What Injuries Are Common in Pedestrian Crashes in Linden, NJ?

Common injuries in pedestrian crashes in Linden include broken bones, head and brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, and internal injuries. Many of these injuries require long-term treatment, even when they are not immediately apparent.

Recovery time can vary widely. Some people heal within weeks, while others need surgery, physical therapy, or help at home for months. During recovery, you may struggle with everyday activities like working, driving, caring for your family, or keeping up with household responsibilities.

To support your claim, take photos of your injuries and where the crash happened. Get contact information from witnesses, look for nearby security camera footage, and request a copy of the police report. Keep your medical records, treatment dates, and bills together so you can track your expenses and clearly document the cost of care.

Even though you were on foot, New Jersey personal injury protection (PIP) coverage may help pay your medical bills. Your auto policy or a relative’s policy may apply. If neither is available, the driver’s policy may provide coverage, depending on the circumstances.

Depending on your injuries, you may be able to recover compensation for medical bills, lost income, and pain and suffering. If you need ongoing treatment or cannot return to work, your claim may also include future medical expenses and lost earnings.

In New Jersey, you generally have two years from the date of a pedestrian crash to file a personal injury lawsuit. Missing this deadline may mean losing your right to seek compensation through the courts, although exceptions may apply in certain cases.

Serious injuries can lead to long recoveries and growing medical bills. A pedestrian accident lawyer can gather medical evidence to show the full extent of your injuries and handle communication with the insurance company while you focus on your recovery.
