What You Need To Know About Car Accidents In New Jersey
Car crashes come in many forms, below are the most often-seen types of car crashes, mostly occurring due to distraction, drowsiness or impairment:
- Head-on collisions – Two vehicles traveling in opposing directions collide, or one driver is driving the wrong way.
- Rear-end collisions – One vehicle slamming into the rear of the one in front of it.
- T-bone collisions – The front of one vehicle striking the side of another, often caused by running a red light or failing to stop or slow down at a red light or stop sign.
- Sideswipe collisions – A vehicle crashes into another car’s side, which occurs when a driver fails to clear a blind spot, doesn’t look in the rearview or side mirror before changing lanes, or allows a vehicle to drift.
- Rollover collisions – A vehicle flipping over during an accident with a high rate of fatalities.
These consequences often involve broken bones, spine injuries, brain trauma, or severe wounds and lacerations. The results can be even worse for commercial vehicle accidents or multicar pileups.
You Cannot Rely On Fair Treatment From Insurance Companies
Insurance companies are well aware of the reasons accidents happen but are reluctant to pay for the expensive injuries that follow. Our car accident lawyers hold them responsible for a fair and complete settlement. This frequently includes financial compensation for medical bills, ongoing care needs, lost wages and other expenses related to your injuries that can result from:
- Commercial vehicle accidents – When a more significant and heavier commercial vehicle collides with a car, the aftermath involves devastating injuries for the driver and any passengers in the smaller vehicle. These types of accident claims are known for being more complicated, particularly when considering defendants who are influential companies with large legal teams. These powerful entities will not hesitate to wield their power, focusing on minimizing the compensation you are entitled to.
- Motorcycle accidents – Many find motorcycle riding to be an enjoyable activity. However, it lacks the driver protection that comes with cars and trucks, who often fail to see motorcyclists. Collisions between the two can violently throw riders from their bikes, resulting in potentially catastrophic and life-changing injuries, not to mention potential fatalities. A lack of helmet use can make a bad situation worse.
- Pedestrian and bicycle accidents – Pedestrians and bicyclists face risks from motorists when walking or biking. In a split second, a speeding vehicle operated by a distracted driver can result in severe and potentially deadly injuries. For far too many accident victims, the outcome could range from broken bones and loss of a limb to paralysis and death.
