New Jersey Truck Accident Investigation Lawyers

Committed to a Thorough Investigation of the Causes of Your Accident

If you have been hurt in an accident involving a commercial truck, such as an 18-wheeler, semi, tractor-trailer or big rig, chances are good that your injuries are serious. The causes of a truck accident, however, can often be difficult to determine. Was the trucker carrying an excessive load? Had routine or essential maintenance been neglected? Was the driver overly fatigued because of a failure to take required breaks? Was the truck poorly designed or constructed?
When you have been the victim of a truck accident injury stemming from someone else’s negligence, you want an attorney with a thorough knowledge of the causes of truck accidents and who knows how to identify all potentially responsible parties. You want Harold J. Gerr, Attorney at Law.

The Importance of a Comprehensive Investigation of Your Truck Accident Injury Claim

The causes of a truck accident can be many:

• The owner of the truck may have failed to maintain the truck. Failure to perform routine maintenance on brakes, steering mechanisms, tires and other mechanical components is a leading cause of truck accidents.
• The operator may have violated safety regulations. Over-the-road truckers are supposed to take scheduled breaks and may not be behind the wheel more than a certain number of hours in a 24-hour period.
• The trucker may have been carrying too much cargo or cargo may not have been properly secured. These actions can cause a driver to lose control of the vehicle.
• The truck or some of its components may have been poorly designed or manufactured.

A thorough investigation and reconstruction of your accident will not only be effective in establishing the cause of the crash, but can also help identify other potentially responsible parties, such as manufacturers or distributors of dangerous or defective parts. We work with leading experts on truck accidents.
