TRUCK ACCIDENTS
As a corridor state, New Jersey has more trucks on its highways
per square mile than virtually any other state in the country.
Because of their size and weight, these trucks present the potential
for serious injury or death, should an accident occur. In 2002,
nearly five thousand deaths (11 percent of all traffic fatalities)
occurring on U.S. highways involved large trucks. Not surprisingly,
85 percent of those deaths involved occupants of cars or pedestrians
struck by trucks. The victims who survive truck accidents frequently
face serious injuries, costly medical bills and the loss of significant
income.
Because special rules apply to large trucks using our highways,
it is important that victims of truck accidents consult with an
attorney who has the experience and resources necessary to effectively
handle such claims. The Personal Injury Group at Wilentz, Goldman & Spitzer can provide truck accident victims with the experience
and resources necessary to insure a favorable recovery.
Numerous elements must be considered to fully evaluate an accident
involving a truck and the appropriate recovery for the victims.
The condition and design of roadways, the actions of the drivers
involved, the condition of their vehicles, weather conditions,
actions of other vehicles, and a host of other factors may all
play a part in the ultimate decision.
If you are involved in such an accident, you will want to have
all of these circumstances put in their proper perspective by
attorneys who have a wealth of experience in dealing with them.
Wilentz, Goldman & Spitzer is just such a firm. We have successfully
represented scores of injured persons involved in accidents with
trucks, and we are willing to bring this extensive experience
to bear on your situation.
