What Injuries Are Common in Car Accidents in Linden, NJ?

After a car accident in Linden, common injuries include whiplash, neck and back injuries, broken bones, and head injuries. You may also suffer cuts, bruises, or internal injuries. How serious these injuries are often depends on the speed and type of crash.

Because some symptoms take time to show up, you may not realize you are injured right away. Adrenaline can hide pain for hours or even days after a collision. That is why seeing a doctor as soon as possible is important, even if you feel fine.

Keep your medical records, bills, prescriptions, and therapy notes. These records show your injuries resulted from the crash. They document your injuries and medical treatment.

In New Jersey, your own personal injury protection (PIP) coverage generally pays your medical bills first after a car accident. This applies regardless of who caused the collision. Your policy limits and coverage terms determine how much PIP will pay toward your medical expenses.

If you chose the limitation on lawsuit option, New Jersey law limits when you can seek compensation for pain and suffering. You generally need to have a qualifying injury, such as a permanent injury, a displaced fracture, or significant scarring. The nature and severity of your injuries help determine whether you meet this requirement.

Under New Jersey law, you generally have two years from the date of a car accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. Some exceptions may apply, but it is important to know how much time you have. Missing the deadline could mean losing your right to seek compensation through a lawsuit.

Insurers sometimes question whether your injuries really came from the crash. A Linden personal injury lawyer can use your medical records to show the connection and keep the focus on the facts.
