such as losing traction on the road or sudden braking.
This design allows the device to capture immediate information on all of the vehicle’s operations at the moment before impact.
Commercial truck black box data records how a truck is being driven and prevents drivers from falsifying logs to conceal negligent driving. This can be invaluable for accident victims.
When we review the data recorded by a commercial truck’s black box, we look for red flags that indicate negligent behavior:
Commercial truck black boxes can also help our New Jersey truck accident lawyers determine whether or not a trucker was fatigued or overworked.
By collecting data points on engine power, acceleration, and braking before the crash, our lawyers can tell how the driver reacted before the crash, which can help determine whether or not they were negligent.
For example, drivers who fall asleep at the wheel often don’t brake until it’s too late, or brakes are applied erratically before a crash. We can look for these red flags to determine fault in a truck accident.
Truck accidents can happen for a variety of reasons, but some causes are more common than others.
Here are some of the most common reasons we see at Stark & Stark:
If you were injured in a truck accident, give us a call today. Our New Jersey truck crash attorneys can determine if negligence on the part of the trucker was involved and help you prosecute your case to recover compensation for your injuries.
Truck accident victims suffer a range of different injuries, but some are more common than others.
The most common injuries include:
We understand that a major accident leads to significant financial strain due to medical bills and lost income. To ensure you can pursue the justice you deserve without added financial burden, our New Jersey truck accident lawyers operate on a contingency fee basis.
This means that you do not pay any upfront costs, and we only collect a fee if we successfully secure a settlement or verdict in your case.
If you or someone close to you has been injured in a commercial vehicle accident, contact one of our New Jersey truck accident lawyers as soon as possible. We can review the circumstances and determine the best course of action for protecting your rights and interests.
Once we have reviewed your case, we will provide an honest assessment of the path forward and work tirelessly to help you achieve the results you need.
