Car accidents are among the most common causes of personal injury claims in New Jersey and across the country. In a matter of seconds, a crash can result in life-changing injuries, emotional trauma, and significant financial strain. Navigating the legal aftermath of a motor vehicle accident can be overwhelming — and that's where experienced legal counsel comes in.
At ASK Law Firm LLC, we are committed to protecting the rights of individuals injured in auto accidents. Whether you’re facing insurance disputes, medical bills, or uncertainty about who is at fault, our team is ready to provide the skilled legal guidance you need.
What to Do After a Car Accident
Your actions immediately following a crash can have a significant impact on the success of your personal injury claim. Here are essential steps to take:
- Seek medical attention: Even if you feel fine, injuries such as whiplash or internal trauma may not be immediately apparent.
- Call the police: A police report provides vital documentation for your claim.
- Gather evidence: Take photos, collect witness information, and exchange contact details with the other driver.
- Avoid admitting fault: Let the investigation determine liability — even an innocent apology could be misconstrued.
- Contact a lawyer: The sooner you involve legal representation, the better your protection.
Common Causes of Auto Accidents
Understanding what caused the accident is key to determining liability. Common contributing factors include:
- Distracted driving (e.g., texting or phone use)
- Driving under the influence
- Speeding or reckless driving
- Failure to obey traffic signals
- Poor road or weather conditions
Our attorneys work closely with investigators, accident reconstruction experts, and medical professionals to uncover the facts and build a compelling case.
Understanding Your Legal Rights
If you are injured due to another driver’s negligence, you may be entitled to compensation for:
- Medical bills (including future treatment)
- Lost wages or reduced earning capacity
- Property damage
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
New Jersey follows a “comparative negligence” rule, meaning you can still recover damages if you are partially at fault — as long as you are less than 50% responsible.
