Most personal injury claims in New Jersey are built on a legal theory called negligence. To recover compensation, an injured person generally must be able to show four linked things about the party who caused the harm:
The at-fault party owed a legal duty to act reasonably, such as a driver's duty to follow traffic laws or a property owner's duty to maintain safe premises.
The at-fault party failed to meet that duty, for example by speeding, ignoring a traffic signal, or leaving a hazard uncorrected.
That breach must be shown to be a direct cause of the accident and the resulting injuries.
The injured person suffered actual losses as a result, such as medical bills, lost income, or pain and suffering.
Get checked out immediately, even if your injuries seem minor at first, since some conditions do not show symptoms right away.
Notify the appropriate authorities, whether that means calling the Teaneck Police Department for a car accident or notifying a property manager after a slip and fall.
Take photos of the accident scene, your injuries, and any hazardous conditions involved as soon as it is safe to do so.
Do not give a recorded statement to an insurance adjuster before speaking with an attorney, since insurers often look for ways to minimize what they owe you.
New Jersey law generally gives injury victims two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit, according to the New Jersey Courts, so it is important to speak with an attorney as soon as possible after your accident.
