How We Prove Trucking Cases
We move quickly to secure critical proof and show how safety violations caused the crash. That includes preserving the truck’s electronic records and essential scene evidence, documenting your injuries and losses, and identifying every liable party, from the driver and carrier to owners, loaders, maintenance shops, or a municipality if road conditions played a role. We track all insurance layers and deadlines in New York and New Jersey, including short notice rules for public entities, so your claim is protected and positioned for maximum recovery.
Compensation we pursue
Medical bills and future care, lost wages and reduced earning capacity, pain and suffering, scarring, household services, and when appropriate, wrongful death damages. We build the medical and economic proof to match the full scope of loss.

Delivery Truck and Box Truck Crashes in NYC
Local routes mean constant stops, double-parking, and tight turns. We secure nearby store cameras, building footage, and delivery app logs to show unsafe habits, rushed schedules, and blocked sightlines.
Jackknife and Rollover Accidents
Speed, sudden braking, and improper loading cause instability. Evidence such as ECM data, brake inspections, and cargo records reveal the chain of errors that led to loss of control and high-energy impacts.
Garbage Trucks and Municipal Fleets
Early-morning routes, dark conditions, and frequent backing create risk. Notice rules can be short, often 90 days. We file on time, collect route sheets and telematics, and hold the right public and private entities accountable.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What should I do after a truck crash?
Call 911, get medical care, photograph plates, DOT numbers, and damage, gather witness names, and contact us before giving an insurer statement.
Who can be held responsible besides the driver?
The motor carrier, the vehicle owner, a broker or shipper, a maintenance shop, or a loading contractor, depending on how safety rules were broken.
What if the driver blames me for speeding or lane position?
NY and NJ use comparative negligence. You can still recover; your award may be reduced by your share of fault.
What if the trucking company is from another state?
You can still bring claims here when the crash or harm occurred in NY or NJ. We track down registered agents and all applicable policies.
How long do I have to sue?
Generally 3 years in NY and 2 years in NJ. If a public entity is involved, a notice can be due in as little as 90 days.
