New Jersey Commercial Vehicle Accident Attorneys

After an accident with a commercial vehicle in New Jersey, Pennsylvania or Delaware, you may care less about the details of the vehicle that caused your injury and more about how the injury you suffered may impact your life going forward. In the end, what matters is holding negligent parties accountable for the damage they have caused.

But in the meantime, the type of vehicle that hit you – whether it was another car, a semi or a commercial vehicle – matters greatly when it comes to how to create a strategy for your case. At Flynn Law, our personal injury attorneys dedicate the time to research and collect the evidence necessary for a strong case after a commercial vehicle crash.

We offer free case consultations, five locations in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, and 24/7 availability. Call our toll-free number at 855-244-8972 to get started.

Commercial Vehicles That Can Cause Serious Injuries In A Crash

The highways and surface streets of southern New Jersey and elsewhere in the Mid-Atlantic region are filled with a large number of different types of commercial vehicles, most of which are larger and more complex than the average car. They include:

• Service or repair vehicles, such as plumbing, electrical repair, or HVAC vans
• Construction and other types of heavy equipment, such as cranes, bulldozers or tractors
• Delivery vans, including catering or courier vehicles
• Passenger shuttles for hotels, airports or special transport services, which often use step-vans and mini-buses
• Emergency vehicles, including ambulances, fire trucks or police cruisers
• Agricultural or farm machinery, including tractors or harvester equipment that’s on a public road

Each type of vehicle can have a different set of regulations governing driver training, maintenance and other factors critical to determining fault. Our legal team does not approach them in a cookie-cutter fashion, lumping them in with larger trucks, because a successful injury claim hinges on pinpointing corporate vehicle liability and placing accountability in the proper place.

Complexities Of Commercial Vehicle Accidents

A critical distinction in your commercial vehicle case rests on whether the vehicle that hit you meets the federal definition of a Commercial Motor Vehicle (CMV), as defined by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). Among other requirements, a vehicle may be classified as a CMV if it:

• Has a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of 10,001 pounds or more
• Is designed or used to carry more than eight passengers with a driver who is receiving pay, or more than 15 passengers, if the driver is not being paid
• Carries hazardous materials that require federal placarding

Commercial vehicles that do not meet federal CMV requirements are subject to state and local rules related to size, use and driver safety.

Commercial vehicle accidents often include a confusing web of failures, including factors such as driver fatigue, company driving and maintenance policies, poor repair or vehicle review practices, and the involvement of third-party cargo loaders. Unlike collisions between private motorists, commercial vehicle owners and their insurers have large, well-funded attorney teams at their disposal to fight your claim. Our attorneys are relentless in uncovering the evidence that demonstrates whose negligence contributed to your accident and advocating for your New Jersey commercial insurance claim.
