Given the catastrophic and violent forces that a dump truck can impart in a collision with another vehicle, these statistics are not surprising.

Why Dump Truck Accidents Occurs

There are numerous factors that can cause or contribute to a dump truck accident in New Jersey. Some of the most frequent causes of dump truck accidents include:

  • Excessive speeding
  • Unsafe turns
  • Failing to signal before turns or lane changes
  • Tailgating, or following another vehicle too closely
  • Distracted driving
  • Fatigued or drowsy driving
  • Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
  • Lack of training or driver’s unfamiliarity with a truck
  • Broken or failing component, often due to deferred or improperly performed maintenance
  • Design or manufacturing defects in truck components

Many dump truck accidents arise when dump truck drivers and the companies that operate them disregard regulations issued by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration and the state of New Jersey to ensure the safe operation of these vehicles on public roads. For example, drivers and companies may fail to perform required inspections, or drivers may exceed the hours-of-service limitations on their duty shifts.

Determining the cause or causes of a dump truck accident requires a thorough investigation by experienced legal professionals in coordination with accident reconstruction, engineering, and trucking industry experts.

Frequently Asked Questions about Dump Truck Accidents in New Jersey

How long do I have to file a claim for a dump truck accident?

Under New Jersey’s statute of limitations, you are typically required to bring a lawsuit for compensation within two years of the date of a dump truck accident that caused you injury and/or property damage (minor children injured in a dump truck accident may have two years from their 18th birthday to file a lawsuit). If you file your suit after the limitations period on your claim has expired, the court will have grounds to permanently dismiss your case without even considering the merits of your claim, and you will lose your right to seek financial recovery in court.

What kind of compensation could I recover if I was injured in a dump truck accident?

The compensation you may be entitled to for a dump truck accident that wasn’t your fault will often largely depends on the severity of your injuries; the more badly you are hurt, the more likely you are to receive compensation for different kinds of losses and the larger that amount of compensation will be. Examples of compensation available after a dump truck accident include costs of medical treatment and physical rehabilitation, long-term care costs for disabilities caused by the accident, lost income and earning potential, lost quality of life, pain and suffering, and loss of consortium.
