Tractor-trailers play an important role in Bergen County, bringing food, clothing and other life-sustaining supplies. The New Jersey State Police reported that 30 fatal crashes involved tractor-trailers in 2011. It is the responsibility of truck drivers to stay focused on what they are doing, but a number of recent truck accidents has raised concern that too many of these big rig operators are allowing themselves to get distracted.
After suffering a dog attack, victims in New Jersey do have legal recourse to hold the animal's owner responsible. Earlier this year, New York Yankees pitcher CC Sabathia had an electrician at his New Jersey home. According to the New York Daily News, the electrician needed to get seven sutures in his leg after one of Sabathia’s dogs bit him. The incident left the man out of work for three weeks, and he still suffers from a permanent numbness in his now-scarred leg. A dog bite can cause serious and even lifelong issues. People in New Jersey who suffer a dog attack should know what the laws are as well as their opportunities for taking legal action.
