Fatal Tractor-Trailer Crashes in New Jersey

Because New Jersey is a hub for industry, semi-trucks, and tractor-trailers are all over the state’s roads. This makes the road less safe and contributes to a high number of truck accidents. According to New Jersey truck accident statistics, there were 32 tractor-trailer wrecks and 35 truck accident fatalities in the state in a recent year. A total of 4,714 people died in total in 2021, an increase of roughly 17 percent from 2020. Truck occupants were involved in nearly 16 percent of deaths, with nearly 68 percent involving occupants of passenger cars. You need to be prepared to seek a claim for compensation with the assistance of an experienced attorney if someone close to you is unfairly killed in a trucking accident.
