How Commercial Drivers and Companies Can Be Held Liable for Commercial Vehicle Accidents
There are many examples of negligent or reckless actions or omissions that can trigger a commercial vehicle accident, including:
- Speeding
- Reckless driving, such as weaving in and out of traffic
- Unsafe lane changes
- Unsafe turns
- Tailgating
- Distracted driving, including texting-while-driving
- Drowsy or fatigued driving
- Driving under the influence of alcohol/drugs
- Inexperienced commercial vehicle drivers
- Unfamiliarity with routes
- Unsecured or unsafe vehicle loads
- Deferred or negligently performed vehicle maintenance
- Design or manufacturing defects in the vehicle or vehicle parts
When commercial vehicle drivers and companies commit any of these acts, they can be held responsible when an accident results.
In addition, many commercial vehicles are regulated under rules issued by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. These rules are intended to ensure that large and potentially dangerous commercial vehicles are safely operated on public roads. The regulations include size and weight limit for vehicles and hours-of-service restrictions on a driver’s duty shifts and time behind the wheel. When commercial vehicle drivers and companies fail to follow these regulations, they can be held legally responsible for injuries and losses that result from an accident. The complexity of state and federal regulation of commercial vehicles highlights why it is important to hire an experienced attorney who can help you explore all your options for compensation.

Frequently Asked Questions about Commercial Vehicle Accidents in New Jersey
Examples of commercial vehicles may include limousines, taxis, delivery vehicles, larger passenger vans, plows, and heavy work trucks. These vehicles are usually operated by companies who employ or contract with drivers to drive the vehicles.
Yes. In a commercial vehicle accident, there may be parties other than the vehicle’s driver who can be held at fault for the crash. For example, the company that operates the commercial vehicle may be subjected to employer liability if it employs the negligent driver who causes a crash; the company might also be held responsible for its own direct negligence in hiring, training, retaining, and supervising a negligent driver, or in negligently deferring required maintenance on the vehicle if that causes or contributes to an accident. The vehicle’s mechanic can also be held responsible for negligent maintenance that leads to an accident. Finally, the vehicle’s manufacturer (or a part manufacturer) is liable for defects in the vehicle that cause an accident.
