Truck Accidents

Collisions involving large commercial trucks, semis, and tractor-trailers often result in catastrophic injuries and losses. We investigate trucking companies for violations of federal safety regulations, driver fatigue, improper maintenance, and other negligence to hold the company responsible. 

 

We’ll also review the details of your accident to determine if any other parties may have contributed to the crash, ensuring all responsible parties are held accountable. Other potentially liable parties may include companies responsible for loading the truck’s cargo, road maintenance companies, vehicle part manufacturers, and other entities whose negligence may have contributed to the accident.

What Compensation Can You Recover in a South Jersey Personal Injury Claim?

The goal of a personal injury claim is to secure financial compensation, known as “legal damages,” that helps pay for your losses after an accident. Our attorneys will fight for the full value of every loss you have suffered, which can be categorized under two major definitions:

• Economic Damages: These are your tangible, out-of-pocket financial losses, and may include:
  • All past and future medical expenses (hospital stays, surgery, therapy)
  • Lost wages and income
  • Diminished future earning capacity if you are unable to return to your job
  • Costs for prescriptions, medical equipment, and home modifications

• Non-Economic Damages: These compensate you for the profound, intangible ways the injury has affected your life, including:
  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress and mental anguish
  • Loss of enjoyment of life’s activities
  • Permanent scarring and disfigurement
  • Loss of consortium (impact on your relationship with your spouse)

Understanding New Jersey’s Personal Injury Laws

Navigating the legal system can be intimidating. Here are two of the most critical laws that will impact your case:

1. The Statute of Limitations: In New Jersey, you generally have two years from the date of the injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. If you miss this filing deadline, the courts will likely bar you from ever recovering compensation. It is crucial to contact an attorney well before this deadline expires to protect your right to hold others responsible for your losses and receive payment related to the accident.
2. Modified Comparative Negligence: Insurance companies often try to blame the injured victim for causing the accident, so the company doesn’t have to pay for the claim. Under New Jersey’s 51% bar rule, you can still recover damages even if you were partially at fault for the accident, as long as your share of the blame is not greater than the other party’s (50% or less). Your final compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault.

Frequently Asked Questions Our South Jersey Personal Injury Lawyers Answer 

How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer?

At Grungo Law, we work on a contingency fee basis, and there are no upfront costs. This means we only get paid if we successfully recover money for you through a settlement or verdict. If we don’t win your case, you owe us absolutely nothing.

Should I give a recorded statement to the negligent person’s insurance company?

We strongly advise against providing any statements, especially recorded interviews with any insurance companies, without first seeking legal advice. Remember, insurance companies are for-profit businesses, and their first priority is to their shareholders and maintaining their profit margins, not paying claims to injured people.

 

Insurance adjusters are trained to ask questions in a way that can get you to unintentionally hurt your own claim. Before speaking with any insurance representative, you should consult with one of our attorneys. We can explain how to protect your case in a free consultation, and if you decide to partner with us, we will handle all communications on your behalf. By avoiding the stress of dealing with insurers, you can focus on your recovery

How much is my personal injury case worth?

Although this is a very common question, since every case is unique, there is no simple answer or formula. The value of your claim depends on many factors, including the severity of your injuries, the total amount of your medical bills and lost wages, the long-term impact on your life, and the amount of available insurance coverage. 

 

Once we understand the details of your situation during a free consultation, and based on our extensive experience,  we can provide a clearer assessment of your claim and its possible value.

Will I have to testify in court?

The vast majority of personal injury cases—over 95%—are settled out of court through negotiations. However, we prepare every case as if it will go to trial to show that we are ready to fight in court if necessary. This position of strength often leads to better settlement offers because the insurance company knows we are ready and willing to fight for you in a public forum to secure the compensation you deserve.
