Monmouth County Truck Accident Lawyer
Commercial trucks’ size and weight can significantly increase truck accidents and commercial vehicle collision outcomes.
Truck accidents are some of the most serious crashes on the road. Because of their size and weight, trucks can cause catastrophic injuries and major damage in a collision. At Chamlin, Uliano & Walsh, we help injured people and their families after crashes involving commercial trucks, 18-wheelers, or tractor-trailers.
If you or a loved one was hurt, a Monmouth County truck accident lawyer from our team can help you understand your legal rights. We offer legal representation for truck accident victims in New Jersey, including Red Bank and the surrounding areas.
Many of these crashes happen because of truck driver negligence, reckless driving, environmental factors, or even problems with the trucking company’s maintenance. In some cases, multiple parties may be to blame—including the truck driver, the trucking company, or even the manufacturer.
We work hard to level the playing field and fight for fair compensation. That includes money for medical bills, pain and suffering, and lost income. Truck accident cases are different from regular car accidents because they often involve more severe injuries and more complex laws.
Our attorneys know how to collect the right evidence from the accident scene, go through medical records, and look at data rates and driver logs to help determine who was at fault. Whether it was one person’s negligence or a mix of problems, we fight to hold the right people accountable.
What Causes Truck Accidents?
Truck accidents can happen for many reasons. Some are caused by driver mistakes, while others involve poor maintenance or company negligence. Common causes include:
- Speeding or driving too fast for traffic or weather conditions
- Driver fatigue or falling asleep at the wheel
- Failing to check blind spots before changing lanes
- Improper loading or overloaded cargo
- Poor maintenance or defective truck parts
- Driving under the influence
- Distracted driving (texting, eating, etc.)
- Breaking federal or state trucking rules
In some cases, more than one party may be responsible. That can include the driver, the trucking company, a maintenance provider, or even a parts manufacturer.
How the Truck Accident Claims Process Works
Truck accident cases are often more complex than regular car accident claims. We work to collect strong evidence early. That includes:
- Police and accident reports
- Photos of the scene and vehicle damage
- Witness statements
- Truck driver logs and company records
- Truck maintenance records
- Black box or tracking data from the truck
We also work with experts when needed to show how the crash happened and who was at fault. Insurance companies may try to blame the injured person or offer a low settlement. We deal with them directly, so you don’t have to.
What Damages Can Be Recovered?
Truck accidents often cause life-changing injuries or even death. Victims may need surgery, physical therapy, or long-term care. Our law firm helps clients pursue compensation for:
- Medical bills
- Future medical care
- Lost wages and future income
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional trauma
- Property damage
- Funeral and burial costs (in wrongful death cases)
Every case is different, so we take the time to understand your needs and how the crash has affected your life.
