Liability for New Jersey Car Accidents
Speeding remains a leading cause of head-on car accidents and other collisions. According to the National Safety Council, “Speeding was a factor in 29% of all traffic fatalities in 2023, killing 11,775, or an average of over 32 people on a typical day. The total number of fatal motor-vehicle crashes attributable to speeding was 10,541.” Several other factors could contribute to a car accident.
- Car accidents are often the result of intoxicated drivers.
- Car accidents may be the result of dangerous left turns.
- Car accidents are more likely when drivers are distracted.
All drivers must use caution to avoid colliding with other vehicles in the roadway. Depending on the prevailing weather conditions, drivers may need to slow down substantially below the speed limit. If a driver collides with another vehicle after exiting their lane of traffic, they will normally be held at fault. Victims of car accidents often suffer very serious injuries.
- Broken bones
- Organ damage
- Brain injuries
- Death
Many of the injuries associated with car accidents will not be immediately obvious. This is why it is so important that victims seek a thorough medical evaluation. Any person that is injured in a car accident may be able to seek some measure of justice through a personal injury claim. Damages in a civil claim can help cover lost wages, medical bills, and pain and suffering.
