Car Accident Resources for Injured Parties in New Jersey
Paramus injury lawyers advise clients on being prepared and taking the next steps
When it comes to NJ auto accidents, forewarned is forearmed. Everyone who operates a car or rides as a passenger should have a working knowledge of the protocols for handling an accident. In the heat of the moment, in the wake of a crash, an unprepared individual is unlikely to make the best decisions. Similarly, in the hours and days that follow, you can find yourself wasting time and getting frustrated, as you wade through the administrative and legal processes related to your claim. At Razi & Giampa Law, we firmly believe in the old military maxim that fighters don’t rise to the occasion, they fall to the level of their training. To “train you up,” so you can have better success at resolving your claim on favorable terms, we offer this brief page of car accident resources. If you have additional questions, and we’re sure you will, we hope you’ll contact us as soon as possible after your accident.
What to Do After an Auto Accident
Drivers who have been involved in an accident, regardless of fault, have certain legal obligations as well as moral responsibilities. How you conduct yourself in the moments immediately after your accident will impact your safety, your long-term health, and your legal rights. Our attorneys want you to be safe, sound, and well-positioned to advance your claim for compensation.
Dealing with Insurance Companies
In our practice, we come across many individuals who feel they are fully capable of representing themselves in their accident claim. They’re usually not wrong about their ability to check all the boxes, assemble necessary documentation, and submit their claim to an insurer. Where they go wrong is in expecting earnest service from an insurance company, even their own. They also underestimate the toll that wrangling with an insurer can take on their convalescence. Finally, they underestimate the “value added” by an experienced attorney who knows insurer tactics, can properly value your claim, and has the resources to prosecute the case in court, if necessary.
Understanding NJ No-Fault Insurance Laws
The complexity of NJ no-fault insurance laws is another reason to let a seasoned professional manage your claim. For a taste of what you’d be up against, please visit our page on this crucial subject.
Common Injuries
If you’ve been hurt in a car crash, you’re certainly not alone. But while some injuries are immediately apparent, crash victims often suffer latent injuries. Adrenaline often masks symptoms, so some victims make the mistake of thinking they’ve only been “shaken up,” without suffering any real harm. Hours or days later, the pain sets in. In some cases, internal bleeding that’s gone untreated can be deadly. To understand the importance of seeking immediate medical treatment to ensure your health and safety, please visit this dedicated page.
