New Jersey Accident Frequently Asked Questions
You probably have a lot of questions about how to successfully get compensated for your injuries. Here are answers to some frequently asked questions to get you started.
What is the statute of limitations for personal injury claims in New Jersey?
In New Jersey, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is generally two years from the date of the injury. If you do not file your claim within that time frame, your claim will likely be barred forever. It is vital to file your claim within this period to preserve your right to seek compensation.
What should you do after being injured in an accident?
After an accident, seek medical attention immediately by calling 911. Unless you need emergency care, take photographs to document the scene, gather witness information and stay at the accident scene until the police arrive. Contact our firm as soon as possible to discuss your case and protect your rights.
What kinds of financial recovery are available in personal injury claims?
You may be eligible to recover compensation for your medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages related to your injury. Our attorneys will work diligently to maximize your financial recovery.
Can I recover compensation if I was partially at fault for the accident in New Jersey?
Yes, New Jersey follows the comparative negligence rule. You can recover compensation even if you were partially at fault, as long as you are not more than 50% responsible for the accident. Your compensation will be reduced by the percentage of your fault. Thus, even if you suspect you contributed to your injuries, it is often still worth pursuing a claim.
