Car Accidents in New Jersey
Across New Jersey, car crashes occur daily—from quiet suburban intersections to heavily traveled highways like Route 3. In 2022, the state reported over 278,000 motor vehicle crashes. Of those, more than 42,000 resulted in injury. If you’ve been affected by a crash, understanding your rights and resources is key.
Knowing what steps to take after a crash can help protect your well-being and recovery. Here are some vital points about handling insurance claims after an accident:
-
Notify Your Insurance Provider Promptly: Most companies require timely notification of any incident. Failing to report in a reasonable time may affect your ability to file a claim.
-
Gather Detailed Documentation: Photos of the scene, your vehicle, injuries, and witness statements can strengthen your case significantly.
-
Watch What You Say: Avoid admitting fault or giving detailed statements to other parties’ insurance adjusters. These can be used to minimize your claim.
-
Understand Your Coverage: Know what your policy includes—such as PIP (Personal Injury Protection), which covers medical expenses, or UM/UIM (uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage).
-
Get a Repair Estimate: Before allowing repairs, obtain at least one independent estimate. Insurance providers may offer lower-cost options that don’t fully restore your vehicle.
If you’ve been hurt in a collision, it’s important to speak with a trusted car accident attorney who can advocate for your rights. Time is critical—gathering evidence, speaking to witnesses, and handling insurers should start right away. An attorney can protect you from lowball offers and make sure the full extent of your injuries and losses are taken into account.
