Car Accidents in New Jersey
Every year, thousands of people are hurt in car accidents across New Jersey.

Busy local routes and highways alike see daily collisions that can leave victims facing lengthy recoveries and unexpected hardships.
Understanding what you may encounter after an accident is important. Here are some common injuries victims can sustain in crashes:
-
Whiplash and Neck Injuries: Sudden stops or rear-end collisions can cause painful soft tissue injuries. While some heal with time, others may require extensive physical therapy to regain full motion.
-
Back Injuries: Herniated discs and spinal cord trauma can occur, sometimes leading to long-term discomfort or mobility issues. Immediate medical care is essential to prevent further damage.
-
Broken Bones: The force of a collision can break arms, legs, or ribs. Depending on severity, victims may need surgery, casting, and significant rehabilitation.
-
Head and Brain Injuries: Even with airbags, concussions and traumatic brain injuries can happen. Symptoms might not appear right away, so monitoring for headaches, confusion, or dizziness is key.
-
Psychological Trauma: Many overlook the mental impact of a crash. Anxiety, PTSD, or fear of driving can deeply affect daily life, requiring counseling or other support.
