If you were hurt in a truck accident in Newark, the steps you take next really matter. Thrive Legal moves fast to preserve evidence, deal with the insurers, and pursue the full value of your claim.
New Jersey is one of the busiest freight corridors in the country. Tractor-trailers barreling through the Turnpike, I-78, and I-280 can cause catastrophic injuries when drivers are fatigued, companies cut corners, or trucks are poorly maintained.
Truck cases are different from car crashes: there are federal trucking regulations, multiple potentially liable parties — the driver, the carrier, the cargo loader, the maintenance company — and aggressive insurers who move fast. We move faster, preserving the black-box data and logbooks before they disappear.
Heavy traffic on I-280 and I-78 and the busy streets of Newark means truck accidents here are common — and rarely simple. We know how local crashes happen and how to prove who was at fault.
Because we only get paid when you do, our interests are aligned with yours from day one of your Newark claim.

Federal + New Jersey rules

Multiple defendants
The driver, carrier, broker, and loader may all share liability — and insurance. We pursue every one of them.
