Car accidents are the most common type of auto accident, and as such, are also the most common causes of personal injury claims. Typically, car accidents are minor and do not cause injuries. However, serious car accidents often require ER visits, hospitalizations, surgeries, and more. Oftentimes, these injuries are life-altering and can cause significant disabilities, resulting in lost wages, medical bills, and financial hardships. Lutz Injury Law understands how devastating a serious car accident can be, which is why if you have been injured in one, our experienced New Jersey personal injury attorney is here to help you through the claims process, every step of the way.

New Jerseyans are familiar with the dense traffic in our state, especially around rush hour. Unfortunately, the higher the volume of cars on the road, the greater the chances of an accident. Though sometimes accidents are simply inevitable, the most common cause of car accidents is driver negligence. Some of the most common types of driver negligence we see are as follows:
Though the moments after a car accident are often filled with shock and serious pain, you should try and do the following (as long as you are still physically capable):
In New Jersey, all drivers are covered under Personal Injury Protection, or PIP. PIP is simply no-fault insurance, meaning that it doesn’t matter if you were at fault in causing the accident, you will still have at least some of your medical bills and lost wages covered. However, depending on your policy and the extent of your injuries, PIP may not be enough. If the cost of your injuries surpasses the amount of PIP coverage you have, you should consider filing a personal injury lawsuit.
Many people worry about what will happen if they were struck by an uninsured motorist. Fortunately, the answer is simple. The state of New Jersey requires all motorists to purchase UM Insurance or Uninsured Motorist Insurance with limited coverage amounts of $15,000 for injuries sustained by a single person in a car accident, $30,000 for injuries sustained by everyone involved in the accident, and $5,000 for any property damage caused by the accident. That being said, this may not cover the entirety of your injuries. In this case, we can help you file a claim against your own insurance company to win you the full compensation you deserve.
In New Jersey, the statute of limitations states that people injured in car accidents will have two years from the date of their accident to take legal action against the negligent motorist. Though this may sound like a lot of time, the truth is, the sooner you bring your claim to our attention, the better. We are ready to begin the claims process immediately–all you have to do is ask.
Generally speaking, insurance companies do not have your best interest in mind. That is why the most important thing you can do is retain the services of an experienced and trusted legal advocate to fight on your behalf. Edward C.
