Monmouth County Car Accident Lawyer
We handle all types of vehicle accident claims in Monmouth County and throughout New Jersey. Whether you’re dealing with a car crash, truck accident, motorcycle wreck, or were hit as a pedestrian or cyclist, our law firm is here to help. We know how stressful the days after a crash can be. Between pain, medical bills, and missing work, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed.
Vehicle accidents are one of the most common ways people get injured in New Jersey. Every year, thousands of crashes cause injuries, property damage, and even death. We fight to get our clients the compensation they deserve, whether that means taking on a large insurance company or bringing a claim to court.
Common Types of Motor Vehicle Accidents
Accidents can happen in many different ways. Some of the most common cases we see include:
- Car accidents
- Truck and commercial vehicle crashes
- Motorcycle accidents
- Pedestrian and bicycle accidents
- Rear-end collisions
- Highway accidents
- Drunk driving and drug-related crashes
- Distracted driving accidents (including texting while driving)
- Uber, Lyft, and rideshare accidents
- Bus accidents and public transportation injuries
Each accident is different, but many are caused by the same problems: drivers speeding, looking at their phones, driving under the influence, or simply not paying attention.
What to Do After a Car Accident
After an accident, your safety and health come first. If you’re hurt, get medical help right away. Try to take photos of the crash, get names of any witnesses, and exchange information with the other driver. Then, talk to a lawyer. You may be entitled to money for your injuries, even if you share some blame for what happened.
We can help you understand what your case is worth and explain your options. You may be able to recover compensation for:
- Emergency room visits and follow-up care
- Surgery, therapy, and other medical expenses
- Pain and suffering
- Lost income and reduced ability to work
- Property damage
- Wrongful death damages (for fatal crashes)
How Car Accident Claims Work in New Jersey
New Jersey uses a no-fault insurance system. That means your own insurance may cover your medical bills through Personal Injury Protection (PIP), even if the crash wasn’t your fault. But there are limits, and serious injuries may allow you to file a claim against the other driver.
We understand the rules about no-fault, shared fault, and the two-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims in New Jersey. We also know how to build strong cases under the state’s modified comparative negligence law. That law lets you recover damages as long as you were not more than 50% responsible for the accident.
