Aggressive Representation Following Truck Accidents
When a semitrailer or other commercial vehicle is involved in an accident, representatives of the company involved often are on site as quickly as the emergency responders. The size and weight of commercial vehicles frequently cause serious injuries when accidents occur.
Personal injury claims resulting from truck accidents in New Jersey are aggressively defended. Many companies have legal counsel in-house or on retainer that is skilled at minimizing their driver’s role in an accident, in order to limit the amount they pay in damages. It is critical to work with a personal injury law firm like the Law Office of Jack L. Stillman, P.A., which has experience standing up to the assertive strategies that are common in personal injury claims involving tractor trailers and other commercial vehicles.
With offices in Manalapan, we represent personal injury victims throughout Monmouth and Middlesex counties.
We Understand Trucking Laws And Insurance Company Tactics
The trucking industry is a high-pressure environment. Drivers are encouraged to deliver their shipments as quickly as possible, even if it means driving extra hours and exceeding posted speed limits. Many truck accidents result from drivers who fail to obey federal and state laws that regulate commercial trucking in an attempt to make highways safer. Examples include:
Speeding
Overweight trucks or unbalanced loads
Faulty truck maintenance
Drivers who have exceeded the amount of time they can drive without a break
Drunk or drugged driving
Distracted driving
