The Impact of Motor Vehicle Accidents

Since the introduction of automobiles, motor vehicle accidents have consistently been a major cause of injury and death. Although advancements in safety technology—such as airbags, reinforced frames, rollover protection, and enhanced tires—have made vehicles safer, accidents still occur regularly, affecting numerous lives each year.

Even when an accident does not lead to fatalities, the consequences can still be severe. The physical and emotional effects of a crash can be enduring, leaving victims with long-term challenges as they work through their recovery.

Damages and Financial Relief After an Accident

The aftermath of a motor vehicle accident can result in a range of financial burdens for victims. These expenses can pile up quickly, mainly if the accident has caused significant injury or damage. You shouldn't be burdened with these costs if you weren’t at fault for the crash. New Jersey personal injury law offers a way to seek compensation for the damages caused by another party’s negligence. Common types of damages that may be awarded in a motor vehicle accident case include:

  • Medical Expenses: Bills for emergency care, hospital stays, surgeries, physical therapy, and ongoing medical treatment.
  • Lost Wages: Compensation for the income you lost as a result of being unable to work while recovering from your injuries.
  • Vehicle and Property Repair: Coverage for the cost of repairing or replacing your vehicle and any other property damaged in the accident.
  • Physical and Emotional Distress: Financial compensation for the pain, suffering, and emotional hardship caused by the accident and resulting injuries.
  • Loss of Quality of Life: Compensation for the lasting impact on your lifestyle, including limitations on daily activities and diminished enjoyment of life.
  • Future Medical Costs: Coverage for ongoing medical care is needed due to the accident-related injuries.

Our New Jersey motor vehicle accident lawyer is here to guide you through the intricate legal process, ensuring you receive the full compensation you deserve to cover these costs and safeguard your financial stability.  

Navigating the Legal Process After a Motor Vehicle Accident

Every case is different, so it’s impossible to predict exactly how your case will unfold. But if you’ve suffered damages due to someone’s negligence, you are entitled to economic relief. Working with a competent, compassionate lawyer can make all the difference as you move through the litigation process — we take the stress away. We will help you identify the at-fault parties, make a legal demand for compensation, file a comprehensive and highly effective complaint, negotiate settlements, and try complex cases in court. Our legal team will help shoulder your burden, using our experience to advance your case. Don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions about the litigation process for motor vehicle accidents.

Filing Deadlines for Motor Vehicle Accident Claims in New Jersey

In New Jersey, you typically have two years from your motor vehicle accident date to file a personal injury lawsuit. Failure to meet this deadline may cause you to lose your right to pursue compensation. Taking swift action after an accident is essential to protect your right to the compensation you are entitled to.

However, there are situations where the time limit may be different. The filing period may be shorter if the accident involves a government entity. In cases where the injured person is a minor or unable to act due to certain conditions, the time limit might be extended. To ensure your claim is filed accurately and within the required timeframe, it’s essential to consult with an experienced attorney as soon as possible after the incident.
