New Jersey Lawyer:
Tractor Trailer Accidents
If a member of your family was injured in a tractor-trailer accident, it is extremely important that your attorney perform a thorough investigation of the circumstances leading to the crash.
Brake failure, tire blowouts, overloading
If the accident involved brake failure or a tire blowout it may have been the result of a product defect or of illegal overloading. Our lawyers acquire the DOT safety inspection records, records of the company that loaded the product, records of driver pre-trip safety checks, and the highway department's accident reports. Our firm also has the resources to hire top accident reconstructionists and scientific experts to examine brakes, tires, steering mechanisms, and evidence available at the scene of the tractor-trailer accident.
Evidence — the key to a tractor-trailer accident case
When a New Jersey Highway Patrol officer arrives at the scene of a commercial truck accident involving a traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, amputation, serious burn injury, or fatality, the officer calls Logan's Garage and Towing to impound the vehicles. Our lawyers will send experts to examine the car, the tractor, and the trailer for evidence of the cause of the accident.
Overloading can result in brake failure and cause a rear-end collision. An unbalanced load may cause a jackknife or rollover accident. A tire blowout resulting from failure to perform a safety inspection may cause a truck to swerve and force a car off the road. Our lawyers will look for the clues that tell the whole story.
As a victim or a surviving relative, you may have a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit against the trucking company, the truck driver, the manufacturer of the brakes or tires, or the maintenance company responsible for ensuring the safe truck's operational safety.
