Understanding New Jersey Car Accident Laws


New Jersey follows a "choice no-fault" insurance system, which can make it harder to know whether you're eligible to sue after a crash. Here's what you need to know:


  • Drivers must carry minimum amounts of auto insurance under NJ law.
  • You may be limited by your policy's "verbal threshold" unless you opted for unlimited right to sue.
  • If another driver caused the crash, you may still have the right to pursue compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
  • Statute of limitations: You generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury claim.


Every case is different, which is why it's important to speak with a New Jersey car accident lawyer early. We can help determine what type of claim you may have-and whether you're likely to succeed.

  3. Take photos of the scene, damage, license plates, and injuries.
  4. Get names and insurance info from other drivers, and contact info from witnesses.
