How Does a Truck Accident Claim Work in Linden, NJ?

After a truck accident in Linden, your New Jersey auto insurance may cover medical bills through PIP, regardless of fault, if you qualify. Depending on who caused the crash and the rules that apply to your policy, you may also have a claim against the truck driver, trucking company, or their insurer.

Because truck crashes can involve a lot of evidence, it’s important to act quickly. Driver logs, black-box data, maintenance records, police reports, and photos can help explain what happened. Some records may be lost or overwritten if nobody requests them in time.

Unlike most car insurance policies, commercial trucking policies may offer much higher coverage limits. The amount depends on the truck, carrier, and applicable rules. You may also have a claim involving the truck’s owner, driver, employer, or another business if the evidence supports it.

When the trucking company’s insurer contacts you, an adjuster may ask questions or request a statement soon after the crash. Answer honestly, but avoid guessing about details you’re unsure of. Before agreeing to a recorded statement or accepting a settlement, make sure you understand what it means for your claim.

If you share some of the blame, New Jersey generally reduces your compensation based on your percentage of fault. You can still recover damages if you’re 50 percent responsible, but you generally cannot recover if your share of fault is greater than 50 percent.

If your claim isn’t resolved through a settlement, you may need to file a personal injury lawsuit. New Jersey generally gives you two years from the date of your injury to file, although exceptions may apply. Missing the deadline could mean losing your right to pursue compensation.

If the trucking company’s insurer disputes your claim, a truck accident lawyer can step in and handle the dispute for you. An attorney can also act quickly to request driver logs and other records before they’re lost.
