18-Wheeler Accident Attorneys in Monmouth County: Fighting for Maximum Compensation After Devastating Truck Crashes

When an 80,000-pound commercial truck slams into your vehicle on the Garden State Parkway, your life changes in an instant. One moment you’re commuting through Monmouth County, heading to work in Freehold or meeting friends in Red Bank. The next, you’re facing catastrophic injuries, mounting medical bills, and a trucking company that’s already working to minimize what they owe you.

We’ve seen it happen too many times on Monmouth County’s congested corridors. The intersection of I-195 and I-295. The merge lanes near the Asbury Park toll plaza. The tight curves where Route 35 meets the shore traffic. These aren’t just accident locations—they’re battlegrounds where innocent drivers get hurt because trucking companies cut corners on safety.

At Attorney911, we don’t let those companies push Monmouth County families around. Ralph Manginello has spent 25 years fighting for accident victims, and our team knows exactly how to hold trucking companies accountable when their negligence devastates lives here in Monmouth County and across the nation.

Why Monmouth County’s Highways Create Unique Trucking Dangers

Monmouth County sits at the crossroads of some of the most heavily trafficked freight corridors in the Northeast. We’re not talking about rural backroads—we’re talking about the I-95 corridor connecting Philadelphia to New York, the I-195 funneling shore traffic to the Turnpike, and Route 18 serving as a major commercial artery through the county.

This geographic reality creates specific risks for Monmouth County drivers:

Port Spillover Traffic: With the Port of New York and New Jersey (the largest East Coast container port) just miles away, Monmouth County sees massive truck volume from container haulers moving cargo inland. These trucks often operate on tight delivery schedules, pushing drivers past federally mandated hours of service.

Winter Weather Hazards: When nor’easters hit the Jersey Shore, Monmouth County’s coastal highways become treacherous for 18-wheelers. Black ice on the Parkway, high winds on the Route 35 bridge, and sudden whiteouts near Sandy Hook create conditions where even experienced drivers lose control.

Tourist Season Congestion: From Memorial Day through Labor Day, the influx of beach traffic to Belmar, Asbury Park, and Long Branch creates stop-and-go conditions where rear-end truck collisions spike. A distracted truck driver on Route 71 during summer backup can cause chain-reaction pileups.

Toll Plaza Bottlenecks: The Garden State Parkway and New Jersey Turnpike toll plazas throughout Monmouth County force trucks to brake suddenly from highway speeds, leading to brake failure accidents and rear-end crashes.

We know these roads. We’ve investigated accidents at the I-195/I-295 interchange in Hamilton Township. We’ve handled cases involving tire blowouts on the Route 18 commercial corridor near East Brunswick. When you hire us for your Monmouth County trucking accident case, you get attorneys who understand the local traffic patterns, the specific hazards of Shore-area driving, and how Monmouth County juries view trucking negligence.

The Attorney911 Advantage: 25 Years of Fighting for Truck Accident Victims

Ralph Manginello built this firm in 1998 on a simple principle: everyday people deserve the same aggressive representation that corporations get. For over two decades, Ralph has gone toe-to-toe with the largest trucking companies in America—and won.

Our managing partner brings credentials that matter for your Monmouth County case:

  • Federal Court Experience: Ralph is admitted to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas, giving us the capability to handle interstate trucking cases that often end up in federal court. This matters because many Monmouth County trucking accidents involve carriers operating across state lines under federal FMCSA regulations.

  • Fortune 500 Litigation Background: We’ve battled the world’s largest corporations, including our work on the BP Texas City Refinery explosion litigation where 15 workers were killed. When we say we can stand up to big trucking, we mean it—we’ve done it against companies with far deeper pockets than most carriers.

  • Multi-Million Dollar Track Record: We’ve recovered over $50 million for clients across all practice areas. In trucking and catastrophic injury cases specifically, we’ve secured:

    • $5+ million for traumatic brain injury victims
    • $3.8+ million for amputation cases
    • $2.5+ million for commercial truck crash recoveries
    • $2+ million for maritime and industrial back injuries

Right now, we’re actively litigating a $10 million lawsuit against the University of Houston and Pi Kappa Phi fraternity involving hazing that caused acute kidney failure. While that’s a different practice area, it demonstrates our capacity to handle high-stakes, complex litigation against well-funded defendants—the same skill set we bring to your Monmouth County trucking case.

The Insider Advantage: Former Insurance Defense Attorney on Your Side

Here’s what most personal injury firms in Monmouth County can’t offer: Our associate attorney, Lupe Peña, used to work for a national insurance defense firm. He spent years inside the system, watching adjusters minimize claims, learning the algorithms they use to calculate “pain and suffering,” and understanding exactly how trucking insurers train their people to deny legitimate claims.

Now Lupe uses that insider knowledge against them. When the trucking company’s adjuster calls offering a quick $50,000 settlement for your Monmouth County accident, Lupe recognizes that tactic immediately—they’re trying to settle before you understand the full extent of your injuries. When they claim your pre-existing condition disqualifies you from compensation, Lupe knows that’s often a bluff designed to exploit gaps in your medical records.

Lupe is also fluent in Spanish. For Monmouth County’s Hispanic communities in towns like Long Branch and Red Bank, this means direct representation without interpreters. Hablamos Español. Llame al 1-888-ATTY-911 para una consulta gratis con Lupe Peña.

Federal Trucking Regulations: The Rules Trucking Companies Break in Monmouth County

Every 18-wheeler operating on Monmouth County’s highways must comply with Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulations under Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations. When trucking companies violate these rules, they create the dangerous conditions that cause catastrophic accidents.

Here are the critical regulations we investigate in every Monmouth County trucking case:

49 CFR Part 391: Driver Qualification Standards

Before a driver can legally operate a commercial truck on the Garden State Parkway or I-95 through Monmouth County, the trucking company must verify they are qualified. This means:

  • Valid Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) appropriate for the vehicle class
  • Medical examiner’s certificate proving physical fitness (maximum 24 months validity)
  • Three-year driving history check with previous employers
  • Pre-employment drug testing and enrollment in random testing programs
  • Entry-level driver training certification for new operators

We subpoena the Driver Qualification File for every trucking accident case in Monmouth County. If the company hired a driver with a suspended license, a history of DUIs, or fake credentials, that’s negligent hiring—and it makes them liable for your injuries.

49 CFR Part 392: Safe Driving Operations

This section covers the actual operation of the vehicle. Critical violations we commonly find in Monmouth County accidents include:

Hours of Service Violations (Part 395): Truck drivers cannot drive more than 11 hours after 10 consecutive hours off-duty. They must take a 30-minute break after 8 cumulative hours of driving. And they cannot exceed 60 hours on duty in 7 days (or 70 hours in 8 days).

Given Monmouth County’s proximity to the Port of NY/NJ, we see plenty of drowsy drivers pushing past these limits to make delivery windows. Electronic Logging Device (ELD) data—which we demand within 48 hours of being hired—proves these violations objectively.

Distracted Driving (§ 392.80-82): Hand-held mobile phone use is prohibited while driving. We subpoena cell phone records to prove the driver was texting or calling when they caused your Monmouth County accident.

Following Too Closely (§ 392.11): An 80,000-pound truck traveling at 65 mph requires nearly two football fields to stop. When truckers tailgate on I-95 through Monmouth County during rush hour, they’re violating federal law—and when they rear-end somebody, we have a clear liability case.

49 CFR Part 393: Vehicle Equipment and Cargo Securement

This section mandates minimum standards for the truck itself. We see violations cause accidents throughout Monmouth County:

Brake Systems (§ 393.40-55): Trucks must have properly functioning service brakes on all wheels. Brake adjustment must be maintained within specifications. Given Monmouth County’s toll plazas and stop-and-go shore traffic, brake failures from poor maintenance cause devastating rear-end collisions.

Cargo Securement (§ 393.100-136): Cargo must be secured to withstand 0.8g deceleration forces (sudden stops). Tiedowns must have working load limits equal to at least 50% of cargo weight. When container trucks from the nearby ports haul through Monmouth County with improperly secured loads, cargo shifts can cause rollovers on curves like the Route 33 bypass.

Lighting and Reflectors (§ 393.11): Commercial trucks must have proper lighting visible from all angles. This is critical in Monmouth County’s winter months when darkness falls early and fog rolls in from the Raritan Bay.

49 CFR Part 396: Inspection and Maintenance

Trucking companies must systematically inspect, repair, and maintain their vehicles. Drivers must conduct pre-trip inspections before every shift and submit written reports on vehicle condition.

When we handle a Monmouth County trucking accident, we demand:

  • 12 months of maintenance records
  • Pre-trip inspection reports from the day of the accident
  • Post-trip reports showing any defects the driver noticed
  • Records of any “out-of-service” violations where inspectors ordered the truck off the road

If the company skipped brake maintenance to save money, or if the driver ignored a known tire defect, those records prove negligence under Part 396.

The 10 Types of 18-Wheeler Accidents We See in Monmouth County

Not all trucking accidents are the same. The specific type of crash determines what evidence we need, what regulations were violated, and who besides the driver might be liable.

1. Underride Collisions (The Most Deadly)

An underride occurs when a passenger vehicle slides under the trailer of an 18-wheeler. These are catastrophic—often decapitating vehicle occupants or causing severe head trauma. We see these on Monmouth County’s high-speed corridors like I-195 and the Garden State Parkway.

Federal Requirements: 49 CFR § 393.86 mandates rear impact guards on trailers manufactured after January 26, 1998. However, these guards often fail in crashes, and there’s no federal requirement for side underride guards (though advocacy continues).

Liable Parties: Beyond the driver, we investigate the trailer manufacturer for defective guards, the maintenance company for rusted or damaged guards, and the trucking company for failure to maintain proper rear lighting that might have prevented the collision.

2. Jackknife Accidents

A jackknife occurs when the trailer swings out perpendicular to the cab, often sweeping across multiple lanes. These are common on Monmouth County’s curved ramps and during winter weather events.

Common Causes: Sudden braking on wet pavement, empty trailers (which are lighter and more prone to swing), and brake system failures.

Evidence We Gather: ECM data showing brake application timing, weight distribution records, and weather data from Monmouth County sensors at the time of the crash.

3. Rollover Crashes

Given Monmouth County’s coastal geography, we see rollovers on elevated highways and ramps—particularly where I-195 curves toward the Turnpike or on the Route 35 elevated sections near the Shore.

Physics: An 80,000-pound truck with a high center of gravity will roll if speed is excessive on curves or if cargo shifts suddenly.

FMCSA Violations: Part 393 cargo securement violations are almost always present in rollover crashes. We also look for Part 392.6 violations for speeding.

4. Rear-End Collisions

The Garden State Parkway through Monmouth County sees frequent rear-end truck accidents, especially near the Asbury Park toll plaza and during summer shore traffic backups.

The Math: At 65 mph, a loaded truck needs 525 feet to stop—40% more than a passenger car. When truck drivers follow too closely or are distracted by their phones, they can’t stop in time.

Evidence: ECM data showing the truck’s speed and braking, ELD data showing if the driver was fatigued, and cell phone records proving distraction.

5. Tire Blowouts

Monmouth County’s temperature swings—from summer heat on the asphalt to winter cold—stress truck tires. When a steer tire (front tire) blows, the driver often loses control entirely.

Maintenance Records: We subpoena tire purchase records, inspection reports, and pressure check logs. Part 393.75 requires minimum tread depths (4/32″ on steer tires).

6. Wide Turn Accidents (“Squeeze Play”)

18-wheelers swinging wide to make right turns on Monmouth County’s narrower streets—like Route 35 through Sea Bright or local roads in Red Bank—can crush vehicles in adjacent lanes.

Driver Error: Failure to check blind spots, improper signaling, or inexperience with trailer tracking.

7. Blind Spot Collisions

Trucks have massive “no-zones”—20 feet in front, 30 feet behind, and large areas on both sides. When a truck changes lanes on I-95 through Monmouth County without checking mirrors, they sideswipe or run vehicles off the road.

Regulatory Requirement: 49 CFR § 393.80 mandates proper mirrors. We check if mirrors were adjusted properly and if the driver was trained on blind spot checking.

8. Cargo Spills and Hazmat Incidents

Given Monmouth County’s proximity to chemical plants and the port, we occasionally see cargo spills—either hazardous materials from nearby industrial facilities or container contents from port haulers.

Securement Violations: Part 393 tiedown requirements are specific about working load limits. When loaders cut corners to save time, cargo falls onto the Parkway or spills chemicals on local roads.

9. Head-On Collisions

Though less common, head-on truck collisions on two-lane roads in western Monmouth County (like County Route 524 or 537) are often fatal. Causes include driver fatigue, distraction, or medical emergencies.

10. Brake Failure Accidents

Monmouth County’s toll plazas require frequent braking. When maintenance companies cut corners on brake adjustments or when trucking companies defer repairs to keep trucks rolling, brakes fail on downhill grades or approaching traffic.

Evidence: Maintenance logs showing deferred repairs, inspection reports citing brake defects, and ECM data showing reduced braking power before the crash.

Who We Hold Responsible: Every Liable Party in Your Monmouth County Trucking Case

Unlike a simple car accident where usually only one driver is at fault, 18-wheeler crashes involve multiple parties who may share liability. We investigate every potential defendant to maximize your compensation.

1. The Truck Driver

Direct negligence includes speeding through Monmouth County’s construction zones, texting while driving, operating while fatigued, or driving under the influence. We obtain their driving record, employment history, and cell phone data.

2. The Trucking Company (Motor Carrier)

Under the doctrine of respondeat superior, employers are liable for their employees’ negligent acts. Additionally, we look for:

  • Negligent Hiring: Did they check the driver’s background? Did they know about previous accidents?
  • Negligent Training: Did the driver receive proper training on Monmouth County’s specific hazards, like winter weather protocols or port traffic navigation?
  • Negligent Supervision: Did they monitor the driver’s hours of service compliance?
  • Negligent Maintenance: Did they skip brake or tire maintenance to save money?

3. The Cargo Owner and Loading Company

Given Monmouth County’s role in the port logistics chain, many accidents involve improperly loaded containers. If a loading company in Elizabeth or Newark secured cargo inadequately and that caused a rollover on I-95 in Monmouth County, we pursue them.

4. The Freight Broker

Brokers who arrange transportation but don’t own the trucks may be liable for negligent carrier selection. If a broker hired a carrier with a terrible safety record (visible on FMCSA’s SAFER database) to haul through Monmouth County, they share the blame.

5. Maintenance Companies

Third-party mechanics who performed faulty brake repairs or tire installations on the truck may be liable under maintenance negligence theories.

6. Truck and Parts Manufacturers

If a defective brake system, faulty tire, or inadequate underride guard contributed to the Monmouth County accident, we pursue product liability claims against manufacturers. This requires preserving the vehicle and components for expert inspection—another reason to call us immediately.

7. Government Entities

If poor road design, inadequate signage, or lack of guardrails contributed to the accident on Monmouth County’s local roads, we may have claims against state or county transportation departments. Note: New Jersey’s Tort Claims Act imposes strict notice requirements (usually 90 days) on these cases, so immediate action is critical.

New Jersey Law: What Monmouth County Accident Victims Need to Know

While federal regulations govern the trucking industry, state law determines how long you have to sue and how fault affects your recovery.

Statute of Limitations: Don’t Miss the Deadline

Under New Jersey law (N.J.S.A. 2A:14-2), you have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. For wrongful death claims, the clock starts running on the date of death (N.J.S.A. 2A:31-3).

Critical Exception: If your accident involved a government entity—perhaps a Monmouth County road maintenance issue or a state-owned vehicle—you must file a Notice of Claim within 90 days of the accident (N.J.S.A. 59:8-8). Miss this deadline, and you lose your right to sue the government, regardless of how strong your case is.

This is why we tell Monmouth County residents: Call us within 48 hours, not 2 years.

Comparative Negligence in New Jersey

New Jersey follows a “modified comparative negligence” rule with a 51% bar (N.J.S.A. 2A:15-5.1). This means:

  • If you were partially at fault, you can still recover damages, but your award is reduced by your percentage of fault.
  • BUT: If you are found to be more than 50% at fault, you recover nothing.

Example: If a Monmouth County jury awards you $1 million but finds you 30% at fault for the accident (perhaps you were speeding slightly), you receive $700,000. If they find you 51% at fault, you receive $0.

The trucking company’s insurance adjuster will try to pin as much blame on you as possible. They’ll claim you changed lanes abruptly or braked suddenly. We counter this with ECM data, witness statements, and accident reconstruction to keep your fault percentage as low as possible.

Punitive Damages Caps

New Jersey caps punitive damages (meant to punish egregious conduct) at the greater of five times your compensatory damages or $350,000 (N.J.S.A. 2A:15-5.14). While this limits the “nuclear verdicts” seen in some other states, it still allows substantial punishment for trucking companies that knowingly put dangerous drivers on Monmouth County roads or falsify maintenance records.

Insurance Requirements

Federal law (not state law) mandates trucking insurance minimums:

  • $750,000 for general freight
  • $1,000,000 for oil, large equipment, and certain hazmat
  • $5,000,000 for hazardous materials and passenger transport

Many commercial carriers carry $1-5 million in coverage. This is significantly more than New Jersey’s auto insurance minimum ($15,000/$30,000), which is why trucking accidents can result in substantial settlements—but only if you have an attorney who knows how to access these policies.

Catastrophic Injuries and Real Case Values in Monmouth County Trucking Accidents

The size and weight disparity between an 18-wheeler and a passenger vehicle (20-to-1 ratio) means trucking accidents typically cause catastrophic injuries, not minor fender-benders. Here’s what we fight to compensate for:

Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI)

Even “mild” TBIs (concussions) can cause lifelong cognitive deficits, personality changes, and sensitivity to light/sound. Severe TBIs require 24/7 care and can cost $3 million+ over a lifetime.

Settlement Range: $1.5 million to $9.8 million+ (based on our firm’s case results and New Jersey jury verdicts for similar injuries)

Spinal Cord Injuries and Paralysis

Damage to the spinal cord can result in paraplegia (loss of leg function) or quadriplegia (loss of all four limbs). These injuries require wheelchair accessibility modifications to Monmouth County homes, lifelong medical care, and loss of earning capacity.

Settlement Range: $4.7 million to $25.8 million+

Amputations

Whether traumatic (severed at the scene) or surgical (due to crush injuries), amputations require prosthetics ($5,000-$50,000 each, replaced every few years), rehabilitation, and career retraining.

Settlement Range: $1.9 million to $8.6 million

Wrongful Death

When a Monmouth County family loses a loved one to trucking negligence, we pursue compensation for:

  • Lost future income the decedent would have earned
  • Loss of parental guidance (for children)
  • Loss of companionship (for spouses)
  • Funeral and burial expenses
  • Medical bills before death
  • The decedent’s pain and suffering before death

Settlement Range: $1.9 million to $9.5 million+ (depending on the victim’s age, earning capacity, and the egregiousness of the trucking company’s conduct)

The 48-Hour Evidence Crisis: Why You Must Act Immediately

Here’s something the trucking company doesn’t want you to know: Critical evidence disappears fast.

Unlike car accidents where the vehicles sit in impound lots for weeks, trucking companies have rapid-response teams. Within hours of a Monmouth County accident, they have investigators on the scene, drivers being coached on what to say, and legal teams working to protect their interests.

The Clock Is Ticking:

  • ECM/Black Box Data: Can be overwritten in as little as 30 days, or sometimes with the next ignition cycle. This data proves speed, braking, and hours of service.
  • ELD Records: Required to be kept only 6 months under federal rules.
  • Dashcam Footage: Often recorded over within 7-14 days if not preserved.
  • Witness Memories: Fade within weeks. Witnesses who saw the accident on the Garden State Parkway move on or forget details.
  • Physical Evidence: The truck itself may be repaired, sold, or returned to service, destroying evidence of brake defects or tire wear.

Our Immediate Action Protocol:
When you call 1-888-ATTY-911 within 48 hours of your Monmouth County accident, we:

  1. Send Spoliation Letters within 24 hours to the trucking company, their insurer, and any maintenance companies. This puts them on legal notice that destroying evidence will result in court sanctions.
  2. Demand Immediate Downloads of the ECM and ELD data before it can be overwritten.
  3. Preserve the Vehicles: We ensure the truck and your vehicle are not repaired or scrapped before inspection.
  4. Capture Surveillance: We check for traffic cameras on Monmouth County highways and security cameras from nearby businesses that may have recorded the crash.
  5. Interview Witnesses before their memories fade or they move away.

Every day you wait, the trucking company gains an advantage. Call us before they destroy the evidence you need to prove your case.

Frequently Asked Questions: Monmouth County 18-Wheeler Accidents

How long do I have to sue after a trucking accident in Monmouth County?
Under New Jersey law, you have two years from the accident date. However, if a government entity is involved (poor road design, county vehicle), you have only 90 days to file a Notice of Claim. But practically speaking, you shouldn’t wait even two weeks—evidence starts disappearing immediately.

What if I was partially at fault for the accident in Monmouth County?
New Jersey uses modified comparative negligence. If you were less than 51% at fault, you can still recover, but your award is reduced by your fault percentage. So if you’re awarded $500,000 but found 20% at fault, you receive $400,000. We work to minimize any assigned fault to you.

Who pays my medical bills while the case is pending?
Initially, your Personal Injury Protection (PIP) auto insurance covers medical bills up to your policy limits. If you’re a Monmouth County resident with a standard New Jersey policy, that’s often $15,000. Once that’s exhausted, we work with medical providers to treat you on a lien basis (they get paid from your settlement). We can also help facilitate treatment with doctors who understand trucking accident cases.

Do I really need an attorney, or can I deal with the insurance company myself?
The trucking company’s insurer has one goal: pay you as little as possible. Their adjusters are trained to minimize claims. Our associate attorney Lupe Peña used to train those adjusters—he knows their playbook. Studies show that accident victims with attorneys recover significantly more than those without, even after attorney fees are paid.

How much does it cost to hire Attorney911 for my Monmouth County case?
Nothing upfront. We work on contingency—33.33% if settled before trial, 40% if we go to trial. We also advance all case costs (expert fees, court filing fees, investigation costs). If we don’t win, you don’t pay us anything. You never receive a bill from us during the case.

What if the truck driver was an independent contractor, not an employee?
This complicates things but doesn’t end your case. We investigate whether the trucking company exercised control over the driver (making them liable under “vicarious liability”) or if the company negligently hired an unqualified independent contractor. We also pursue the driver’s own insurance and the trucking company’s contingent liability coverage.

Can I sue if my loved one died in a Monmouth County trucking accident?
Yes. New Jersey allows wrongful death claims by surviving spouses, children, and sometimes parents. You can recover for lost financial support, loss of companionship, and funeral expenses. If the trucking company acted with gross negligence (knowingly hiring a dangerous driver, falsifying logs), you may also recover punitive damages up to $350,000 or 5x compensatory damages.

How long will my case take?
Simple cases with clear liability and moderate injuries may settle in 6-12 months. Complex cases involving catastrophic injuries, multiple parties, or disputed liability may take 18-36 months. We push for resolution as quickly as possible while ensuring you don’t settle for less than you need for lifetime care.

What if I don’t have health insurance?
We can help arrange treatment with medical providers who work on a Letter of Protection (LOP)—meaning they agree to wait for payment until your case settles. This ensures you get the care you need for your Monmouth County accident injuries without upfront costs.

Will my case go to trial?
Most trucking accident cases settle before trial. However, we prepare every case as if it’s going to trial. Insurance companies offer better settlements when they know your attorney is willing to go to court. With our track record—including federal court experience and multi-million dollar verdicts—trucking companies know we mean business.

Do you handle cases for undocumented immigrants in Monmouth County?
Yes. Immigration status does not prevent you from recovering compensation for injuries caused by someone else’s negligence. We handle these cases with discretion, and Lupe Peña is fluent in Spanish to serve Monmouth County’s Hispanic communities.

What is a spoliation letter, and why did you send one immediately?
A spoliation letter is a formal legal notice demanding that the trucking company preserve all evidence related to your Monmouth County accident—ECM data, ELD logs, maintenance records, driver files, and the vehicles themselves. Once they receive this, destroying evidence becomes a serious legal violation that can result in sanctions or adverse inference instructions (the jury is told to assume the destroyed evidence was bad for the trucking company).

Why Monmouth County Families Choose Attorney911

In the days after a devastating trucking accident on the Garden State Parkway or Route 18, you have a choice. You can accept the insurance company’s first lowball offer—which they’ll make quickly to close the case before you understand your injuries. You can hire a general practice lawyer who handles “a little bit of everything.” Or you can hire a firm that specializes in holding trucking companies accountable.

Ralph Manginello has spent 25 years building a reputation as a fighter. Our 4.9-star Google rating from 251+ reviews reflects how we treat clients like family, not file numbers. As our client Chad Harris said, “You are NOT just some client… You are FAMILY to them.”

We know the specific challenges of Monmouth County trucking cases:

  • The winter weather hazards on the Shore
  • The port traffic congestion
  • The local court systems in Freehold and Monmouth County Superior Court
  • The applicable New Jersey comparative negligence laws

And we have the resources to take on national trucking carriers who think they can push around local residents. With our federal court admission, experience against Fortune 500 companies, and a team that includes a former insurance defense insider, we level the playing field.
