What Injuries Are Common in Car Accidents in Elizabeth, NJ?

Car accidents in Elizabeth can cause neck and back injuries, broken bones, head injuries, cuts, and internal injuries. Some may appear immediately, while others become noticeable later and can interfere with your work, mobility, or normal daily activities.

Because New Jersey uses a no-fault system, your Personal Injury Protection coverage generally pays accident-related medical expenses regardless of who caused the crash. If you selected health insurance as your primary medical coverage, that policy may pay first.

If another driver caused the crash, you may be able to recover lost income and other accident-related costs. Depending on your insurance coverage and the seriousness of your injury, you may also be able to make a claim for pain and suffering.

After medical care begins, keep your doctor’s notes, treatment bills, and photos of visible injuries together. These records can help connect your injuries to the crash and show how your treatment and recovery progressed over time.

In New Jersey, you generally have two years from the date of a car accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. Missing this deadline can prevent you from recovering compensation through a lawsuit, so it is important to keep track of how much time remains after the crash.

If an insurance company tries to downplay your injuries or question the treatment you received after a crash, a lawyer can review your medical records and gather evidence to support your claim. An attorney can also address disputes over medical bills and other losses caused by your injuries.
