Red Bank Truck Accident Lawyers

Freehold, New Jersey is a busy commercial hub and the county seat of Monmouth County. Criss-crossed by several major highways, large trucks frequently traffic Freehold’s local and county roads. According to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), the majority of fatal accidents involve at least one commercial truck. Commercial truck accidents put occupants at risk for severe or fatal injuries.

Commercial truck accidents are often the result of truck driver error and poor driving behaviors. However, the majority of truck crashes are also the responsibility of large corporations and other entities, such as FedEx, UPS, XPO Logistics, and J.B. Hunt Transport Services, Inc. If you or someone you love has been harmed in a truck accident, our legal team at Ellis Law has the resources and knowledge of federal trucking regulations to vigorously pursue your claim against big corporations.
