Negligence Is the Foundation for All Personal Injury Claims

Under personal injury law, the party that caused the accident must have exhibited negligent behavior. Negligence is the key component in all personal injury claims, regardless of the type of accident. Just because you slipped on an icy sidewalk doesn’t mean that you can legally hold someone else responsible.

The at-fault party must have exhibited careless, reckless, negligent behavior that contributed to or caused the accident. Legal negligence must be demonstrated and it is not always easy to do. The individual that caused the accident will defend their actions, arguing that the injured party was at least partly responsible for the accident.

Time Limits for Filing Personal Injury Claims in New Jersey

Every state has what is known as statutes of limitations. Statutes of limitations are the legal timeframes for filing a claim in the state’s civil court system, and they vary depending upon the type of claim. In New Jersey, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is two years from the time the injury occurred.

Statutes of limitations are very important legal deadlines. The person who was injured must file a personal injury claim in the New Jersey courts prior to the end of this two-year period. If this deadline is not met, the courts will refuse to hear the case. More importantly, the injured victim will then be unable to recover any compensation for their injuries.

About Jersey City, NJ

The City of Jersey City is the second-most populous city in New Jersey and the largest city in the county seat of Hudson County. Jersey City is located across from the Hudson River from New York City. The area of present-day Jersey City was purchased from the Lenape Native Americans in the early 17th century and incorporated into the Dutch colony of New Netherlands. Much of what would become the current downtown area of Jersey City was laid out following the American Revolution. Jersey City was formally established by the state legislature in 1820; after the Civil War, Hudson City, Bergen City, and Greenville were incorporated into Jersey City. In the second half of the 19th century through the 20th century, Jersey City developed into an important manufacturing, transportation, and shipping hub. Beginning in the 1980s, Jersey City’s waterfront area was redeveloped into one of the U.S.’s largest banking and financial hubs, leading the area and the city as a whole to garner the nickname “Wall Street West”

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Personal Injury Accidents in Jersey City, NJ

What type of compensation can I get in a personal injury case?

Compensation is divided into three basic categories: (1) economic damages, (2) non-economic damages and (3) punitive damages. Punitive damages are only rarely available, in cases where the defendant intentionally caused you harm or took action that was especially shocking. In other cases, available damages include: Economic damages for your out-of-pocket expenses and losses, such as medical bills, physical therapy, property damage, lost wages and more. And Non-economic damages for your pain and suffering, emotional distress and loss of enjoyment of life.

Should I settle my personal injury claim with the insurance company or go to court?

The answer to this question varies based on the case. You should never settle without first talking to a personal injury lawyer. However, whether or not you should settle always depends upon the insurance company’s offer. You want to make sure any settlement award covers all of the future costs of your injury, not just the bills you already have. Our accident attorneys in Jersey City, NJ are here to negotiate with the insurance company to try to reach a fair settlement. If the insurance company refuses to agree to a fair amount, we’re fully prepared to litigate to protect your rights at trial.
