New Jersey Auto Accidents
Car accidents can result in severe or even fatal injuries for people involved in them. Some common injuries that often happen in car wrecks include severe whiplash, broken bones, spinal cord injuries, and brain injuries. These types of injuries can have lasting effects on victims and their family members, and may even affect an individual for the rest of their life. Sadly, some people may never fully recover from their injuries and suffer from debilitating consequences that keep them from living their life the way they once did before their wreck.
Unfortunately, the majority of car crashes in the state of New Jersey and throughout the United States happen due to the actions of drivers who choose to operate their vehicles in a careless, reckless, or negligent manner. You or someone you love may have been severely affected by the negligence of another person who chose to drive while distracted, intoxicated, fatigued, or while traveling at an unsafe speed that was either too fast or too slow.
