New York Traffic Accidents

Traffic accidents are unfortunately common in New Jersey, leading to numerous injuries and fatalities each year. Tens of thousands of accidents are reported annually in the Garden State, resulting in thousands of deaths. Nationwide, traffic collisions claim approximately 40,000 lives per year. Many of these tragic incidents are preventable and occur due to negligent driving behaviors such as intoxication, distraction, fatigue, and speeding.

Commercial truck accidents are often much more severe than other types of traffic collisions due to the sheer size and weight of these massive vehicles. The results can be especially catastrophic when a large commercial truck and a smaller passenger vehicle collide. 

If you know that the actions of another individual ultimately led to your injuries, working with an attorney as soon as you can is a wise choice.

We will aggressively negotiate a full and fair settlement from the insurance company for you so you do not have to worry about money at a time like this.
