When car parts that are designed to protect us do not function properly, it can result in severe injuries. Car manufacturers have a duty to provide their consumers with safe parts and devices. Sadly, many automotive products are responsible for many deadly car accidents.

Liability and Trucking Accidents
Who is to blame in a truck accident? This is a point of contention between defense counselors, insurance companies, and the injury victim’s attorneys. There are many factors to assess following a truck accident when determining who is liable for the crash. It is very important to conduct a full analysis into the truck driver’s safety record, as well as question whether or not the truck involved in the accident received regular maintenance. We can determine whether or not the vehicle had worn out brakes or improperly-maintained auto parts. In certain cases, the truck driver may not have had the appropriate amount of sleep required under Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations laws, commonly known as FMCSR. Some of the most common causes of truck accidents include:
- Abrupt lane changes
- Merging improperly into oncoming traffic
- Driving between large trucks
- Improper judgment of a truck’s speed
- Making an abrupt left turn in front of a truck
- Failing to adjust speed when a truck is merging or changing lanes
- Unsafely passing another truck or vehicle
- Driving in a “No-Zone,” the area of a truck where the driver has limited visibility
- Driver fatigue
- A poorly maintained truck
- Inadequate training
All commercial truck drivers and the companies who employ them are bound to adhere to the law, including Federal and State regulations. Our New Jersey injury attorneys are committed to doing our best to properly evaluate every facet of your case to determine fault. For certain cases, we will hire accident reconstructionists and trucking experts to establish liability. Many truck accident cases will require litigation to prove your case and it is vitally important to have a highly skilled New Jersey truck accident attorney on your side.
