Each year, thousands of drivers are involved in crashes on New Jersey’s busy parkways and interstates. With routes like the Garden State Parkway carrying heavy commuter traffic daily, accidents are unfortunately common. According to recent reports, New Jersey sees hundreds of fatalities and thousands of injuries each year due to motor vehicle collisions. Staying aware of changing road conditions, following speed limits, and avoiding distractions are essential for everyone on the road.

- Back and Neck Injuries: Herniated discs, pinched nerves, or whiplash are common injuries that can have long-lasting impacts on mobility and quality of life.
- Broken Bones: Collisions can cause fractures in the arms, legs, ribs, or pelvis, often requiring surgery and physical therapy to heal properly.
