How Our Newark Injury Attorneys Can Assist After a New Jersey Car Accident

You may have dealt with an insurance claim involving a fender-bender or other minor accident on your own. But if you have been seriously injured in a car accident or your loved one has sustained serious injuries, then your health and financial future are at risk. You need the guidance of an experienced car accident attorney in Newark, N.J.

As New Jersey’s largest city, Newark has a lot of traffic congestion. Car accidents are common occurrences on Routes 21 (McCarter Highway), 22, 78, 280 and the Pulaski Skyway in Newark. Don’t make the mistake of thinking the at-fault driver’s insurance company will deal fairly with you because you have been seriously injured. Insurance companies make a profit by paying out as little as possible to resolve claims. Whatever the circumstances, insurance company lawyers will seek to protect the insurance company’s interests. You need a recommended car accident lawyer in Newark to stand up for your interests too. If you don’t have a strong lawyer fighting for you, the insurance company will try to take advantage of you.

When our personal injury attorneys in Newark handle your car accident claim, we will:

  • Review the specific circumstances of your injury and discuss your legal options, so that you have the full facts to make a well-founded decision about how to proceed.
  • Conduct a thorough investigation of the accident to identify all the parties that may be liable for your injuries.
  • Collect evidence to support your injury claim.
  • Estimate your losses and out-of-pocket costs related to the injury, including doctor and hospital bills and future medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, property damage and more.
  • Present a demand letter to the insurer requesting full compensation for your losses.
  • Manage negotiations with the insurance company.
  • Keep you informed of any settlement offers and offer our perspective on whether the offer is reasonable.
  • Protect your legal rights to file a personal injury lawsuit by keeping track of the applicable statute of limitations.
  •  Be prepared to take your car accident injury claim to Essex County court if the insurance company refuses to offer a reasonable settlement.

Steps to Take After a Car Accident in Newark, NJ

  • Seek emergency medical care if you are injured.
  • Notify the police and call an ambulance if needed. New Jersey law requires notification of police in an accident involving an injury, death or property damage.
  • Wait at the scene for Newark police, New Jersey State Police or another law enforcement agency to respond.
  • While waiting for police to arrive, take photos of the accident scene if you can do so safely. Document damage to the vehicles as well as your injuries and those of your passengers. Photos may provide helpful evidence to support your injury claim later.
  • Provide the police with as many facts about the crash as possible, but do not blame yourself or anyone else for the crash.
  • Ask the officer when the police accident report will be available and how you can obtain a copy.
  • When there is damage to a vehicle of more than $500 or there is a personal injury, you are required to send a written report to the N.J. Motor Vehicle Commission within 10 days if no police report is filed.
  • Contact your insurance company and report the accident.
  • If you did not require emergency treatment, visit a doctor promptly for a medical evaluation. Inform the doctor that you have been in a car accident. Some injuries are not immediately obvious. The doctor’s report describing your injuries may be helpful evidence if you need to file a claim.
  • Be informed about your legal options by talking with a knowledgeable car accident lawyer in Newark, N.J.
