Why truck accident cases are complex in NJ

Legal experience is critically important in cases where a commercial truck or tractor-trailer is involved in an accident where someone is injured. There are special regulations, both state and federal, that apply to commercial trucks and tractor trailer drivers. Evidence that a driver breached any of these regulations can often be used as evidence of a trucker’s negligence. That is why our New Jersey truck accident attorneys commit considerable resources towards staying up to date on all applicable regulations. We get results for you by tying the regulations to the driver’s actions and your consequential injuries.
