What Injuries Are Common in Car Accidents in East Orange, NJ?

After a car accident in East Orange, common injuries include whiplash and other neck injuries, back injuries, head injuries, broken bones, and cuts and bruises. These injuries can be minor or serious, and even a low-speed crash can cause pain that lasts for weeks or even months.

Because some symptoms take time to appear, it is a good idea to see a doctor right away, even if you feel fine at the scene. Adrenaline can hide pain for hours or days, so watch for warning signs such as headaches, stiffness, numbness, or tingling in your arms or legs.

Through your own auto policy, personal injury protection (PIP) pays your medical bills first, up to your policy limit. This coverage applies no matter who caused the crash, so you can get doctor visits, tests, and therapy right away without waiting for anyone to decide who is at fault.

If you chose the limitation on lawsuit option, you can generally seek pain and suffering only for certain serious injuries listed under state law. These include a permanent injury, a displaced fracture, significant scarring or disfigurement, or the loss of a body part.

Under New Jersey law, you generally have two years from the date of the crash to file a personal injury lawsuit. Missing this deadline could cost you the right to compensation, even if your injuries turn out to be more serious than you first thought after the crash.
