Who Can Be Held Liable for Auto Accident Injuries?

Who Can Be Held Liable for Injuries?

Several different parties could be liable depending on how the accident happened.

Negligent Drivers

If another driver was speeding, distracted, or otherwise careless, they’re often the first party held responsible for the crash and resulting injuries.

Employers and Commercial Carriers

In accidents involving company vehicles, the employer or transportation company may be liable if the driver was working at the time of the crash.

Vehicle or Parts Manufacturers

If a defective car part—like faulty brakes or a tire blowout—caused the accident, the manufacturer or distributor could be held accountable through a product liability claim.

Government Agencies

Poor road conditions or missing signage could make a government entity partially responsible.

Filing A Car Accident Claim in Lawrence Township

Filing A Personal Injury Claim in Ewing Township

Filing a car accident claim in Lawrence Township means dealing with New Jersey’s no-fault insurance rules. In most cases, your own policy covers medical expenses through Personal Injury Protection (PIP), no matter who caused the crash. But if your injuries are serious or meet certain thresholds, you may be able to file a claim against the at-fault driver for additional damages. 

That can include pain and suffering or lost income beyond what PIP covers. Every case is different, and deadlines apply, so it’s important to speak with a lawyer early to protect your rights and avoid costly delays.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are answers to some common questions about car accidents in Lawrence Township:

What should I do immediately after a car accident in Lawrence Township?

First, ensure everyone is safe and call 911 if needed. Get medical help, exchange information with other drivers, document the accident scene, and notify your insurance company promptly.

How long do I have to file a car accident claim in Lawrence Township?

In New Jersey, you generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. It’s best to act quickly to protect your rights.

What compensation can I recover after a car accident?

You can seek compensation for medical bills, lost income, vehicle repairs, and non-economic damages like pain and suffering or emotional distress.

How is car accident fault determined in New Jersey?

Fault is assigned based on negligence. New Jersey follows a comparative fault rule, meaning your compensation can be reduced if you share responsibility.

Do I need a lawyer if the insurance company already offered a settlement?

Yes. Insurance offers often undervalue claims. A lawyer can review the offer to ensure it’s fair before you accept anything.

Most personal injury lawyers work on a contingency basis, so you pay nothing upfront and only if you win your case.
