What Should I Do After a Car Accident in Kenilworth, NJ?

After a car accident in Kenilworth, you should seek medical care, report the crash to police, exchange contact and insurance information with the other driver, and notify your insurance company. Taking these steps can help you start dealing with what happened.

While some crashes cause relatively minor injuries, others can lead to broken bones, head injuries, back injuries, or other serious harm. These injuries may affect your ability to work, drive, care for yourself, or manage everyday activities.

Depending on the circumstances, compensation may cover medical expenses, lost income, vehicle repairs, pain and suffering, and other losses caused by the accident. The amount available will depend on your injuries, expenses, and how the crash has affected your life.

After a parking lot crash, questions may come up about which driver was responsible. New Jersey follows a modified comparative negligence rule, so your share of fault can affect how much compensation you may recover.

Under New Jersey law, most personal injury lawsuits must be filed within two years of the injury. Missing this deadline can prevent you from filing a lawsuit later.

When fault is disputed, photos of the vehicles, available surveillance video, and the police report may help show what happened. These details can be useful when you and the other driver have different accounts of the collision.

If problems come up during your claim, a car accident lawyer can deal with the insurance company, review how fault is being assigned, and determine what losses should be included. An attorney can also prepare a lawsuit if the claim cannot be resolved.
