Linden, NJ (September 16, 2026) – At least one person was injured in a two-car wreck on southbound West Edgar Road in Linden on Monday, September 14. The collision happened at about 4:10 a.m. near a Bentley dealership.
Initial reports indicated that a Nissan and a Ford Escape collided, leaving both vehicles heavily damaged. Oil was also reported leaking from the vehicles after the crash.
One person complained of head pain following the collision, and emergency crews requested transportation for that person. Tow trucks were also called to remove both damaged vehicles from the roadway.
Local authorities are working to determine the cause of the crash.
We hope the injured person makes a full recovery.
Head injuries can be serious after a car accident in Linden because they may affect the brain and interfere with your ability to think, work, drive, or manage everyday activities. In more serious cases, the injury can cause brain swelling, internal bleeding, or a skull fracture that requires urgent medical treatment.
When the drivers give different accounts of a crash, the police report, photos, and available video can help clarify what happened. These records may show the vehicles’ positions, damage, and movements before the collision.
Depending on the circumstances, compensation may cover medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and other losses caused by the crash. The amount available will depend on your injuries and how the collision has affected your life.
Because New Jersey follows a no-fault insurance system, Personal Injury Protection coverage may pay certain medical expenses after a crash regardless of who caused it. The coverage available will depend on your policy.
In New Jersey, most personal injury lawsuits generally must be filed within two years of the crash. If you miss that deadline, you may lose the chance to pursue compensation through a lawsuit.
As the claim moves forward, a personal injury lawyer can communicate with the insurance company, address disputes that may affect your case, and handle negotiations on your behalf. An attorney can also review settlement offers and explain what they may mean for your claim.
A serious head injury can leave you dealing with medical care, time away from work, and questions about what comes next. At the Law Offices of Sander Budanitsky, we help people injured in New Jersey crashes understand the claims process and what may affect their case.
