Truck accidents happen for several different reasons, however, most are caused by driver negligence. Additionally, inclement weather and equipment failure contribute to traffic collisions involving trucks. Specifically, driver negligence/error contributes to most truck collisions in New Jersey. Driver distraction, fatigue, and speeding are the leading types of negligence that lead to truck accidents in New Jersey and across the US.
Commercial truck collisions are often more severe than other types of crashes due to the massive size/weight difference between these large vehicles and passenger vehicles. Individuals who are in passenger vehicles involved in traffic accidents with commercial vehicles often suffer severe injuries or even lose their lives. It is important for drivers of all vehicles to remain alert, awake, aware, and sober while operating their vehicles in order to preserve the safety of everyone on the road.
