STATEWIDE ACCIDENT DATA
New Jersey witnesses over 5,000 truck accidents annually, contributing to approximately 1,200 injuries and over 100 fatalities each year.

NJ STATE LAW & DEADLINES
In New Jersey, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is two years from the date of the accident, which is crucial for truck accident victims to remember. New Jersey follows a modified comparative fault rule, meaning if you are found 50% or more at fault, you cannot recover damages. Additionally, New Jersey has its own trucking regulations beyond FMCSA standards, aimed at enhancing safety and liability. This includes specific state laws pertaining to driver qualifications and vehicular inspections, all of which can influence the value of your claim significantly.
HIGH-RISK CORRIDORS
Key highways such as I-95, I-80, and the New Jersey Turnpike see a high frequency of commercial truck accidents. Notorious areas like the Secaucus Junction and the interchange at I-295 and the Turnpike are particularly prone to accidents, creating hazardous conditions for all drivers. These highways are vital for transportation, making it essential to be aware of potential risks while navigating them.
