We have a 60 year track record of litigating truck accident cases and recovering millions of dollars for New Yorkers, just like you.

Collisions with commercial trucks often lead to catastrophic injuries or wrongful death — especially when caused by driver error, unsafe equipment, or poor vehicle maintenance. We help people who’ve been seriously hurt — or lost someone they love — in crashes involving commercial trucks in New York City, Brooklyn, Queens, and throughout Long Island.

If a truck hit you — whether it was an 18-wheeler, box truck, sanitation vehicle, delivery van, or even a construction truck — and the crash wasn’t your fault, we’re here to help you make it right.

⚠️ Time Is Limited. Don’t Wait to File Your Claim. ⚠️

Some truck accidents involve city or state contractors, requiring a notice of claim within 90 days. Don’t delay. Evidence like black box data and dashcam footage may be lost quickly.

If you’re hurting and unsure what comes next, let’s talk. We’ll listen, guide you, and move quickly to protect your rights.

Don't Just Take Our Word For It, Read Our Client Reviews.

I worked with the team at Pazer for the last two years, specifically Mike Jaffe. The process was painless on my end. The team kept me up to date on the process, and ensured I was able to get the proper level of care. I highly recommend them.

Steven Cruz

My experience with Mr. Jaffe and Mr. Fein was amazing. They took my Construction case and got me a maximum recovery to protect my future. I would personally recommend them to anyone who needs a lawyer. Not just good lawyers, but a great firm to represent you. Thank you guys so much.

Ainsworth Robinson

This firm took my difficult construction case and got me a lot of money to compensate me for my injuries. Eugene Gozenput took my case to trial and won. Very happy with outcome.

What Causes Most Truck Accidents in New York?

Whether you’re recovering from serious injuries or grieving the loss of a loved one, understanding what caused the crash is a key part of holding the right people accountable.

Many of the truck crashes we investigate stem from negligence — either on the part of the driver, the company, or poor maintenance. Common causes include:

Truck driver fatigue or falling asleep at the wheel

Speeding or reckless driving

Wide turn accidents

Distracted or impaired driving

Speeding or reckless driving by others

Failure to yield or stop

Poorly secured cargo or overloaded trucks

Brake failure or other mechanical issues

Improper truck maintenance

Blind spot (no-zone) collisions

Inexperienced or improperly trained drivers

Unsafe construction site hauling or equipment transport

We launch full investigations into truck company records, maintenance logs, black box data, and driver history to hold all responsible parties accountable.

Truck Accidents In New York & Long Island

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What should I do after being hit by a truck?

    Call 911, get medical help immediately, report the crash to police, take photos if you’re able, and contact an experienced truck accident lawyer before speaking with any insurance companies.

  • Can I sue the trucking company or just the driver?

    Often, both. Trucking companies can be held responsible for negligent hiring, training, or maintenance — and we pursue every liable party.

  • How long do I have to file a claim after a truck accident?

    In New York, most injury claims must be filed within 3 years — but some cases involving government vehicles or contractors have just 90 days.

  • What if the truck driver was an independent contractor?

    You may still be able to pursue compensation from the trucking company, their insurer, or another liable party depending on the facts of your case.

  • Can I file a claim if I lost a loved one in a truck accident?

    Yes. We help families file wrongful death claims when someone is killed in a commercial truck crash caused by negligence.

  • What types of compensation can I recover?

    Medical expenses, lost wages, future care needs, pain and suffering, property damage, and — in fatal crashes — wrongful death damages.

  • How much does it cost to hire your firm?

    We charge nothing upfront. You only pay us if we recover money for you.

  • Will my case go to court?

    Many truck accident cases settle, but we prepare every case as if it will go to trial. That’s how we maximize leverage.

  • What makes truck accident claims different from regular car accidents?

    They involve more severe injuries, more complex liability, and more aggressive defense teams. You need a lawyer who knows how to handle these high-stakes cases.
