Car Accidents in New Jersey
In New Jersey, car crashes are a leading cause of injury and traffic disruption. Every year, tens of thousands of crashes result in injuries or fatalities statewide.

Many crash victims suffer long-term consequences. Below are some types of injuries that are commonly linked to early-morning or late-night crashes:
- Back and Spine Injuries: Crashes at night, especially at higher speeds, can result in severe impact forces. Victims may suffer from herniated discs, fractured vertebrae, or spinal cord trauma. These injuries often require extended rehabilitation and can lead to permanent disability in some cases.
- Neck Injuries: Whiplash is particularly common in rear-end or sudden-stop collisions. Symptoms may include neck pain, stiffness, and headaches. In some cases, these effects can linger for weeks or months, especially without early treatment.
- Facial Injuries: When airbags deploy or when a victim strikes the steering wheel or window, facial lacerations and fractures can occur. Treatment may include surgery, and in some cases, long-term cosmetic procedures.
- Chest and Rib Injuries: Seatbelt pressure or airbag impact can cause bruised or broken ribs, especially in higher-speed incidents. These injuries are painful and can make breathing or movement difficult during recovery.
- Psychological Injuries: Car crashes—especially those occurring suddenly in the dead of night—can lead to emotional trauma. Victims may develop sleep issues, anxiety, or even PTSD after experiencing a traumatic accident.
