Rahway, NJ (August 25, 2026) – A young child was injured after a vehicle struck them near Bramhall Road in Rahway on Tuesday, August 25. The wreck was reported at about 1:18 p.m.
Dispatch information initially indicated that the child was unconscious but breathing.
Emergency units were called to assist the child and others involved in the collision.
The child was later reported awake with a head injury. Additional details about the child’s injuries have not been released.
Local authorities are investigating what led to the collision.
We hope the child makes a full recovery.
Yes. If your child was injured in a Rahway car accident, you may be able to pursue a claim on their behalf. Your available options depend on how the crash happened, the injuries, and the insurance coverage involved.
When a child has a head injury, prompt medical care and each recommended follow-up appointment can be important. Watch for headaches, dizziness, confusion, sleep changes, pain, or concentration problems that may become more noticeable after the collision.
After treatment begins, save medical records, bills, prescription receipts, photographs, and notes about changes to your child’s schoolwork, activities, sleep, and daily routine. These materials can help document the care your child needs and the losses your family faces.
Because New Jersey uses no-fault auto insurance, PIP may pay qualifying medical expenses without regard to fault. The policy covering your child or household can affect which benefits are available and how the medical bills are handled.
If another driver caused the crash, you may also have a claim for losses that PIP does not cover. Whether your child can seek pain and suffering may depend on the injury and whether the policy limits those claims.
Before you accept an insurance offer, make sure your child’s recovery is better understood. An early settlement may not reflect ongoing testing, future treatment, or lasting effects connected to a head injury.
When coverage questions arise, a lawyer can review the policies, communicate with insurers, and assess your child’s current and future losses. This can help you understand whether a proposed settlement addresses your child’s needs.
