New Jersey’s Trucking Industry

&NewLine;<p>Trucks are an integral part of New Jersey’s economy&comma; and they comprise some of the busiest highways in the country&period; New Jersey is packed with busy roads&comma; as thousands of trucks are seen moving in and out&nbsp&semi; daily&period; While these trucks play a vital role in the economy&comma; they also pose significant risks to other drivers on the road&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>Trucking accidents are a growing concern&period; The majority of these incidents result from widespread industry issues&comma; including driver fatigue&comma;&nbsp&semi; inadequate vehicle servicing&comma; and strict policies to secure delivery within unreasonable timeframes&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>When accidents happen&comma; the victims are often left dealing with devastating injuries&comma; financial hardships&comma; and complex legal battles&period; <a href&equals;"https&colon;&sol;&sol;www&period;dsslaw&period;com&sol;es&sol;accidente-de-camion&sol;">Abogados de Accidentes de Camiones en New Jersey<&sol;a> fight for the rights of those injured by negligent trucking companies&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<h2 class&equals;"wp-block-heading">The Silent Killer on New Jersey Roads<&sol;h2>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>Truck drivers are often pushed to their limits&comma; working long hours with minimal rest&comma; even if government rules place caps on how many hours a driver can be on the road&period; These rules are often ignored because trucking companies operate under constant deadlines&comma; which result in sleep-related accidents&period; Researchers say that going twenty-four hours without sleep and driving is as dangerous as being drunk behind the wheel&period; On interstate highways such as I-95 and I-78&comma; weary truckers drowsily zoom past&comma; ill-prepared to react to unexpected merging traffic&comma; greatly elevating the chances for deadly crashes&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<h2 class&equals;"wp-block-heading">A Disaster Waiting to Happen<&sol;h2>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>Trucks are required to perform a lot of maintenance given that they rack up thousands of miles in a week&period; Many companies&comma; however&comma; skip these routine checks for the sake of saving time and money&period; Worn-out brakes&comma; bald tires&comma; malfunctioning lights&comma; and engine failures can turn an 80&comma;000-pound truck into a deadly weapon&period; It is very common to see tire blowouts&comma; which result in trucks dangerously moving into other lanes&period;&nbsp&semi;&nbsp&semi;&nbsp&semi;&nbsp&semi;&nbsp&semi;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<h2 class&equals;"wp-block-heading">A Growing Threat<&sol;h2>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>Truck drivers suffer a great deal from distractions&period; Many truckers use smartphones&comma; GPS systems&comma; or in-cab entertainment devices while driving&comma; taking their focus off the road&period;&nbsp&semi; Even a three-second distraction at highway speeds can cause a fully loaded truck to travel the length of a football field without the driver noticing an obstacle&period; Texting and driving&comma; adjusting navigation settings&comma; driving while eating and shifting gear&nbsp&semi; all contribute to serious truck accidents&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<h2 class&equals;"wp-block-heading">When Speed Becomes Deadly<&sol;h2>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>The trucking industry runs on tight deadlines&comma; and many companies prioritize fast deliveries over safety&period; Drivers are often pressured to exceed speed limits or cut down on rest breaks to meet strict schedules&period; This reckless culture puts not only truckers at risk but also every other motorist on the road&period; In urban areas like Newark and Jersey City&comma; speeding delivery trucks create hazards for pedestrians and cyclists&period; On the freeway&comma; speeding trucks are often unable to come to a complete stop&comma; which leads to fatal rear-end collisions&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<h2 class&equals;"wp-block-heading">Who is at fault&quest;<&sol;h2>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>Unlike regular car accidents&comma; truck crashes often involve multiple liable parties&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>A truck driver&comma; the trucking company&comma; the service provider&comma; subcontractors&comma; or even the retailer of the faulty truck parts could be at fault&period; Insurers endeavor to offload liability&comma; which leads to inadequate relief&period; This leaves the victims with medical costs&comma;
