What Damages Can You Recover After a Car Accident in Monroe Township?
After a car crash in Monroe Township, you have the right to get compensation to help you recover. Here's what you need to know.
Compensation You Can Get After Your Crash
The law lets you get compensation for things you had to pay for:
- Doctor and hospital bills (now and in the future)
- Lost pay when you couldn't work
- Fixing or replacing your car
- Therapy to help you get better
- Rides to doctor visits
You can also get compensation for things that hurt you but don't have a price tag:
- Physical pain
- Feeling sad, scared, or upset
- Not being able to do things you enjoy
- Long-term injuries or scars
The Steps to Take When Pursuing Compensation in Monroe Township
- Call your own insurance first: In New Jersey, your insurance pays for your medical care first, no matter who caused the crash. This is called PIP (Personal Injury Protection). PIP helps with medical bills, some lost pay, and help around the house if you need it.
- Contact the other driver's insurance: Your own insurance only pays up to a limit, usually between $15,000-$250,000 depending on what you chose at the time of buying the policy. You'll need to ask the other driver's insurance for more compensation, especially for pain and suffering.
- Use your uninsured driver coverage: If the person who hit you has no insurance, your own uninsured driver coverage can help you.
- Use your underinsured driver coverage: If the other driver doesn't have enough insurance to cover all your costs, your underinsured coverage can make up the difference.
- Think about going to court: If insurance companies won't pay what's fair, you might need to sue. Your ability to sue depends on which option you picked when buying insurance: limited right to sue or no limit on lawsuit.
With limited right to sue, you can only sue if you have lasting injuries, bad scars, broken bones, lost a baby, or someone died.
With no limit on lawsuit, you can sue for pain and suffering no matter how bad your injuries are.
Our Monroe Township car accident lawyers have helped crash victims recover over $1.5 million in total. We fight so insurance companies don't shortchange you.
Important Laws About Car Crashes You Need to Know
No-Fault Rules
New Jersey has a no-fault system. This means your own insurance pays for your medical care first, no matter who caused the crash. For really bad injuries, you can go after the driver who caused the crash.
Shared Blame Rules
In New Jersey, if you were partly at fault, you get less compensation. Your share is cut by your percentage of blame. If you were more than 50% at fault, you get nothing.
For example, Tom was going a little too fast when Sarah ran a stop sign and hit him. The court says Sarah is 80% at fault and Tom is 20% at fault. If Tom's total costs are $100,000, he'll get $80,000 (his costs minus his 20% share of blame).
Time Limits
You have only two years from the day of your crash to file a lawsuit in Monroe Township. If you miss this two-year deadline, you probably won't get any compensation.
