Were you recently injured in an auto accident and need a car accident lawyer?

Car accidents are the most common cause of personal injury claims and lawsuits across the United States. Due to the dense population especially in northern New Jersey, chances are you are likely to be involved in an auto accident at some point in your life. Most of the time, car accidents are minor and do not cause injuries. However, oftentimes auto accidents result in significant personal injuries requiring ER visits, hospitalization, medical diagnosis and treatment, surgery, rehabilitation and physical therapy. These injuries may be life altering and cause significant disability, pain and suffering and result in lost wages, medical bills and financial hardship. 

In 2018, there were over 6 million motor vehicle accidents with many of them resulting in an injury or death and more than 2.35 million people requiring medical attention. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has stated that motor vehicle accidents are the leading cause of death for those between the ages of 3 to 34.

When a car accident results in bodily injury to the driver or passengers, many legal issues and questions tend to arise. Some of these include:

• Who pays my medical bills?
• How do I get compensated for my lost wages?
• Should I give the other driver’s insurance carrier a recorded statement?
• Can a claim be made against the responsible driver for my pain and suffering and disability and impairment?
• How much time do I have to make a claim?
• What is meant by a “verbal threshold” or “limitation on lawsuit”?

These questions represent a few of the concerns frequently presented by clients who contact our office.

Being involved in a motor vehicle accident is an extremely stressful event especially when you are injured as a result of the crash.
