New Jersey Auto Accidents

With approximately 6.5 million car crashes happening per year in the United States, there is a significant chance that each of us will eventually become involved in one. Injuries suffered in car crashes can range from minor to severe and may even be life-threatening or result in fatalities. If you or someone you love has been involved in a car or truck crash in New Jersey, no matter how minor, make sure to stay at the crash scene and document everything you can by taking photos or videos.

Obtain contact info from other drivers, their license numbers and insurance information, as well as their license plate numbers, and, if possible, take photos of the crash scene and surrounding areas. Seek proper medical care as soon as possible, and document the care you receive. Maintaining good records of the accident and its consequences can help your attorney secure full and fair financial compensation for you in the aftermath of your accident.
