Automobile Accidents - New Jersey Auto Accident Lawyers

Millions of Americans suffer car accidents each year . Perhaps you are one of them. In the high traffic areas of New Jersey, such as the New Jersey Turnpike and the many South Jersey bridges, your chance of an auto accident increases greatly.

That’s why it is so important to be prepared. You probably know what steps to take in the event of an accident. But do you know who to call if you’ve been injured or, worse yet, if someone has died?

What Should You Do First?

Despite what you may have been taught, it’s good advice to call your attorney before you call your insurance company. For example, if you accept money from the insurance company, you may be liable for paying out-of-pocket for medical bills, etc. Your attorney can review your rights to avoid making these kinds of costly mistakes.

The knowledgeable South Jersey accident attorneys at Anapol Schwartz provide experienced legal counsel to those affected by car accidents. They’ll help you understand the main points you should consider, and they can be a calming voice during the emotional time that naturally follows a car accident.  Our office in South Jersey is available to help you.

Why So Many Auto Accidents?

Auto accidents are usually caused by one of seven reasons:

1. Your negligence
2. Another driver’s negligence
3. Reckless driving
4. Poor road maintenance
5. Poor road conditions
6. Automobile defects
7. Other factors

How No-Fault Affects You

New Jersey is a no-fault state, requiring each driver involved in an auto accident to recover damages from his or her own insurance company, regardless of who was at fault. However, accident victims can still sue for losses like:

• Pain and suffering
• Serious impairment
• Severe injuries with expensive medical costs

No fault laws can become complex, however, and choosing a knowledgeable attorney to represent you is important to the outcome of your case.
