Accidents involving commercial trucks (tractor-trailers; 18 wheelers; semi-trucks) have historically been caused by negligent operation, overloaded trucks, unsecured loads, improper maintenance, driver fatigue, failure to properly train drivers, and drunk driving. Most notably, demanding schedules by commercial trucking companies has led to truck drivers traveling long distances on insufficient sleep. A recent example of a catastrophic tractor-trailer accident is that which involved comedian Tracy Morgan in New Jersey. The driver of the tractor-trailer owned by Walmart that hit Tracy’s Morgan’s tour bus, which seriously injured Morgan and killed a passenger, is alleged to have driven over twenty-four hours straight without sleeping.
Victims of tractor-trailer accidents in New Jersey are entitled to receive compensation for the pain and suffering that they experience as a result of the accident. Pain and suffering may include injuries such as lost limbs, broken bones, disfigurement, scarring, and traumatic brain injuries. In addition to pain and suffering, victims are entitled to receive compensation for lost wages and medical expenses. In order to receive compensation for these injuries, it is important that you understand that key evidence which would be used to prove your case can be lost or destroyed if it is not secured quickly after the accident.
