Seeking Fair Settlements For Motor Vehicle Accident Victims
A motor vehicle accident can happen when you least expect it. A distracted driver ignores a stop sign and plows into the side of your vehicle. A drunk driver swerves his car and crashes into your car. Or a teen driver accelerates and smashes into the back of your vehicle.
These are examples of preventable accidents. Due to the negligence of others, you have been seriously injured, and your life was turned upside down. How are you going to pay your medical bills? When will you be able to return to work?
These are questions that an experienced New Jersey personal injury attorney may be able to answer. Laufer, Dalena, Jensen, Bradley & Doran, LLC, of Morristown, New Jersey, has represented hundreds of clients injured in motor vehicle accidents caused by others. Our attorneys are effective, aggressive and compassionate.
Many Injuries Attributed To Preventable Car Accidents
Preventable motor vehicle accidents happen for a number of reasons. There are the distracted drivers who text or talk on their cellphone, while ignoring traffic rules. You may be a passenger in a car or commercial truck driven by a person who ignores the speed limit. And, don’t forget about drunk drivers, as well as road rage incidents that could lead to serious injuries.
There are many types of serious injuries that can happen in a motor vehicle accident. Some include:
- Spinal cord injury that could lead to paralysis
- Back injuries that may lead to lifelong pain
- A brain injury that may affect your cognitive and motor skills
- Fractures that may leave you permanently disabled
- Loss of limbs that may require the use of prosthetics

What are the leading causes of car accidents in NJ?
There are many causes of car accidents, but driver inattention is the leading offense. Cell phones, food and drinks, fixing appearance, adjusting the radio and GPS are all small distractions that can lead to major consequences.
New Jersey is a no-fault state for car accident, what does that mean?
Being in a no-fault state means that most car accident claims are actually filed with the driver’s own insurance, and not against the insurance of the driver that hit them. Most insurance policies in New Jersey often come with no-fault coverage to help the accident victim.
What is the statute of limitations in a NJ car accident case?
The victim of a car accident has two years from the date of the crash to file a claim. While that can seem like a long time to file a claim, it is important for an accident victim to file their claim as soon as possible to help them earn the compensation they need to cover their accident expenses.
After a car accident in New Jersey, when should I contact a lawyer?
There are a few calls you should make after an accident. You should call the police to report the accident and get any necessary medical treatment, your insurance to alert them to the accident, then you should call an attorney for the guidance you need to avoid mistakes in your compensation claim.
