New Jersey Accident Lawsuit

There is no doubt—filing an accident lawsuit in New Jersey often involves a lengthy, complicated process.  All too often, accident victims select the easiest method possible to pursue their claims, collecting less compensation than they deserve, and incurring large out-of-pocket expenses.  They make the choices based on commonly-held misconceptions about what to do after an accident and how accident lawsuits work.

Common misconceptions about accident lawsuits in New Jersey

The following are some of the most common misconceptions that can affect the best outcome for your case:

  • I need to settle my case before receiving treatment:  Nothing is more important than receiving prompt treatment for your injuries—your future depends on it.  But, hold on to every piece of paper associated with your treatment, including receipts, diagnoses, prognoses.  Do not forget to retain receipts for medication, medical devices such as crutches and bandages, and therapy.  When in doubt, retain all evidence.
  • My case is small—I do not need an attorney:  Even for relatively minor injuries that you feel you can handle on your own through an insurance claim; it makes sense to seek advice from an attorney.  Your lawyer can help you identify insurance tactics and other considerations that can ensure fair treatment for your claim.  And, when an experienced New Jersey accident attorney advises you to allow him or her to handle your case, you can be assured that you can obtain the fullest possible settlement with legal representation.
  • I should discuss my accident freely with insurance adjustors:  The insurance adjusters represent the interests of their insurance companies.  It is not in your best interest to discuss your case with them unless you have obtained advice from your own attorney.
  • If I file an accident lawsuit in New Jersey, compensation for my injuries is guaranteed:  After hearing the details of your accident, an experienced New Jersey accident attorney can often predict the potential of your case.  But, New Jersey accident law is complicated, requiring proof of negligence as well as past, current, and future expenses.  If you were more responsible for the accident than anyone else, this could have an adverse affect on your ability to collect damages.
