Collisions involving large commercial vehicles like tractor-trailers are a serious concern on highways such as I-80 in New Jersey. These accidents often result in severe injuries due to the size and weight disparity between passenger vehicles and trucks. Hit-and-run incidents, where one party leaves the scene, add complexity to investigations and often delay victims’ access to justice.
