We fight for the full value of your injury claim, while giving you our personal attention throughout the legal process.
Recent trends in New Jersey auto accidents
Despite New Jersey’s large population and extensive network of heavily trafficked roadways, the Garden State has been relatively safe for automobile traffic. According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), New Jersey ranked fourth among states with the lowest death rates per 100 million vehicle miles traveled in 2021. Of course, that was a COVID year, and overall traffic was down significantly. Now that lockdowns have ended, there has been a sharp rise in overall accidents as well as fatal crashes. As NJ.com reported, “New Jersey saw a 10.6 percent increase in the number of traffic deaths between January and September 2022, when compared to the same period in 2021, according to NHTSA estimates.” But whether New Jersey auto accidents are rare or common, your accident is the one that matters to you, and you can rely on your R&G attorney to make your case a top priority.
Negotiating from strength with insurance providers
Decades ago, New Jersey adopted no-fault insurance to reduce costly auto accident litigation and encourage quick settlements. A consequence of that well-intentioned law was to put policyholders in an adverse relationship with their own insurance companies. Many injured motorists are alarmed to find that when they make a claim for personal injury protection or uninsured motorist coverage, after years of faithfully paying premiums to their insurer, the entire dynamic changes. They’re no longer in the good hands of their good neighbor. Only after retaining an attorney to handle negotiations do they receive a settlement offer that fully compensates their losses.
The stakes are higher for accident victims who file liability claims against an at-fault driver. Insurance companies resort to the three Ds: Deny, Delay, and Defend. To make any progress in your claim, you need an experienced attorney who knows the industry tactics and refuses to be intimidated.
Finally, if you have “limited right to sue insurance,” you might require an attorney to prove you meet the “serious injury” threshold before you can even take your accident claim to court.
Reliable counsel for complex NJ auto accident scenarios
There are two crucial elements that determine the success of a claim: liability and damages. At R&G, we have extensive experience managing cases for a wide range of car crash scenarios, such as:
- Side-swipe crashes
- Rear-end collisions
- Head-on collisions
- T-bone impacts
- Hit and run accidents
- Drunk driving accidents
- Distracted driving accidents
When necessary, we engage reliable accident reconstruction experts and conduct witness interviews to ascertain fault. We subpoena phone records to determine whether cellphone use could have been a factor in the crash.
We are also meticulous in assessing the full extent of your losses. We consult medical experts to understand the depth of your pain and suffering, as well as your prognosis for recovery, and we engage financial experts to calculate future financial losses, in you are unable to return to work. We are determined to build an arsenal of substantial evidence that allows us to negotiate from a position of strength and win at trial, if necessary.
