Monmouth County Truck Accident Attorneys
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 devastating injuries and damage in a collision. At Chamlin, Uliano & Walsh, we help people in Monmouth County who’ve been hurt in truck accidents. If you or a loved one was involved in a crash with a commercial truck, tractor-trailer, or 18-wheeler, we’re here to help you understand your legal options and fight for the money you need to recover.
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.
