Commercial vehicles are obviously heavier than cars. Because of this, accidents involving delivery vehicles, construction trucks, vans, and similar vehicles usually cause more damage than your typical car accident. Our New Jersey commercial vehicle accident lawyers at The Epstein Law Firm, P.A., know how to win complex commercial vehicle accident cases. We have access to respected experts that can make or break a claim, including safety analysts who specialize in commercial vehicles, design experts, and accident reconstruction experts. Logically, the stakes are much higher after a commercial vehicle accident for two key reasons:
In many car accident cases, blameless drivers may be unable to pursue compensation from an at-fault driver unless their injuries are relatively serious because New Jersey insurance policies may impose a verbal threshold or limitation on lawsuit that makes it more difficult to recover compensation. Commercial policies are treated differently because the limitation or threshold does not apply.
Every commercial vehicle accident case is different. Our hard-working lawyers know what it takes to hold the at-fault party accountable to get you the compensation you need. To learn more about your right to compensation, tell us what happened to you. Your consultation is free and there is no obligation. Call or contact us today to speak with us.
Many commercial vehicle accident causes are similar to the culprits responsible for typical car crashes. These causes include:
Commercial vehicles are, however, unique in that they are on the road for long periods of time and, as heavier vehicles, take much longer to stop. When a smaller vehicle darts in front of a commercial vehicle without warning, the driver may be unable to stop even exercising due care.

Yes. Regardless of whether you were at fault, you will be entitled to workers’ compensation benefits if you were on the job when the accident happened. Workers’ compensation covers your medical bills and a portion of your lost wages. While you usually cannot sue your employer, you might be able to sue another party, such as:
– A company that manufactured a defective component in the commercial vehicle – The at-fault driver responsible for your accident – A company your employer hired to inspect and maintain the vehicle
Commercial vehicle accident cases are often handled differently, so that typical New Jersey insurance laws do not always apply. You may be entitled to compensation for:
– All past and future medical bills – Past and future lost wages and employment benefits – Pain and suffering – Permanent disability – Disfigurement – Emotional trauma – Damages for wrongful death, such as funeral expenses and loss of your loved one’s company
