New Jersey Speeding and Tailgating Attorney

Truck Driver Errors: Speeding and Tailgating

Most drivers have had the experience of seeing a semi come up behind them in the rear view mirror. Many have seen trucks pass them at very high and illegal speeds. Speeding and tailgating can cause serious and even fatal accidents. At the law firm of Brady Reilly & Cardoso (BRC), in Kearny, New Jersey, our trial lawyers represent people who have been seriously injured in accidents caused by trucks that were going too fast or following too closely. We have successfully obtained damages and compensation for their injuries and expenses.

Your Decisions, Our Experience
Call (201) 997-0030

When we visit with truck accident victims, we provide them with information about their options, their rights and the legal process. They learn about possible limits on the time available to file claims. We ensure they are well-informed so they can make decisions about their cases.

Catastrophic Injuries? We Can Help

The injuries caused by truck accidents, particularly those arising from a speeding semi-trailer weighing more than 90,000 pounds, can be catastrophic or fatal. When a truck accident is the result of tailgating, the chances of a multi-vehicle crash and serious injuries increase. We have helped people who have suffered brain injuries, quadriplegia or the wrongful death of loved ones as a result of tailgating and speeding accidents.

What We Do

Our law firm investigates the crash. We obtain records, especially driver’s logs. If a truck is behind schedule, the driver has a greater incentive to speed or tailgate. Whether or not this was a factor in the truck accident can be determined by a careful review of the driver’s log.

We also request medical records and law enforcement accident report records, and determine whether there were any witnesses to the speeding or tailgating truck and the subsequent crash. We prepare every case for trial. If we cannot negotiate a satisfactory settlement with the trucking company’s insurance carrier, we will go to trial — and we will be ready. Our attorneys are trial lawyers and have many years of collective experience in the courtroom.

Highly Recommend Matthew R. Romo, Jr., Esq. I had a truly outstanding experience working with Matthew R. Romo, Jr. He was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly responsive throughout the entire process. What impressed me most was his ability to explain complex legal matters in a way that was easy to understand, making me feel confident and informed every step of the way. Matthew genuinely cared about my case and always made time to answer my questions, no matter how small. His attention to detail and commitment to achieving the best possible outcome truly set him apart.

If you ever find yourself in the unfortunate situation of being injured in a car accident, look no further! Forget all those big billboard lawyers and call this firm immediately. Diane Cordoso handled 2 cases for me... I had the bad luck of being hit more than once in a short period of time.... Diane, Maria, her assistant, and the entire team are compassionate, professional, and are perfect examples of what you need in these situations. They communicate every step of the way and are always on the ball. I sincerely hope to never have to use their services again lol... I've had enough careless drivers hit and injure me thanks... BUT God forbid I'm ever in that horrible situation again, I know who to call. If your attorney isn't getting the job done, call this firm! TODAY!

Great service provided from day 1. I would recommend to all friends and family.

hey hi, it's Keidaï

Really appreciated the thoughtful, proactive, kind, efficient, and respectful interaction during a time of tragedy and shock that I had never experienced before. I called and asked some questions about how they do business, after researching a bit online on what to ask a personal injury lawyer and find a good fit – I strongly advise anyone to do the same and not make a rushed decision. I highly recommend working with the team. I'm very glad I went them in the end – thank you for your help and for standing up for me when I wasn't able to. PS Diane is awesome (:

Not one time was I ever disappointed in the process. The outcome exceeded my expectations. Kathleen and her team are amazing.
