Truck Accidents

Jersey City Truck Accident Lawyer

The trucking industry is regulated by state and federal law. Everything from how many consecutive hours a driver can drive, to the weight of a load, to vehicle maintenance is governed by laws intended to promote highway safety. At the law office of Joseph M. Ghabour, we not only work with investigators in determining how and why a truck accident happened, we also review company records in order to identify violations of the law. By looking at a driver’s log, weigh-ins, vehicle maintenance schedule, and other documents, we identify information that is at odds with driver or company testimony, suggesting a cover-up of the facts. 

We investigate truck accidents, uncover the facts, and hold negligent drivers legally and financially accountable for the injuries and fatalities they cause. To discuss your case, contact truck accident lawyer Joseph M. Ghabour today.

Recovery: Determining Your Losses

Truck accidents almost always involve serious head and neck injuries. Determining what your injuries mean in terms of lost wages, lost earnings, future medical expenses, and loss in quality of life, will determine a fair settlement or award. As a truck accident lawyer, Mr. Ghabour consults life care planners and economists in determining the short and long term costs of our client’s injuries. When necessary, we create a day-in-the-life video in order to show jurors what you’ve been forced to cope with on a daily basis since your accident. We tell you story and give meaning to you injuries and loss.
