Elizabeth, NJ (September 6, 2026) – One person was hurt in a two-car wreck on Linden Street in Elizabeth on Sunday, September 6. The collision was reported at about 7:20 a.m.
Emergency units were requested to assist those involved.
Local authorities are working to determine what led to the collision.
We hope the injured person makes a full recovery.
After a car accident in Elizabeth, you may be able to recover compensation for medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, property damage, and other losses caused by the crash. The amount available depends on your injuries, insurance coverage, and the circumstances of the collision.
Because New Jersey follows a no-fault auto insurance system, your Personal Injury Protection coverage generally pays eligible medical expenses after a crash regardless of who caused it. This coverage can apply while questions about responsibility are still being reviewed.
If you pursue a claim against another driver, your right to seek certain damages may also depend on the type of auto insurance policy you selected. Some New Jersey policies include a limitation on lawsuit rights that can affect claims for pain and suffering.
When fault is disputed, New Jersey’s comparative negligence rules may affect your recovery. If you share responsibility for the crash, the amount you receive may be reduced based on your percentage of fault.
In some cases, insurance limits can become another issue. If the other driver does not have enough coverage, your own uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage may become relevant, depending on your policy.
As the claim moves forward, insurers may request statements, medical information, repair estimates, or other records before deciding what they will pay. Carefully reviewing those requests can help you understand what information is being sought and why.
If questions arise about fault, insurance coverage, or the value of your claim, a car accident lawyer can review the circumstances and explain how New Jersey law may apply. An attorney can also communicate with the insurers involved on your behalf.
