Where Accidents Happen in Burlington County
Burlington County recorded 225 traffic deaths from 2021 to 2025, according to New Jersey State Police data, and through mid-September 2026 it had 25, the most of the three South Jersey counties we track. Most victims were drivers and passengers on the county’s long highway stretches:
- New Jersey Turnpike: a September 2026 Philadelphia Inquirer analysis of NJDOT data found a half-mile stretch in Mount Laurel with 4 fatal crashes
- I-295, with heavy truck and commuter traffic from Bordentown to Mount Laurel
- Route 73, Route 38 and Route 70: wide commercial corridors through Mount Laurel, Moorestown, Marlton and Medford
- Route 130 and Route 206: busy north-south roads with frequent intersection crashes
- County Route 537 and rural roads in the southern and eastern townships, where speed and limited lighting lead to serious crashes
See our South Jersey crash data report for the full numbers.
Cases we handle
Burlington County Injury Cases
Car Accidents
Rear-end, intersection and highway crashes on the Turnpike, I-295, Route 73 and Route 38. New Jersey’s PIP rules and your lawsuit option both shape the claim.
Truck Accidents
Crashes with tractor-trailers serving the warehouses and distribution centers along the Turnpike and I-295.
Construction Accidents
Falls, equipment injuries and struck-by accidents on the county’s many building sites. You may have a workers’ compensation claim and a separate claim against a negligent contractor.
Slip and Falls
Falls in stores, hotels, apartment complexes and parking lots caused by spills, ice, broken pavement or poor lighting.
Motorcycle Accidents
Riders hurt by drivers who fail to yield, especially on Route 206, Route 70 and rural roads.
Workers’ Compensation
Injuries on the job at Burlington County warehouses, offices, hospitals and construction sites.
Pedestrian Accidents
People struck crossing wide roads like Route 73, Route 38 and Route 130.
Dog Bites
New Jersey’s dog bite statute holds owners strictly liable for bites in most situations, even if the dog never bit anyone before.
Construction and work injuries
Construction and Workplace Injuries
Burlington County’s warehouse and construction boom along the Turnpike and I-295 means more workplace injuries. If you were hurt on the job, New Jersey workers’ compensation generally pays your medical treatment and part of your lost wages, no matter who was at fault.
On a construction site, a subcontractor, general contractor, equipment maker or property owner other than your employer may also be responsible. In that case, you may have a separate personal injury claim for full damages, including pain and suffering, on top of workers’ compensation. See our workers’ compensation page.
What to expect
How a Burlington County Injury Case Works
Many Burlington County patients are treated at Virtua Mount Holly or Virtua Willingboro, and the most serious injuries are often taken to Cooper University Hospital in Camden, a Level I trauma center.
If you were hurt in a crash, your own auto policy’s PIP coverage usually pays your medical bills first. A claim against the at-fault driver or property owner can then cover what PIP doesn’t, along with lost wages and pain and suffering. Under New Jersey’s comparative negligence law, you can recover as long as you were 50% or less at fault.
If a lawsuit is needed, a Burlington County case is usually filed in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Law Division, at the Burlington County Courts Facility in Mount Holly. You generally have two years to file, and as little as 90 days to file a notice of claim if a public entity may be responsible. See our guide to New Jersey filing deadlines.

Questions
Burlington County Personal Injury FAQs
Where would my Burlington County injury lawsuit be filed?
Usually in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Law Division, at the Burlington County Courts Facility in Mount Holly. Most cases settle before trial, but we prepare every case as if it will go to court.
I was hurt on a construction site. Is workers’ comp my only option?
Not always. Workers’ compensation covers your medical care and part of your wages, but if someone other than your employer caused the injury, such as another contractor, you may also have a personal injury claim.
I was hurt in a crash on the Turnpike or I-295. Does that change anything?
Highway crashes often involve trucks, multiple vehicles and out-of-state drivers, which can mean more insurance policies and more evidence to preserve. It’s worth talking to a lawyer early.
How much does it cost to hire you?
Nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee, so there’s no fee unless we win.
