Just picturing a collision between a tractor-trailer and a passenger vehicle is an unwelcome sight. Actually being in one is a shocking experience. A fully loaded tractor-trailer puts this behemoth at over 80,000 pounds. The damage these 18-wheelers can do to a 4-wheel vehicle is overwhelming. Sadly the result is often severe permanent injury and even death for the driver and passengers of the car. At the Law Offices of John F. Marshall, our seasoned New Jersey Tractor-Trailer Accident Lawyers are all too familiar with the aftermath of these serious collisions. We work tirelessly to help the victims of these crashes recover monetary damages to get the medical help they need and assist them with the financial burden that ensues.
About Tractor Trailer Accidents
There are many factors that lead to a tractor-trailer accident. You are likely familiar with the heavy burden placed upon the drivers of these 18-wheelers. They drive non-stop for many hours and often days without sleep. Driver fatigue has been cited as being as dangerous as driving under the influence. Attention and reaction time is severely hampered. When handling a loaded rig, the driver needs even more time to stop when faced with an impending collision. These giants of the road can cause long-term damage, such as traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage and serious internal injury.
Tractor Trailer Accidents in New Jersey
In 2007, New Jersey experienced 45 tractor-trailer related fatalities. The numbers went down slightly in the following years. However, this trend is not expected to continue as an increasing number of smaller, more fuel-efficient passenger vehicles hit the road. These vehicles are even more easily over-looked by big rig drivers, adding to the hazards of sharing the road with these large trucks. With the state’s congested roadways and dense traffic, these types of accidents are inevitable.
