Irvington, NJ (September 22, 2026) – A pedestrian was struck by a vehicle on Clinton Avenue in Irvington on Monday, September 21. The collision was reported at about 8:33 p.m.
Emergency units were dispatched to assist. Details about the pedestrian’s injuries have not yet been released.
Authorities are investigating the circumstances surrounding the crash.
We hope the pedestrian makes a full recovery.
In Irvington and throughout New Jersey, you generally have two years from the date of a pedestrian accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. Some cases have different deadlines, so the time you have may depend on what happened.
If a public agency or public worker is involved in your crash, a much shorter deadline may apply. New Jersey may require you to give notice within 90 days, so it can help to find out early if the government was involved.
After you are hit by a vehicle, Personal Injury Protection may help pay your medical bills no matter who caused the crash. PIP may cover some of your treatment costs while fault is still being worked out.
Beyond PIP, you may have a claim against a careless driver for losses that insurance does not fully cover. Depending on your case, this may include lost pay, pain, and other harm caused by the crash.
In rare cases, you may be able to seek extra damages if the driver acted in a very dangerous way. These damages are meant for serious conduct and do not apply in most pedestrian accident cases.
When there are questions about how your crash happened, evidence can help show what took place. Photos, video, vehicle damage, medical records, and statements from people who saw the crash may help support your claim.
If fault is disputed, New Jersey’s shared fault rule can affect how much compensation you may receive. Your payment may be reduced based on your share of fault, and you generally cannot recover compensation if you are found to be more than 50% responsible for the crash.
Because more than one deadline or insurance rule may apply, a pedestrian accident lawyer can help you find out what applies to your case. An attorney can also speak with insurance companies on your behalf and help make sure your forms are filed on time.
