Car Accidents Compensation in New Jersey
Motor vehicle accidents in New Jersey
can lead to serious injuries and significant financial hardship. Victims may experience fractures, head or spinal injuries, internal trauma, or emotional distress following a crash. Even a seemingly minor collision can result in lasting pain, costly medical care, and time away from work.
Under New Jersey’s no-fault insurance laws, drivers and passengers typically receive medical coverage through their Personal Injury Protection benefits, regardless of who was at fault. However, when injuries are severe or permanent, victims may have the right to pursue additional compensation through a personal injury claim against the responsible driver.
Recoverable damages may include:
- Medical expenses: After a serious accident, medical bills can accumulate quickly. Compensation may cover emergency response, hospital stays, surgical procedures, rehabilitation, and prescription medications. Many victims also require physical therapy or ongoing care for long-term injuries. These costs can place a major burden on victims and their families, making full compensation for both current and future medical expenses essential for recovery.
- Lost wages and reduced earning capacity: When injuries prevent victims from working, either temporarily or permanently, they may lose significant income. Compensation for lost wages helps replace earnings missed during the recovery period. In more severe cases, victims may experience reduced earning capacity, meaning they can no longer perform the same work or must switch to a lower-paying position.
- Pain and suffering: Beyond physical harm, victims often endure emotional distress, anxiety, and lasting pain following a serious crash. Compensation for pain and suffering acknowledges these non-economic damages, including the loss of enjoyment of daily activities and reduced quality of life. These damages can be just as significant as financial losses and play a key role in helping victims rebuild emotionally and mentally.
- Vehicle and property damage: Collisions often result in extensive damage to vehicles and personal belongings. Victims may be entitled to reimbursement for repair or replacement costs, towing fees, and rental vehicles while their car is out of service. This compensation ensures that victims can restore their property and return to normal life as soon as possible.
Determining fault and liability often requires reviewing police reports, traffic camera footage, and witness statements. An experienced car accident lawyer can guide victims through the claims process, negotiate with insurance companies, and help secure the full compensation they deserve.
