Causes of Car Accidents
Car accidents, as you may know, can occur for a wide variety of reasons, including dangerous road conditions, faulty car parts, and more. That being said, in most cases, they are a result of driver negligence. Some common examples of driver negligence are as follows:
- Texting while driving
- Driving while fatigued
- Failure to yield
- Driving while under the influence of drugs or alcohol
- Speeding
- Applying makeup or brushing hair while driving
- Unsafe merging or changing lanes
- Eating while driving
- Ignoring stop signs or traffic lights
Taking Action After a Car Accident
After sustaining an injury in a car accident, it’s paramount you do everything in your power to summon law enforcement to the scene and document the incident. After calling 911, you should try to take the following steps:
- Ask the other driver for their insurance information.
- Photograph or videotape any damage caused by the accident.
- Ask witnesses for their contact information.
- Inform paramedics of the injuries you’ve sustained and ensure you receive immediate medical treatment.
- Keep copies of the medical documentation associated with your injuries.
- Retain the services of a dedicated New Jersey car accident lawyer who can use this evidence and collect additional evidence to help you get the compensation you deserve.

- The cost of surgeries
- The cost of medication
- The cost of overnights in a hospital
- The cost of rehabilitation
- Lost past and future wages
- The cost of any property damaged in the accident

- Pain and suffering
- The loss of enjoyment of life
- Loss of consortium
- Emotional trauma
Don’t Wait–File Today
New Jersey has a statute of limitations in place for personal injury claims, which essentially means that you are required to file your personal injury claim within a certain period of time. In most cases, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims in New Jersey is two years. If you wait longer than two years from the date of your accident and the statute of limitations expires, you’ll likely be permanently barred from bringing your personal injury claim altogether. Don’t make the mistake of waiting when you can speak with a competent attorney today.
