How it works
How A Mount Laurel Car Accident Claim Works
1. Your own PIP pays your medical bills first
New Jersey is a no-fault state. After a crash, your own auto policy’s Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage usually pays your medical bills first, no matter who caused the accident. How much PIP you have depends on the policy you chose.
2. Your tort option decides whether you can sue for pain and suffering
Most New Jersey drivers have the “limitation on lawsuit” (limited tort) option. With it, you can only recover for pain and suffering if your injury falls into one of the categories in N.J.S.A. 39:6A-8(a): death, dismemberment, significant disfigurement or scarring, a displaced fracture, loss of a fetus, or a permanent injury confirmed by a doctor. If you have the “no limitation” (full tort) option, those limits don’t apply. Your tort option is listed on your insurance declarations page.
3. A claim against the at-fault driver covers what PIP doesn’t
Beyond PIP, you may be able to recover certain losses from the at-fault driver’s insurance, such as medical bills and lost income that PIP does not cover, and pain and suffering if your tort option and injury allow it. Motorcycle riders should have their own policy reviewed as well.
Where your case goes
Where Your Case Is Handled
If a lawsuit is needed, a Mount Laurel car accident case is usually filed in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Law Division, in Burlington County, in Mount Holly. You generally have two years from the crash to file a lawsuit. If a public entity may be responsible, such as a township vehicle or a county road defect, a notice of claim is usually due within 90 days. See our guide to New Jersey filing deadlines.
What to do
What To Do After A Crash In Mount Laurel
- Call 911 so police and medical help are on the way, and see a doctor even if you feel fine.
- Photograph the vehicles, the scene, road conditions and your injuries.
- Get the other driver’s name, insurance information and contact details, and the names of any witnesses.
- Make sure a police report is filed, and request a copy of the crash report.
- Do not give a recorded statement to the other driver’s insurance company until you have spoken with a lawyer.
- For a motorcycle crash, keep your damaged bike and gear, and do not repair them until they have been documented.
Motorcycles
Motorcycle Accidents In Mount Laurel
Motorcycle riders are hard to see, and drivers often misjudge how fast a rider is approaching. New Jersey requires motorcycle riders and passengers to wear helmets. Insurance companies sometimes try to use a helmet or other safety equipment to argue that an injury was caused or made worse by the rider, so it is important to have a lawyer look at how the crash happened.
Questions
Mount Laurel Car Accident FAQs
Do I have a case if I was hit in Mount Laurel?
Possibly. It depends on how the crash happened, who was at fault and what insurance applies. A free consultation can help you find out.
What if I was partly at fault?
You can still recover as long as you were 50% or less at fault. Your award is reduced by your share of fault.
Do I need a lawyer if the other driver’s insurance company calls me?
You are not required to talk to them, and it is often wise to speak with a lawyer first. Insurance adjusters may ask questions that affect your claim.
How much does it cost to hire you?
Nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee, so there is no fee unless we win.
