Protecting the Rights of Injured Commercial Drivers

Truck drivers work long hours, cover extensive mileage, navigate unpredictable traffic, and manage heavy equipment—all of which create a high risk of injury. Collisions, loading accidents, repetitive strain, and workplace hazards can significantly impact a driver’s health and career.

Schibell Law represents New Jersey truck drivers injured while performing commercial driving duties, helping them secure medical treatment, wage replacement, and disability benefits under the state’s workers’ compensation system.

Truck drivers face hazards similar to other delivery and transportation workers, including lifting injuries, slip-and-falls, and repetitive strain from long driving hours.
