Elizabeth, NJ (November 3, 2026) – Several vehicles were involved in a collision at Brunswick Avenue and Allen Street in Elizabeth early Tuesday, November 3. The wreck happened at about 12:27 a.m.
Emergency crews responded to assist those involved. Details about any injuries have not yet been released.
Authorities are working to determine what led to the crash.
We hope everyone involved gets the care and support they need to recover.
After a multi-vehicle crash in Elizabeth, your medical bills are usually paid first by your own personal injury protection (PIP) coverage. This applies regardless of who caused the accident or how many drivers were involved. PIP helps pay for necessary medical treatment after a crash.
How much PIP pays depends on your policy. Standard New Jersey auto insurance policies often provide up to $250,000 in medical coverage. However, some drivers choose lower limits, including $15,000. Your coverage amount determines how much PIP can pay toward your treatment.
To support your claim, keep your medical records, hospital bills, and prescription receipts. You should also save receipts for travel to medical appointments and get a copy of the crash report. Having these documents ready can help prevent delays in paying your bills.
When your medical costs go past your PIP limit, you may be able to seek payment from the insurance of the driver or drivers responsible. If several drivers share responsibility, more than one insurance policy may apply. The amount available depends on the coverage each driver carries.
Beyond your medical bills, you may be able to recover compensation for lost wages, reduced earning ability, pain and suffering, and vehicle damage. These losses can affect your finances long after the crash. If you chose New Jersey's limitation on lawsuit option, you generally need a qualifying serious injury to claim pain and suffering.
Under New Jersey law, you generally have two years from the accident date to file a personal injury lawsuit. If you miss this deadline, you could lose your chance to recover compensation through a lawsuit. Some exceptions may apply depending on your circumstances.
When several insurers are involved, it can be hard to know which policy should pay. A car accident lawyer can look at the coverage available and help you avoid decisions that could lower the value of your claim.
