Fatigued Truck Driver Accidents in New Jersey
Birmingham Truck Accident Lawyer at Your Service
One of the leading causes of motor vehicle accidents in the United States is truck driver fatigue. When these accidents involve semi-trucks and tractor-trailers, the risks of catastrophic injuries or fatalities increase substantially.
If you suffered a serious injury after being involved in a devastating collision with a fatigued truck driver in New Jersey, our Woodbridge truck accident attorney could help you recover monetary compensation to make the best possible recovery. With more than 100+ years of combined experience, you can be confident in our abilities to help you obtain your entitled compensation.
Liability for Truck Driver Fatigue Collisions
Commercial truck drivers have an obligation to follow federal regulations regarding the number of consecutive hours they are permitted to operate a truck, as well as the amount of rest needed to gain before driving once again. It is mandatory for truck drivers to keep a detailed log and receipts to verify if they have met the requirements or not.
Our Woodbridge truck accident drivers can conduct a thorough investigation into the accident and gather evidence to determine if the trucker driver had a duty to exercise reasonable care, failed to exercise this duty, and caused your injuries and damages. In addition to the driver, we may be able to hold their employer liable as well if he or she failed to monitor the driver's hours adequately.

“The only personal injury lawyer that I will EVER use.”
The only personal injury lawyer that I will EVER use. I've used them twice with amazing results. They had the patience of a saint with me, and my second case was a complicated one. They still got me my maximum payout. Greg Goodman is amazing, as is his father Robert Goodman.- Larissa Marie C. -

“Everyone at the firm was kind, responsive, extremely competent, and expertly guided me every step of the way.”
We chose to contact Palmisano & Goodman after my accident because of their reputation for being extremely competent AND ethical. Everyone at the firm was kind, responsive, extremely competent, and expertly guided me every step of the way. I never had to call for an update on my case as Bob Goodman routinely called to keep me advised and to check on my medical progress. At times when I was overwhelmed by everything, Bob Goodman took the time to calm me down and reassure me. He is professional and compassionate and obviously cares about his client's well-being. He always told me what to expect and made me feel protected and expertly represented. We eventually settled at mediation and I’m profoundly grateful to everyone at Palmisano & Goodman. If you need an attorney, do not hesitate to contact them.- Mary W. -
“I highly recommend the Goodman firm!”
I am 67 years old. I hurt my neck on a business property and needed a fusion to repair herniated discs. The insurance companies hired three attorneys who blamed me for the accident. It was upsetting but Mr. Goodman kept me calm and patient. He then did an amazing job of showing the condition was dangerous, they knew about it, and didn't fix it. After he cross examined the defense doctor, the insurance companies' attorneys asked for a conference and we settled for one million dollars. I highly recommend the Goodman firm!- Rob S.
