Frequently Asked Questions About Car Accidents
Your car accident may have led to serious losses. You can have any questions you may have answered by one of our attorneys, including these:
How long after a car accident can I file a lawsuit in New Jersey?
In New Jersey, you have just two years from the date of the accident to file a claim for your damages, both to your person and your property. Failing to meet this statute of limitation will likely lead to the loss of all compensation, with few exceptions. In general, however, it is better to initiate your claim as soon as practical. That makes it easier to collect the evidence needed to support your claim.
What damages might I expect to receive for my car accident injury case?
If your car accident case is successful, you may be able to recover compensation to cover several different financial losses. These damages may include:
- Medical damages, such as hospital bills, surgery costs, medication and medical equipment
- Property damages, such as vehicle repair bills and personal items
- Lost wages, such as income lost during your recovery period
- Pain and suffering, such as mental anguish and other emotional distress
You need an attorney to help you review your financial losses and represent you in court for the best outcome – otherwise, you may easily undervalue your claim.
Can I receive compensation after a car accident claim even if I have a pre-existing condition?
Yes – you can still recover compensation if your pre-existing condition is aggravated or exacerbated as a result of an accident. However, you can generally expect the insurer involved to try to blame your condition on anything but the accident.
Do I still have a case if I was partly at fault in causing the car accident?
Yes, so long as your share of the fault is not greater than the other party (or the fault of all other parties combined), you still have a right to compensation for your losses. However, the compensation you receive will be reduced accordingly.
How can a car accident lawyer help me after a car crash in New Jersey?
A New Jersey car accident lawyer can help you recover maximum compensation for losses by gathering evidence that supports your claim, setting the value on your losses and preventing the insurance company from unfairly shifting blame your way. If negotiations fail, they can also represent you in court and advocate for a fair outcome.
