New Jersey Truck Accident Lawyer

Perhaps nowhere in the United States are the major highways more inundated with big rig traffic than in New Jersey. With its long coast, shipping ports, and interlocking system of highways including Route 295, the New Jersey Turnpike and the Garden State Parkway serving businesses and consumers in the northeast, New Jersey highways are cluttered with truck traffic. Large truck traffic is diverse, ranging from 18-wheelers, package delivery trucks, and local businesses like plumbers executing their day-to-day business. Fuel oil and gasoline tankers operate everywhere in the state and add to the congestion. As diverse as New Jersey truck traffic is, one thing they all have in common is their propensity for causing catastrophic injury and death to the motor vehicle operators and passengers unlucky enough to be involved with a truck in a traffic accident.  If you are involved in an accident with a truck, you need the experience of truck accident lawyer Steven Garber and Garber Law Offices.

The potential for catastrophic injuries is very high because of the sheer size and weight, up to 80,000 lbs., of a fully loaded tractor trailer. A big rig that jackknifes and hops the median can take out ten or twenty other vehicles coming in the opposite direction. An 18-wheeler making a right-hand turn can crush an automobile attempting to pass on its right side if the truck driver does not see them.
