Trucking and bus accidents are among the most catastrophic types of vehicle collisions on New Jersey’s roads. Due to the size and weight of these commercial vehicles, the consequences are often severe—resulting in life-altering injuries or even fatalities. If you or someone you love has been injured in such an accident, securing experienced legal representation isn’t just helpful—it’s essential.
What Makes Truck and Bus Accidents Unique?
Trucking and bus accidents differ significantly from typical car accidents. They often involve:
- Multiple parties: Drivers, trucking companies, maintenance crews, manufacturers, or even government entities may be liable.
- Complex regulations: Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) laws govern commercial vehicles. Violations can help establish negligence.
- Higher insurance limits: Commercial vehicles carry large insurance policies, which means more is at stake—and insurers will fight harder to avoid large payouts.
- Severe injuries: Victims often suffer traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, burns, or multiple fractures.
Because of these complications, truck and bus accident claims require legal teams skilled in handling high-stakes litigation and capable of standing up to powerful insurance companies.
Common Causes of Commercial Vehicle Accidents
While every accident is different, common causes include:
- Driver fatigue or distraction
- Speeding or aggressive driving
- Improperly loaded or overloaded cargo
- Poor vehicle maintenance
- Driver intoxication or impairment
- Failure to follow traffic laws or federal safety regulations
Identifying the root cause is critical to determining who is at fault and who should be held financially responsible for your injuries.
