Linden, NJ (September 30, 2026) – A two-car wreck left at least one person injured on East Curtis Street in Linden on Tuesday, September 29. The collision was reported at about 10:24 p.m.
Emergency personnel arrived and assisted those involved. Initial reports indicated that the occupants were already out of their vehicles. Further details about their injuries have not yet been released.
Local authorities are investigating what caused the crash.
We wish everyone injured a smooth and steady recovery.
After a car accident in Linden, you may recover compensation for medical costs, lost income, property damage, and pain and suffering. The amount available will depend on the losses connected to the crash and the claims you are able to pursue.
Because New Jersey follows a no-fault insurance system, your own Personal Injury Protection coverage generally pays early medical bills after a car accident, regardless of who caused it. The amount available depends on the PIP coverage selected under your policy.
If the driver who caused the crash has little or no insurance, uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage under your own policy may help. This coverage can provide another source of payment when the responsible driver does not have enough insurance.
In some cases, New Jersey may allow punitive damages when a driver shows an especially reckless disregard for the safety of others. Drunk driving may raise this issue, but punitive damages are separate from ordinary compensation and require a higher level of proof.
When you share responsibility for a crash, New Jersey’s comparative negligence rule can reduce your recovery based on your percentage of fault. If you are more than 50% responsible, you generally cannot recover damages from the other driver.
Even while you are dealing with medical care and other concerns, keep the filing deadline in mind. New Jersey generally gives you two years from the crash date to file a personal injury lawsuit, although certain exceptions may change that deadline.
If an insurer offers less than your claim may be worth, a car accident lawyer can review the offer and negotiate on your behalf.
