Compensation After a Vehicle Accident in New Jersey
Being involved in a vehicle accident
in New Jersey can leave you facing not only physical injuries but also financial stress. State law allows injured drivers, passengers, and pedestrians to pursue compensation for their losses. Still, the amount and type of recovery depend on several factors, including the severity of the injuries, the insurance policies involved, and whether another driver’s negligence caused the crash.
In New Jersey, compensation may cover:
- Medical expenses: hospital bills, rehabilitation, physical therapy, prescriptions, and ongoing care.
- Lost wages: income missed while recovering, as well as reduced earning ability if injuries affect future employment.
- Property damage: repair or replacement of your vehicle and personal items damaged in the collision.
- Pain and suffering: compensation for physical pain, emotional distress, and the overall impact of the accident on daily life.
- Wrongful death damages: if a loved one was killed in a crash, families may seek funeral expenses and loss of financial and emotional support.
Because New Jersey is a “no-fault” insurance state, your own Personal Injury Protection coverage generally pays for medical treatment, regardless of who caused the accident. However, in serious cases, you may be able to step outside the no-fault system and file a claim against the at-fault driver to pursue additional damages.
Understanding what compensation is available and how to access it can make an essential difference in your recovery. Speaking with a New Jersey car accident lawyer can help clarify your options and protect your rights.
