New Jersey Landscaping Truck Accident Lawyers
Compassionate Personal Injury Lawyers Work to Secure Compensation for Injured Victims of Landscaping Truck Accidents in New Jersey
Landscaping trucks are often responsible for many accidents involving other motorists, bicyclists, and pedestrians in towns and residential neighborhoods throughout New Jersey. Often, we find that the operator of a landscaping truck involved in an accident lacks the training and experience to safely operate a large, heavy, commercial-sized truck. Or landscaping truck drivers drive through residential neighborhoods at speeds more appropriate for a smaller passenger vehicle but unsafe for a large truck. In addition, landscaping trucks often have to maneuver through narrow residential side streets, creating the risk of tragic back-up accidents.

Causes of Landscaping Truck Accidents
In most cases, landscaping trucks are driven by employees of the landscaping company, who have been hired for landscaping, lawn care, or gardening, and likely do not have training in the operation of commercial vehicles or a commercial driver’s license. Landscapers must work outside, no matter the weather conditions, often rushing from one customer’s property to the next. As a result, it is easy for a landscaping truck driver to commit an act of carelessness that results in injury to an innocent victim. Some of the most frequent contributing factors to landscaping truck accidents in New Jersey include:
- Speeding
- Aggressive or reckless driving
- Failing to check mirrors and blind spots when backing up and turning
- Distracted driving, including cell phone use while behind the wheel
- Drowsy or fatigued driving
- Driving under the influence
- Driver inexperience
- Driver’s unfamiliarity with route
- Improper or deferred vehicle maintenance
- Vehicle defects
When landscaping truck drivers operate their vehicles in a negligent manner and when landscaping companies fail to ensure that the employees driving their vehicles have the proper training and experience to operate such large vehicles, those parties can be held responsible when an accident occurs.

Frequently Asked Questions about Landscaping Truck Accidents in New Jersey
FAQ: How long will my claim take?The length of time that a landscaping truck accident will take depends on multiple factors, including whether liability is an issue in your case and the extent of your injuries. If the opposing party accepts responsibility for the accident and your losses and expenses from the accident are known, it may be possible to resolve your claim in a matter of a few months. However, if the opposing parties decide to contest liability or argue that you were partially at fault for the accident, or if you suffered serious injuries and are still undergoing medical treatment and recovery, making your ongoing and future medical and rehabilitation expenses uncertain, it can take longer to resolve your case.
FAQ: Do I have to go to court to pursue a claim for compensation for injuries I suffered in a landscaping truck accident?Our firm can develop a legal strategy that seeks to resolve your claim without going to court if that is your preference. We can help you explore alternatives to litigation in court, such as settlement negotiations, mediation, or arbitration. We make it our goal to get you the fair and full compensation you deserve as efficiently as possible. Of course, our attorneys will always honestly advise you when we believe that going to court or to trial represents the best option for securing the compensation you are entitled to, especially when the other side is unwilling to agree to a fair settlement.
