New Jersey Truck Accident Due to Company Negligence Lawyer
Personal Injury Lawyers Advocate for the Rights and Interests of Injured Victims of Truck Accidents Caused by Trucking Company Negligence in New Jersey
The trucking industry serves as the lifeblood of our state’s and our country’s economy, moving goods and materials where they need to go, including to our store shelves and our homes. Due to extensive regulations and the responsibility of trucking operators, most trucks safely get their cargo to its destination. However, with millions of trucks on American roads, trucking accidents are virtually inevitable. Sadly, when truck accidents do occur, they tend to result in catastrophic injuries and losses for other motorists, passengers, or pedestrians involved in an accident. That’s why a New Jersey truck accident due to company negligence lawyer fights for fair compensation for injured victims across New Jersey.
While many truck accidents are attributable to a truck driver’s negligence, in many cases the trucking company responsible for the transportation of the cargo can cause or contribute to an accident through its own negligent and reckless action.

How Trucking Companies Can Cause or Contribute to Truck Accidents
Although truck accidents are commonly thought to be caused by truck driver negligence, trucking companies can also cause or contribute to truck accidents through their own negligence or recklessness. Ways that trucking company negligence can result in accident include:
- Hiring truck drivers with records of safety and traffic violations or a history of causing truck accidents
- Failing to properly instruct drivers on safe operation of the trucking company’s vehicles
- Instructing or encouraging drivers to speed or commit other traffic offenses to ensure timely delivery of cargo
- Instructing or encouraging drivers to disregard hours of service limitations
- Failing to ensure vehicles are properly maintained, or consciously disregarding or deferring necessary or recommended maintenance
Regulations issued by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration and the state of New Jersey are intended to ensure that commercial trucks safely operate on public roads. When trucking companies fail to follow these laws and regulations or consciously disregard them, they create the perfect conditions for a devastating truck accident.

Frequently Asked Questions about Truck Accidents Due to Trucking Company Negligence
A trucking company can be subjected to employer liability, also known as vicarious liability, for a truck driver’s negligence when the driver is classified as an employee of the trucking company. Many truck drivers work as independent contractors as they own their own truck and accept hauling jobs on a per-route basis from the trucking company. If a truck driver is properly classified as an independent contractor, the trucking company cannot be held responsible for the driver’s negligence. However, the trucking company might still be held accountable for negligent retaining or supervising a truck driver it had hired, especially if the trucking company knew or should have known the driver posed a risk of an accident.
You should never accept a settlement of your truck accident claim without first speaking with an experienced truck accident attorney. Many trucking companies and their insurers try to minimize the money they pay to accident victims by claiming that a settlement offer represents the company’s best offer or the full extent of insurance coverage. However, a first settlement offer rarely represents a best-and-final offer. In addition, many trucking companies have layered insurance coverages, meaning there might be additional coverage available to compensate you. Our attorneys can review the facts and circumstances of your case to determine whether you’ve been offered fair and full compensation.
