New Jersey Attorneys:
Garbage Truck Accidents
Waste removal companies and sanitation trucks - dump trucks, tippers, covered tractor trailers, and tank trucks - travel the streets and highways of New Jersey day and night, removing trash, hazardous waste, and recyclables. For the most part, they perform their public service functions responsibly. When the truck driver, the sanitation company, the company responsible for maintenance on the garbage truck, or the company the hauler is working for is negligent, however, it puts the public at risk.
Garbage truck accidents, waste spills
When a garbage truck backs up and the required reverse horn fails to sound, a pedestrian may be crushed or the truck will run into an auto. Sanitation workers are at risk of being hit by passing cars. A slippery spill on the highway may cause a multi-vehicle crash. Falling debris can cause a driver on the highway to swerve. When a sanitation company fails to observe New Jersey and federal highway safety and environmental safety regulations it puts individuals at risk.
In a recent case involving a waste spill from an overturned tractor-trailer in Princeton, the New Jersey State Police and township police joined with the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection in holding the trucking company and the truck driver responsible.
