Catastrophic Injuries From Truck Wrecks ∙ Compensation
At Tepper, Scherling & Berliner, LLC, we have spent the past 30 years helping seriously injured truck accident victims obtain the compensation they need after truck wreck injuries. In that time, our Livingston truck accident attorneys have seen many trucking accidents on the major local thoroughfares of Route 80, Route 280 and Route 287. Because of the size and speed of trucks compared to cars, most trucking accidents involve catastrophic, even fatal injuries.
If you are like most of our personal injury clients, the medical costs for serious injuries are debilitating. Especially if you do not have the insurance coverage to cover these costs, there may be no way for you to be able to cover these extraordinarily high costs on your own. And you shouldn't have to.
Our attorneys take our clients' injuries very seriously. We will fight for your rights and help you get the best possible financial award for the injuries you have suffered.

Causes of Truck Accidents
Although some truck accidents do not have a party that is obviously at fault, the fact is, the vast majority of truck accidents could be avoided. Our lawyers have represented clients who have suffered injuries in truck accidents causes by:
- Bad weather: Although truck drivers cannot control the weather, they can usually avoid driving through weather that causes unnecessary accidents.
- Inattention: Truck drivers, like many other drivers, sometimes get distracted. The increase in cell-phone use has increased the frequency of this inattention.
- Drowsiness: Driving too many hours in a day to meet delivery deadlines can increase the risk of an accident substantially.
- Dangerous lane changing: Sometimes interstate truckers in unfamiliar urban areas will make sudden multiple lane changes to make exits that they didn't see in time, causing a much greater likelihood of an accident.
No Verbal Threshold Limitation With Commercial Vehicles and Trucks
When people suffer from car accident injuries in New Jersey, those subject to the verbal threshold cannot recover non-economic damages in a lawsuit unless they suffer from extremely serious, permanent or fatal injuries. Unlike with car accidents, there is no verbal threshold limitation on lawsuits arising from truck accidents and other commercial vehicle accidents.
