Car Accidents in New Jersey
With heavy commuter traffic and densely packed urban roadways, New Jersey experiences a high number of vehicle collisions each year. In 2023 alone, there were over 270,000 reported crashes statewide. Urban hubs like Newark often see frequent incidents during peak travel hours. New Jersey State agencies continue to invest in safety measures, but accidents still occur daily.
Being involved in a crash can lead to a wide range of disruptions and concerns. Here are several things drivers often encounter after an accident:
- Morning Rush Hour Collisions: Accidents during the morning commute are common and can create ripple effects for surrounding traffic. These incidents often involve rear-end collisions due to congestion or sudden stops.
- Limited Visibility and Road Conditions: Early morning lighting, sun glare, or wet roadways can contribute to collisions. Even experienced drivers can find it challenging to react quickly in unpredictable conditions.
- Emergency Response Delays: Heavier traffic during the morning rush can delay the arrival of emergency crews, potentially complicating injury care or scene management.
- Commuter Disruptions: For those involved in the crash, getting to work or school becomes a secondary concern as they deal with injuries, police reports, and potential vehicle damage.
- Increased Insurance Claims: With more vehicles on the road during peak hours, insurers often see higher claim volumes after morning crashes. It’s important to gather evidence and file reports early to avoid delays or disputes.
