New York & New Jersey Truck Accident Lawyers
The drivers and owners of large trucks have a unique responsibility to those with whom they share the road. When accidents occur between large trucks and cars, motorcycles and light trucks, truckers have a significant safety advantage. Large trucks' size often means the other driver suffers a disproportionate level of injury.
Legal complications can also be disproportionate when large trucks are involved. Questions of liability can quickly become complex - who is liable: the driver, the owner of the truck, the manufacturer, a third vehicle or a third-party truck maintenance firm? Jurisdiction issues also often apply.
