This is a 2026 list of New Jersey truck accident law firms, grouped by North, Central and South Jersey. Each firm also has an active New Jersey office, a published truck or commercial vehicle accident practice, and represents injured people on a contingency fee. However, truck cases run on a shorter evidence clock than car cases, so it helps to know your options early.
The 20 New Jersey truck accident law firms below all have at least one active New Jersey office, a truck or commercial vehicle accident practice described on their own website, plaintiff-side injury work, and a public record you can check in the New Jersey Attorney Index. Their offices also run from Fort Lee and Wayne in the north to Cherry Hill, Woodbury and Northfield in the south.
In other words, these are the offices of New Jersey truck accident lawyers and attorneys. Their truck practices also cover crashes with tractor-trailers, 18-wheelers, big rigs, semi-trucks, box trucks and delivery trucks.
Onal Injury Law publishes this page and is listed first. The numbers are only there to help you move around the page. However, they are not a ranking, and no firm paid to be included.
We grouped the New Jersey truck accident law firms by where their offices are, because most people start their search close to home or close to where the crash happened. Each entry also uses only facts the firm publishes about itself: office locations, practice focus, languages and credentials. In other words, we did not score or rate any firm.
Personal injury attorney John Onal represents people hurt in crashes with tractor-trailers, box trucks, delivery vans, dump trucks and garbage trucks across New Jersey and New York. The firm also handles the full case, from the first preservation letter to the trucking company through settlement talks or trial.
About our firm: you work directly with your attorney, and the firm also represents clients in English, Spanish and Turkish. In addition, our Cliffside Park office sits near the George Washington Bridge, so a crash on either side of the Hudson does not mean starting over with a second firm. We also review truck cases from anywhere in the U.S. and work with locally admitted counsel where a case requires it.

A truck case mixes New Jersey injury law with federal trucking rules. These are the points that shape most claims. However, they are simplified, and your own deadline depends on your facts.
First, most New Jersey injury lawsuits must be filed within two years of the crash. A wrongful death claim also generally has two years from the date of death.
However, if the truck belonged to a town, county, the state or an authority such as the Turnpike Authority, a written notice of claim is generally due within 90 days.
You can recover if you were not more than 50% at fault. However, any award is reduced by your share of the fault. For this reason, trucking insurers often argue this point hard.
First, your own PIP coverage pays your medical bills. In addition, if your auto policy has the limitation-on-lawsuit option, the verbal threshold applies to your pain and suffering claim even when a truck caused the crash.
Property-carrying drivers may drive up to 11 hours within a 14-hour window after 10 hours off duty. Electronic logs also show whether a driver broke these limits.
In fact, carriers only have to keep driver logs and supporting records for six months. Post-crash alcohol tests are also due within 8 hours and drug tests within 32 hours. As a result, a prompt preservation letter protects what the carrier is not required to keep.
In addition, interstate carriers must carry federal minimum liability insurance under 49 C.F.R. Part 387, which is set well above New Jersey's minimums for private cars. That coverage, plus the chance that the carrier, the broker, the shipper or a maintenance shop shares fault, is also a big reason truck cases are handled differently. For a deeper look at the evidence timeline, read New Jersey truck accident claims and the evidence clock.
These questions work for every one of the New Jersey truck accident law firms on this page, including ours. A good firm will answer them plainly at the first meeting.
Driver logs, dash camera footage and engine data can be lost or overwritten. For this reason, ask how quickly the firm puts the carrier on notice to keep them.
For example, ask whether the attorney you meet will be the one working your file, or whether it will be passed to someone else.
Most serious truck cases need an accident reconstructionist and, in many cases, a trucking safety expert. Also ask who the firm works with and who pays for them up front.
First, New Jersey caps contingency fees under Court Rule 1:21-7. Ask whether costs come out before or after the fee is calculated. Then ask what happens to costs if there is no recovery.
Cases against out-of-state trucking companies are sometimes moved to federal court. For that reason, ask whether the firm has handled cases there.
If English is not your first language, ask whether the attorney or staff will speak with you directly or through an interpreter.
The Supreme Court of New Jersey certifies attorneys who meet its trial experience, peer review and exam requirements. However, it is one fact to weigh, not a guarantee of any result.
In general, most people have two years from the date of the crash under N.J.S.A. 2A:14-2. However, if a government vehicle was involved, a notice of claim is generally due within 90 days. However, deadlines have exceptions, so have an attorney confirm yours.
Besides the driver, possible defendants also include the trucking company, the truck or trailer owner, a freight broker, the shipper or loader, a maintenance shop and a parts manufacturer. In each case, which ones apply depends on what caused the crash.
It can, because the threshold comes from your own auto policy. If you chose the limitation-on-lawsuit option, you must show an injury in one of six categories under N.J.S.A. 39:6A-8(a) to recover for pain and suffering, even when a commercial truck was at fault.
Claims against public entities fall under the New Jersey Tort Claims Act. A written notice is generally due within 90 days. In addition, there are extra limits on what you can recover. For example, garbage trucks, public works trucks and some buses fall into this group.
Most injury firms work on contingency, so there is no hourly bill. Court Rule 1:21-7(c) caps the fee at 33⅓% of the first $750,000 recovered, then 30%, 25% and 20% on each next $750,000. Also, a fee on amounts above $3 million requires court approval. Therefore, ask how case costs are handled before you sign.
Yes. An 18-wheeler, big rig, semi-truck and tractor-trailer all describe a tractor pulling a trailer. However, box trucks, dump trucks and delivery vans are also commercial trucks, and many of the same federal rules can apply to them.
Any injury lawyer can take a truck case. However, truck cases add federal trucking rules, commercial insurance and more defendants, so it helps to ask whether the attorney has handled New Jersey 18-wheeler or big rig cases before.
We think people choose better when they can compare. That is why we list ourselves first and say so plainly, we describe other firms only with facts they publish about themselves, and any firm can ask us to correct its entry.
