Bad Weather Truck Accidents in Hackensack

Torrential rain. Icy roadways. Layers of snow blowing off trucks onto the highway.

There are any number of bad weather conditions that can contribute to a Bad Weather Truck Accident in Hackensack. A Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration study found that, in 2020, there were 4,444 large truck accidents in the U.S. that happened during poor weather conditions where at least one person died.

If you are reading this and someone you love has been killed by a Bad Weather Truck Accident in Hackensack, you have our deepest sympathies. The loss of a spouse, a family member, a friend is one of the most difficult experience a human being can endure, and there is no right or wrong way to grieve.

You— the loved one left behind— are entitled to answers. You may be entitled to financial compensation which, while it will never bring that lost loved one back home, may help a family member who must now carry on.

What You Should And Shouldn’t Do If A Loved One Is Killed In A Bad Weather Truck Accident

• Don’t meet with a representative of the trucking company, the truck driver or their insurance company without having legal representation. Their goals are to force you into accepting as little compensation as possible.
• Don’t sign anything from a representative of the trucking company, the truck driver or their insurance company. Don’t be tricked or pressured into signing a legally binding document.
• Do schedule a free consultation with a personal injury law lawyer from the O’Cathain Law Group Personal Injury Law Department. We’ve handled these types of cases before, and we live and work in New Jersey— we know its highways. You pay nothing upfront.

What Would You Do With Fair Compensation As A Result Of A Loved One Losing Their Life?

The family members left behind are shattered and stricken with grief. Financial worries may not be at the top of their list, and yet there are still mortgage payments to make, rent checks to be mailed, and groceries to buy. While it pales in comparison to the loss of a human life, money is the way our system compensates a family for their enormous loss. A wrongful death lawsuit may allow you to:

• Pay off a mortgage so the family home isn’t in jeopardy.
• Establish a college fund to secure the educational future of a child.
• Move to a town with a stronger school district

What Other Factors May Have Contributed To This Fatal Crash?

Trucking companies often push their drivers past the point of exhaustion. Put that together with bad weather and the consequences can be awful for other drivers.

Truckers get distracted and even use drugs to stay awake. Their concentration in bad weather can be off.

We’ll sue the trucking company, the individual driver, and the insurance carriers for both.
