New England Motor Freight Truck Accident Attorney
As one of the nation’s largest LTL (less than truckload carriers), New England Motor Freight, Inc. delivers primarily in the Northeast, United States, and into the Midwest and Puerto Rico. Myron Shevell purchased the Elizabeth New Jersey-based company in 1977 from Farmland Dairies. In the years since its initial launch, New England Motor Freight abbreviated its name to NEMF.
In 2018, New England Motor Freight generated an annual gross revenue of $345 million. The company’s 1584 drivers operate 1424 semi-tractor trailers. New England Motor Freight does not transport hazardous materials. In February 2019, the company voluntarily filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy for financial relief and “intends to use the proceedings to facilitate an orderly wind-down of its operations.” The company’s leadership cited a shortage of drivers and rising overhead costs as the cause for disruptive business.
The company provides LTL services, International services, warehousing, truckload deliveries, and logistics.
New England Motor Freight is primarily a Truckload (LT) carrier, meaning the company delivers one truckload containing similar products, goods, and materials to multiple locations. This type of trucking is opposite an LTL (less than truckload) carrier with a mixed freight.
New England Motor Freight Accidents
Reports from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety reveal that the majority of fatalities involving large commercial vehicle crashes occur because of a collision with a passenger vehicle. Surprisingly, most truck accidents happen on dry roads with no adverse weather conditions.
Like all major trucking companies in the United States, New England Motor Freight must meet on-time demands by their customers to ensure the deliveries arrived on schedule. This increased demand places height restrictions on truckers who are already working long hours to fulfill their job requirements. This added stress places the trucker, other motorists, passengers, pedestrians, and others at considerable risk of injury or wrongful death.

Compensation Claim for Truck Accidents with Injury or Wrongful Death
Any individual injured in a collision with a semi-tractor-trailer, cargo van, a commercial vehicle can seek financial compensation through a lawsuit or claim against any responsible party at fault for the crash. Successfully resolving your case requires abiding by Texas tort laws when filing a claim with the insurance company or presenting a case in front of a judge and jury. The rules involving compensation cases are complex. In nearly every circumstance, the injured victim can file a lawsuit or submit a claim for compensation against every responsible party to ensure they can negotiate their case out of court or litigate evidence in front of a judge.

Common Causes of Commercial Vehicle Crashes
According to the NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration), many accidents in the United States, including large commercial trucks involve:
- Aggressive Behavior – Any aggressive behavior by a motorist involved in a collision could kill, injure, or maim innocent victims, including passengers and other drivers.
- Driving under the Influence – If the truckers involved in an accident, law enforcement will often perform a test at the accident scene to determine if the truck driver consumed alcohol or took illegal drugs.
- Distracted Driving – There are many distractions inside a commercial vehicle, including quick access to a mobile device, changing the radio station, or looking at a GPS device.
- Drowsy Driving – Truckers often work long hours under grueling conditions and erratic scheduling. A failure to get enough sleep before getting behind the wheel could cause catastrophic results.
- Improper Loading – The truck driver might cause a catastrophic accident if the loading crew improperly secures the load or fails or fails to distribute the cargo evenly, leading to a shifting load, a loss of cargo, or a rollover.
- Truck Driver Inexperience – An inexperienced driver who received inadequate training can be dangerous behind the wheel of a large semi-tractor-trailer traveling on America’s interstates. Every new driver must meet nominal criteria, including minimal training before obtaining their professional trucker’s license.
Sometimes, the commercial trucker is found to be responsible for causing an accident because of their erratic movements because they are tired, fatigued, or meeting the demands of the tight schedule. In these cases, judges and juries often find that the trucker and the trucking company is legally responsible for causing the crash and must pay all expenses and costs associated with the victim’s recovery or injuries.
