What Should I Do After a Car Accident in Linden, NJ?

After a car accident in Linden, you should call 911, seek medical attention, and move to a safe place if possible. Exchange information with the other driver and document what happened without putting yourself at risk.

Even if you feel fine after the crash, you should see a doctor as soon as possible. Some injuries may not become noticeable right away. A prompt medical examination can help identify hidden injuries, ensure you receive proper treatment, and create medical records that may support your injury claim.

To document the crash, keep photographs, the other driver’s contact and insurance information, available video footage, contact details for anyone who saw the collision, and a copy of the police report. Save these records as soon as possible.

When you contact your insurance company, explain what happened and follow your policy’s reporting requirements. Stick to the facts you know rather than guessing about either driver’s speed, who caused the crash, or the extent of your injuries.

While you are receiving treatment, your personal injury protection (PIP) coverage may help pay medical bills regardless of fault. However, payment depends on your policy’s terms and limits. If you chose health insurance as your primary coverage, it may pay first.

In New Jersey, you generally have two years from the date of a car accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. Some exceptions may affect this deadline. Missing the applicable deadline could prevent you from pursuing compensation in court.

When fault is disputed, a car accident lawyer can review your case and communicate with the insurance companies on your behalf. An attorney can also track important deadlines and explain the next steps in your claim.
