Garwood, NJ (September 6, 2026) – One person was injured after a two-car wreck on West Street in Garwood on Saturday, September 5. The crash occurred at approximately 5:58 p.m.
Dispatch information indicated that EMS transported one person to the hospital. One vehicle was driven away, while the other was towed from West Street.
Crews also disconnected the battery from the vehicle that required towing.
Authorities continue to investigate what caused the wreck.
We hope the person taken to the hospital makes a full recovery.
After a car accident in Garwood, your Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage generally pays eligible medical bills first, regardless of who caused the crash. Your deductible, copayment, policy limits, and coverage selections can affect how much is paid and what you may owe.
In the days after a collision, bills can begin arriving while your insurance claim is still being processed. Giving your medical providers the correct auto insurance information can help prevent unnecessary billing problems while you continue treatment.
When treatment continues for several weeks or months, it can be important to know how much PIP coverage remains available. Medical expenses can add up quickly when a person needs additional testing, therapy, specialist visits, or other follow-up care.
Because New Jersey uses a no-fault system for many accident-related medical expenses, the driver who caused the crash does not automatically pay your initial treatment bills. A separate claim against another driver may involve different losses and additional legal requirements.
If an insurer questions whether particular treatment is connected to the crash, the claim may become more difficult. Medical records showing when symptoms began, what care was recommended, and how treatment progressed can become important when coverage is disputed.
When several policies or insurers are involved, determining which carrier should process certain expenses can also become confusing. A car accident lawyer can review the available coverage and help address disagreements over accident-related medical bills.
