Among the most dangerous situations that can occur on Hamilton Square area roads are events involving commercial trucks. Tractor trailers, construction vehicles, and delivery trucks are always much larger than personal vehicles. They deliver more force upon impact, and their size makes it difficult for them to stop in an emergency and creates massive blind spots.
If a trucker’s negligence was the reason for a crash, you have the right to seek appropriate compensation for your losses. This includes the payment of medical bills, compensation for lost quality of life, and reimbursement for missing wages. Still, it is impossible to collect these payments unless you can show that a trucker was to blame for a crash. A Hamilton Square truck accident lawyer is ready to take the lead and protect your legal rights after a collision. A personal injury attorney could support your compensation claim.
Proving a Trucker Was at Fault for a Crash
All collisions involving motor vehicles are someone’s fault. People who suffered injuries in these incidents need to show another driver was to blame if they want to collect compensation for their losses. The most common way to accomplish this is to show that a trucker was negligent.
Truckers can be careless in many ways. The most direct way to prove this concept is to show a trucker violated a law in the moments leading up to the wreck. Examples include:
- Speed limit violations
- Failure to yield
- Driving while intoxicated
- Texting while driving
In addition to these common laws that impact all travelers, federal regulations also place time limits on how long a trucker may be on the road during any specific day or week. A trucker who violates these limits is just as negligent as one who fails to stop at a stop sign. An attorney in Hamilton Square is ready to obtain the evidence needed to show that a trucker was to blame for a collision.
Available Compensation for Truck Wreck Victims
Proving fault for a truck accident is always a crucial part of any case. However, it is just as important to show how an event has impacted a victim’s life. The payments a person may receive in these cases depend on how they are able to connect their past, present, and future experiences to the collision.
Cases will always focus on physical injuries and the medical care needed to treat them. Broken bones, burns, and traumatic brain injuries are typical injuries after commercial vehicle collisions. In addition, cases should demand compensation for a victim’s lost quality of life. This can include emotional traumas and missing time with loved ones.
Finally, a case should examine the economic impact of the crash. This often involves lost income from time spent off the job making a recovery or payments for estimated future lost income. A truck crash lawyer in Hamilton Square could place an accurate value on a case and demand appropriate payments.
Is There a Time Limit to Pursue a Case?
A time limit applies to all injury cases arising from accidents. According to New Jersey Revised Statute § 2A:14-2, this time limit is generally as short as two years. However, many factors may extend or shorten this presumptive time limit. Reach out to a legal representative today to help satisfy this requirement.

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. I was just thinking of you as I am getting ready to leave and wanted to thank you once again for everything you have done for my son’s future. You are a good and just man. God Bless to you and your family.
