Teaneck, New Jersey Truck Accident Lawyers

Trucking companies are under pressure to meet demands, deliver cargo on-time, and adhere to an increasing body of state and federal regulations. As a result, corners are sometimes cut to reduce costs, putting other motorists at risk. The Law Offices of Benjamin G. Kelsen immediately investigates truck accidents, consulting accident investigators, reconstructionists, skid mark analysts, and other experts in collecting and analyzing evidence. Our attorneys subpoena the driver's driving log, the maintenance manifest of the truck involved, as well as the results of a driver's drug tests. When necessary, our office also collects and submits the on-board black box data recorder for analysis. We determine the cause of an accident, providing evidence and proof in order to demonstrate the cause of our client's injuries and the liability of the truck driver involved.

We have the legal knowledge and expert witness resources needed to hold negligent truck drivers legally accountable for the serious injuries they cause. To discuss your case, contact the Law Offices of Benjamin G. Kelsen today.
