New Jersey Truck Accident Lawyers

Serving Camden, Burlington, Gloucester, Atlantic, Cumberland & Salem Counties

Truck accidents are some of the most serious crashes on New Jersey roads. Because of their size and weight, tractor-trailers and commercial vehicles can cause catastrophic injuries and fatalities when they collide with cars, motorcycles, or pedestrians. These cases are also more complex than typical car accidents — involving federal trucking regulations, multiple parties, and aggressive insurance companies.

At Lackey & Miller, LLC, our attorneys bring over 20 years of combined experience as trial attorneys to truck accident litigation. We know how to investigate these complicated cases, hold negligent trucking companies accountable, and fight for the maximum compensation our clients deserve. As longtime South Jersey residents, we’re familiar with the local highways where truck crashes frequently occur, including I-295, the New Jersey Turnpike, Route 130, and the Atlantic City Expressway.

Common Causes of Truck Accidents in New Jersey

Truck accidents can happen for many reasons, often involving driver negligence or company violations. Common causes include:

• Driver fatigue or hours-of-service violations
• Distracted driving (phones, GPS, paperwork)
• Speeding or reckless driving
• Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
• Improperly loaded or overloaded cargo
• Poor vehicle maintenance or defective equipment
• Unsafe lane changes or wide turns

Our firm investigates not only the driver’s actions but also whether the trucking company failed to follow safety regulations or pushed drivers to break the law to meet delivery deadlines.

Serious Injuries Caused by Truck Accidents

Because of the sheer size of trucks, these accidents often result in devastating injuries, including:

• Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
• Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
• Severe fractures and crush injuries
• Internal bleeding and organ damage
• Amputations
• Burns and disfigurement
• Wrongful death

These injuries can change lives forever. Our attorneys work with medical experts to fully understand your long-term care needs and ensure that your claim reflects the true cost of your recovery.

Compensation in Truck Accident Cases

If you’ve been injured in a truck accident, you may be entitled to compensation for:

• Medical bills and future treatment costs
• Lost income and loss of earning potential
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress
• Property damage
• Wrongful death damages for families who lost loved ones

Unlike ordinary car accident cases, truck accidents often involve multiple defendants — including the driver, the trucking company, maintenance providers, and insurance carriers. We pursue every responsible party to maximize your recovery.
