Englewood Cargo Truck Accident Lawyers

If you were harmed as the result of a cargo truck accident in Englewood, New Jersey, you might have a right to financial recovery. An Englewood cargo truck accident lawyer from Morelli Law Firm might be able to help you pursue compensation from the responsible party in an insurance claim or lawsuit.

Morelli Law Firm can assist you with figuring out who may be liable for your accident and what your potentially recoverable damages may be. To learn more about your rights in a free case review with a member of our team, call Morelli Law Firm today at (212) 751-9800.

Causes of Cargo Truck Accidents

An accident can occur if a negligent cargo truck driver violates traffic law. This can include actions such as:

  • Speeding
  • Running a red light
  • An illegal turn or lane change
  • Failure to yield
  • Texting while driving
  • Drunk or intoxicated driving

Other times, a malfunction in the trucks’ cargo-carrying system may cause a cargo truck accident. These types of accidents may involve:

  • Falling cargo:  if cargo falls off the truck, it can strike another vehicle or create a huge road hazard.
  • Unsecured cargo:  if the cargo in the truck falls over or is loose, it can make the truck unstable and more prone to tipping over. The driver may also become startled if they can tell that cargo is rolling around in the truck.
  • Overhanging cargo:  if cargo is hanging off the end or sides of a truck, it can be difficult for the driver to avoid hitting other motorists while making turns or merging.

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) publishes rules for securing cargo on commercial motor vehicles. If a cargo truck driver or company violates these rules and causes an accident, they may be liable for the resultant damages.

Cargo Truck Accident Liability

Depending on the cause of your accident, the responsible party may be:

  • A cargo truck driver
  • The company that owns and operates the cargo truck
  • A mechanic
  • A third-party cargo loading company

An Englewood cargo truck accident lawyer from Morelli Law Firm can help you identify the responsible party and build your case against them. This may involve collecting evidence of the following elements of liability:

  • Duty:  the defendants owed you a duty of care, e.g., to obey traffic laws or properly secure their cargo.
  • Breach:  the defendants did not meet this duty at the time the accident happened.
  • Causation:  this breach was the primary cause of the accident and the injuries that you suffered.
  • Damages:  you suffered damages with a monetary value as a result of the accident.

Working with a Lawyer on Your Case

There are many ways that a cargo truck accident lawyer may be able to help you with your case.

One of the most important things a lawyer can do is gather evidence for you. This can include eyewitness testimony, video footage, or police reports. While you focus on recovering, your attorney can hunt for all the evidence available. A lawyer can also bring in specialists to testify in your defense, such as medical professionals to accident reconstruction experts.

Your lawyer can also manage the day-to-day administrative aspects of pursuing your potential right to financial recovery. These tasks may include answering emails, organizing documents, and communicating with other parties on your behalf.

After they have built your case, your lawyer can file your insurance claim or lawsuit on your behalf. This may initiate a series of settlement negotiations with the responsible party’s insurance company. You will have the final say on whether to accept or reject any settlement offer your lawyer may help you receive.

If the responsible party’s insurance company does not make you a fair offer, your lawyer can take your case to court.
