What Compensation Can I Recover After a Car Accident in Linden, NJ?

After a car accident in Linden, you may recover medical bills, lost wages, vehicle damage, and pain and suffering. How much you can recover depends on your injuries, your financial losses, and how the crash has changed your daily life.

Because New Jersey is a no-fault state, personal injury protection (PIP) through your auto insurance can help pay your medical expenses, regardless of who caused the crash. What it pays depends on your coverage and the rules that apply.

If your policy has a limitation on the lawsuit option, you generally need to meet an injury threshold before seeking pain and suffering damages from another driver. A permanent injury is one example, but other qualifying injuries may also count.

If you’re found partly at fault, your share of responsibility can reduce the damages you receive. For example, if you’re 20% responsible, your award is reduced by 20%. You generally cannot recover if you’re more than 50% at fault.

In rare cases, New Jersey allows punitive damages when someone acts with malice or shows willful and wanton disregard for others’ safety. These damages punish misconduct rather than cover losses, and state law generally limits awards.

Under New Jersey law, you generally have two years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. If you miss that deadline, you may lose the chance to seek damages in court, although exceptions sometimes apply.

If an insurer questions whether your injuries meet New Jersey’s requirements, a car accident lawyer can work with your doctors to support your claim. An attorney can also negotiate for a settlement that covers all of your losses.
