Causas y Consecuencias de los Accidentes de Camiones
Las causas de los accidentes de camiones que involucran accidentes de vehículos motorizados a menudo son el resultado de una variedad de factores diferentes. Algunas de las causas más comúnmente citadas que merecen la atención de un abogado de accidentes de camión de New Jersey incluyen:
Fatiga del Conductor y Conducción Somnolienta
La industria del transporte por carretera es notoria por sus demandas físicas sobre sus conductores. Los conductores de camiones a menudo son empujados a sus límites físicos al conducir durante largos períodos de tiempo y a grandes distancias. Muchos accidentes de camiones ocurren cuando los conductores de camiones se quedan dormidos al volante y se desvían inadvertidamente hacia otro carril de tráfico.
Mal Estado de las Carreteras
El mantenimiento inadecuado de las carreteras crean condiciones peligrosas para los camiones. Con su gran tamaño y su mayor capacidad de velocidad, es posible que los camiones grandes no puedan adaptarse rápidamente a los defectos de la carretera.
Las Condiciones Climáticas
La operación de un vehículo comercial grande en condiciones climáticas adversas, como aguanieve, lluvia y nieve, puede contribuir a colisiones importantes entre camiones comerciales grandes y vehículos de pasajeros.
Conducción Agresiva
El exceso de velocidad, el seguir muy de cerca (tailgating) a otro vehículo motorizado y otros tipos de comportamiento agresivo de manejo pueden resultar en colisiones potencialmente fatales en autopistas e interestatales.
Conducción Distraida
Hablar por teléfono y enviar mensajes de texto mientras se conduce son los tipos más comunes de conducta de conducción distraída. La conducción distraída puede hacer que los conductores de camiones no revisen los puntos ciegos o no usen los intermitentes al cambiar de carril. Las colisiones por alcance, que la Administración Federal de Carreteras ha considerado la causa principal de muertes de camiones, a menudo ocurren como resultado de una conducción distraída.
Falla Mecánica
Otras colisiones de camiones graves pueden ocurrir cuando las piezas defectuosas del camión no funcionan correctamente. Los sistemas de frenos, los componentes de la dirección y las transmisiones defectuosos han provocado accidentes graves en camiones y han provocado lesiones corporales devastadoras e incluso la muerte.
Carga Incorrecta de Mercancía
Los camiones comerciales y los semi-remolques son responsables del transporte de mercancías en todo el país. Cuando la carga del camión está asegurada o cargada de manera inadecuada en un camión o en un remolque, los accidentes pueden ocurrir a medida que la carga u otros tipos de desechos se desplazan o caen a las carreteras y causan accidentes graves.
Conducir Bajo la Influencia de Drogas o Alcohol
Los conductores de camiones son especialmente propensos a la peligrosa actividad de conducir bajo la influencia de drogas o alcohol debido a sus horarios de trabajo erráticos. El uso de píldoras energéticas y otros medicamentos para permanecer despierto puede afectar la capacidad del conductor del camión para conducir de manera segura.
Daños Potenciales
Las colisiones de alto impacto con camiones grandes pueden provocar lesiones significativas en accidentes de camiones y daños a la propiedad de otros vehículos. Las lesiones corporales catastróficas, que incluyen parálisis, pérdida de miembros, fracturas de huesos, lesiones de la médula espinal, hemorragias internas y lesiones cerebrales traumáticas a menudo son el resultado de accidentes de camiones y semi-remolques.
Las Partes Responsables
Los conductores de camiones comerciales no son las únicas partes que pueden enfrentar la responsabilidad cuando los accidentes de camiones resultan en daños graves a la propiedad y lesiones corporales. Los propietarios de camiones, agentes de arrendamiento, empresas de carga y envío, empresas de mantenimiento, fabricantes, distribuidores, diseñadores e ingenieros pueden compartir la responsabilidad. En Grungo Colarulo, nuestros abogados especializados en accidentes de camiones de New Jersey, lo ayudarán a identificar a todas las posibles partes responsables para que usted obtenga la cantidad máxima de compensación por sus lesiones.

Testimonial from Paul D. -
My case settled recently after lasting 4 years. Grungo and Colarulo’s law firm were able to secure a large settlement award for my slip and fall accident. This money will help secure my future for the permanent injury I received as a result of the slip and fall. Everyone was very caring, and kept me informed throughout the entire process. Christine Lafferty is an excellent litigation lawyer. I highly recommend using them if you have been injured or in an accident. I hope I am never in a situation again to need their services, but I know who to go to if I, or any of my family members are ever injured. Thanks Grungo and Colarulo and staff for your compassionate service!

My wife and I reached out to Grungo Colarulo in 2020 for advise on a legal matter. After a meeting with the Attorney and Paralegal, we decided to go forward with a case. This case required a lot of documentation, and expert review of the documentation which was aquired. Throughout the process, we were kept up to date monthly, and Grungo Colarulo was always responsive to any questions that we had. The entire staff at Grungo Colarulo are very professional, caring, and willing to go the extra mile. This firm is a definite recommend!

Testimonial from Aminah M. -
A dear family friend referred us to a young attorney named Rich Grungo, Jr. We wanted answers and if necessary, justice for our father. From day one of a five-year journey, Mr. Rich Grungo, Jr. made our family and our pain his own. The man never stopped working for us. He kept us informed every step of the way. Questions were answered quickly and with great compassion and expertise. Even though Rich was always busy, he was never too busy for us. We always felt like we were his only clients
Testimonial from Mickey -
I had the opportunity to observe Mr. Grungo work in this case, both in the courtroom on the technical matters of the motions and also as his presentation to the jury in opening and presenting witnesses as well as utilizing animations… and drawings and films that were necessary for a proper understanding of the case…At all times during the presentation, Mr. Grungo operated mostly without notes and questioned the witnesses in a conversational manner which made it most effective. **

Hi Rich, Well I’m on my way up to college to finish packing my son’s stuff up and to go to his Graduation tomorrow. It’s hard to believe how fast and how slow, at the same time 5 years can go by.

God Bless to you and your family.
