Clark, NJ (September 23, 2026) – One person was injured in a two-vehicle crash on Central Avenue in Clark on Tuesday, September 22. The collision was reported at about 8:58 a.m. in front of a fast-food restaurant and involved a white sedan.
Dispatch information indicated that the car was disabled, prompting a request for a tow truck.
Authorities are investigating what caused the crash.
We hope the injured person makes a full recovery.
A car accident claim in Clark usually starts by notifying the insurance company and providing basic information about the crash. From there, the insurer reviews the claim, investigates what happened, and determines which coverage may apply.
When you open a claim, the insurance company may ask for the date and place of the crash, information about the vehicles, and details about your injuries or property damage. You will usually receive a claim number and be assigned an insurance adjuster.
As the insurer investigates, the adjuster may look at police reports, photos, repair estimates, medical records, and statements from the people involved. This information can help determine how the crash happened and whether another driver bears responsibility.
If you are asked for a recorded statement, consider what you say carefully because the insurer may compare your answers with other information later. Questions may cover how the crash happened, your injuries, and the medical care you have received.
When responsibility is disputed, New Jersey’s modified comparative negligence rule can affect your compensation. Your recovery may be reduced by your percentage of fault, and you generally cannot recover damages if you are more than 50% responsible.
If the claim cannot be settled, filing a lawsuit may be the next step. A lawsuit allows both sides to exchange information and evidence before the case is resolved through a settlement or, when necessary, a trial.
Because filing deadlines apply, waiting too long can affect your ability to pursue compensation. In New Jersey, most personal injury lawsuits must generally be filed within two years of the date of the accident, although different deadlines may apply in some cases.
During the claims process, a car accident lawyer can handle communications with the adjuster, organize supporting records, and help protect your rights.
