Protecting the Seriously Injured Across New Jersey — Free Consultations, Call (201) 470-4181

Commercial vehicles—such as delivery vans, construction trucks, and semi-trailers—are far heavier than standard passenger vehicles. When an accident involves one of these vehicles, the damage is often devastating. At Pagliara Law Group, our New Jersey commercial vehicle accident attorneys understand the high-stakes nature of these cases and are equipped to win them.

We work with top-tier experts in vehicle safety, trucking regulations, and accident reconstruction to prove liability and secure the compensation you deserve. Because these cases often involve corporate defendants and large insurance policies, the process can be complex—but we know how to fight and win.

Whether you were hit by a FedEx truck, injured in a crash with a construction vehicle, or hurt while driving for work, our law firm is ready to advocate for you. We are available 24/7 to help. Call (201) 470-4181 today for a free consultation.

Why Commercial Vehicle Accident Claims Are More Complex

Two major factors make these cases more serious than typical car crashes:

1. Injuries are often more severe, leading to significant medical bills, time off work, and long-term rehabilitation.
2. Commercial insurance policies usually carry much higher limits, allowing for greater compensation—but also inviting aggressive defense tactics from the insurer.

New Jersey’s “verbal threshold” (limitation on lawsuit) often blocks recovery unless injuries are severe—but this restriction typically doesn’t apply to commercial vehicle crashes, making it easier to bring a claim even for moderate injuries.

Common Causes of Commercial Vehicle Accidents

Commercial drivers are often under pressure to meet tight deadlines and drive long hours. Some common causes we see include:

• Driver fatigue and overwork
• Texting or distracted driving
• Drunk or drug-impaired driving
• Speeding and reckless driving
• Running red lights or ignoring stop signs
• Poor maintenance or brake failure
• Improper training or hiring by the company

Who Can Be Held Liable in a Commercial Vehicle Accident?

Unlike regular car accidents, commercial vehicle cases often involve multiple liable parties:

• The driver
• The trucking company or employer
• A third-party maintenance provider
• The company that loaded the vehicle
• The vehicle manufacturer (if defective)

At Pagliara Law Group, we dig deep into employment policies, maintenance records, driver logs, and black box data to hold all responsible parties accountable.

Don’t Wait. You Have Two Years to File a Lawsuit.

New Jersey law gives accident victims only two years to file a lawsuit. That clock starts the day of the crash. In many cases, preserving evidence—such as dash cam footage or GPS data—is critical. The sooner we begin investigating, the better your chances of recovering full compensation.
