Can I File a Personal Injury Claim After a New Jersey Car Accident?
A personal injury case is a civil legal action that is brought by one person against another person who has caused some accident or injury. Car accidents commonly lead to personal injury cases when thoughtless drivers cause crashes related to:
Speeding.
Failure to yield.
Improper passing.
Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
Distracted driving.
Failure to respond to road conditions or weather.
When these and other situations arise and cause serious injury, victims have a legal right to file a claim against the responsible party. In New Jersey, the state follows the rules of comparative negligence. This means that injury victims have a right to file a claim and recover compensation as long as the other driver was more than 50 percent at fault. It is true that responsible drivers will likely try to shift some of the blame onto the victim, but it is possible to file a successful claim even if you share a small portion of the blame for the crash.
Slip & Fall
The responsibility of premises owners or lessees have towards anyone who enters their property is known as Premises Liability. Property owners who are negligent or who have created an unsafe condition can be held liable for injuries caused from the condition. What is key to bringing a successful case is being able to identity the condition being able to demonstrate that the property owner knew or should have known that the condition existed and that they breached their duty of care in either warning the public of the condition or failure to inspect and maintain the property.
New Jersey Accident Victims Are Entitled to Compensation for Injuries and More
When another driver fails to live up to his responsibility to behave safely on the road, he can cause costly injuries to others-physically, emotionally, and financially. Injury victims in New Jersey have rights to compensation for:
Medical Bills. All medical bills related to the accident can be covered, including hospital stays, surgery, medication, rehabilitation, follow-up visits, and more.
Lost Wages. Accident victims are frequently forced to miss work due to their injuries, and they may miss out on vital income. This compensation helps them remain financially stable.
Future Lost Wages and Medical Bills. This compensation is particularly important for those who suffer a serious injury that may continue to require care and time off work for some time. It can be difficult to calculate, but an experienced attorney can help determine and fight for what is fair.
Pain and Suffering. Many states limit how much accident victims can be awarded for the non-economic damages (physical pain, anxiety, depression, loss of sleep, etc.) they suffer in an accident. New Jersey, however, does not set any limits in this area.
Punitive Damages. This compensation is much rarer and is meant to act as a punishment when a person acts particularly negligently. There is a limit to the amount of punitive damages that can be awarded in New Jersey.
Every case is unique, and the facts of your case will determine the types of compensation that can be recovered. An experienced attorney can help you understand your rights and pursue the maximum amount of compensation, so you can move forward from this difficult time with confidence.
