Truck Accident Lawyers in New Jersey
Protecting Victims of Catastrophic Commercial Vehicle Collisions
Due to their massive size and weight, tractor-trailers and other commercial trucks pose serious dangers to other road users. A fully loaded truck can weigh over 80,000 pounds, and when these vehicles collide with smaller cars, motorcycles, or pedestrians, the consequences are often devastating.
At Zirrith Law, we help victims of truck accidents across New Jersey seek justice and compensation. Leading New Jersey accident attorney Bryan Mintz and his team investigate aggressively, builds strong cases, and holds negligent drivers, trucking companies, and insurers accountable.
🚛 The Rising Threat of Truck Accidents in NJ
- In 2020, New Jersey recorded 54 fatal crashes involving large trucks—up sharply from 32 in 2018.
- Most fatal truck crashes involve other vehicles, especially passenger cars.
- Snowy road conditions, though infrequent, were involved in a disproportionately high number of fatal truck collisions between 2017 and 2021.

These data points highlight the urgent need for experienced legal advocacy when truck accidents occur.
Leading Causes of Truck Accidents
Our investigations often uncover preventable causes of truck collisions, such as:
- Brake failure or mechanical malfunctions
- Driver fatigue or sleep deprivation
- Speeding or aggressive driving
- Distracted driving (e.g., texting)
- Inexperienced or improperly trained drivers
- Unreasonable delivery schedules or employer pressure
- Failure to follow federal hours-of-service rules
Even with strict federal regulations from the FMCSA, corners are often cut—putting lives at risk. We work to uncover those violations and use them to strengthen your case.
If You’ve Been Involved in a Truck Accident
Acting quickly can preserve your rights and improve your chances of recovering full compensation:
- Call 911 – Make sure injuries are treated and the accident is officially reported.
- Get medical attention – Some injuries may not show symptoms right away.
- Document the scene – Take photos of vehicles, skid marks, debris, and conditions.
- Gather witness info – Their statements can help establish liability.
- Avoid speaking with insurance adjusters – They may downplay or shift blame.
- Contact a knowledgeable truck accident attorney – We’ll handle the rest.
