Imagine you are driving down Deal Road or heading through the heart of Ocean Township. Everything is fine until a car suddenly pulls out or blows through a light.

Common Injuries From Car Crashes in New Jersey

A crash can do a lot of damage to the human body. Some injuries are clear the moment the hit happens. Others hide for a few days before the real pain starts. We help people experiencing all kinds of physical trauma. Many of our clients deal with:

• Whiplash and severe neck strain from the sudden jerk of the hit.
• Broken bones in the ribs, arms, or legs that take months to heal.
• Traumatic brain injuries that cause memory loss or constant headaches.
• Spinal cord damage that makes it hard to walk or move.
• Deep cuts and permanent scars that need plastic surgery.
• Internal bleeding that requires an emergency hospital stay.

These injuries stop you from living your life. You might miss out on sports, time with your kids, or your favorite hobbies. We make sure the person who caused the crash knows exactly how much they have taken from you.

What Compensation Can You Recover After an Accident?

The costs of a crash add up faster than most people expect. It is not just about fixing your bumper. It is about your whole future. We look at every way the crash has hurt your bank account and your happiness.

We push for money to cover:

• Every doctor visit and hospital bill you have received.
• Future surgeries or physical therapy you will need later.
• Lost wages for the days or weeks you could not go to work.
• The physical pain you feel every morning when you wake up.
• Emotional stress and fear that makes it hard to get back in a car.

In some personal injury cases, the other driver did something really bad, like driving while drunk. In those times, we may ask for punitive damages. This is extra money meant to punish the other driver for their reckless behavior. We want to make sure you get a fair settlement that actually pays for your needs.

Most Common Causes of Ocean Township Accidents

Most car accidents happen because someone made a bad choice. We see the same problems over and over on our local roads. Distracted driving is a huge issue. People look at their phones instead of the traffic in front of them. This leads to rear-end hits that cause serious neck injuries. Other common causes include:

• Speeding through residential areas or school zones.
• Running red lights or failing to stop at stop signs.
• Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
• Reckless driving during heavy rain or snow.
• Tailgating because someone is in a rush.

No matter why the crash happened, we investigate the scene. We look at tire marks, talk to witnesses, and check for camera footage. We want to find the responsible parties and hold them accountable for what they did.

Steps to Take After an Ocean Township Car Accident

The minutes after a crash are scary, but what you do matters. First, check for injuries. If anyone is hurt, call 911 right away. You should always call the police even if the crash seems small. Their report is the official record of what took place.

If you can, take pictures of both cars and the road. Do not apologize to the other driver. Even saying “I am sorry” can be used against you later to say the crash was your fault. See a doctor as soon as you leave the scene. This creates a paper trail of your injuries. Finally, do not sign anything from an insurance company until you talk to us. They often try to offer a small amount of money early on before you know how bad your injuries really are.

Time Limits for Your Car Accident Lawsuit

New Jersey has a ticking clock for every accident case. This is called the statute of limitations. For most car accidents, you only have two years from the day of the crash to file a case in court. If you miss this date, you lose your right to ask for money forever.

Two years might sound like plenty of time, but evidence disappears quickly. Witnesses move away or forget what they saw. Video footage from nearby stores often gets deleted after a few days. Starting your case early gives us the best chance to build a strong argument. If a government vehicle was involved, the rules are even tighter. You might only have 90 days to give notice. That is why you should call an attorney as soon as you can.
