How Is Fault Determined After a Multi-Vehicle Crash in Linden, NJ?

Fault after a multi-vehicle crash in Linden is determined by whose careless driving caused or contributed to the collision. More than one driver may share responsibility when several actions lead to the same crash.

When drivers give different accounts, crash reports, photographs, witness statements, and available video can help clarify what happened. These records may show vehicle movements, traffic signals, and the order in which the vehicles struck one another.

Because New Jersey has a no-fault insurance system, Personal Injury Protection coverage generally pays eligible medical bills within your policy’s terms and limits. You usually do not need to wait for a fault decision to use these benefits.

If another driver caused your injuries, you may have a claim for lost income, unpaid medical expenses, and other losses. Whether you can also seek compensation for pain and suffering may depend on the extent of your injuries and the lawsuit option on your policy.

Because New Jersey follows a comparative fault rule, your compensation may be reduced by your share of responsibility for the crash. You generally cannot recover damages if your percentage of fault is greater than the combined fault of the parties you are seeking compensation from.

In New Jersey, you generally have two years from the date of the crash to file a personal injury lawsuit. Missing this deadline may prevent you from pursuing compensation through the courts.

When an insurer disputes responsibility, a car accident lawyer can review crash reports, photographs, video, and other evidence to show how the crash happened and who may be responsible. An attorney can handle communication with the insurance companies while you focus on your recovery.
