New Jersey Motor Vehicle Accident Lawyers

Trusted Injury Lawyers Skillfully Advocate for Auto Accident Victims Throughout New Jersey

The statistics for auto accidents in the United States are certainly staggering. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), approximately 5.5 million auto accidents occur annually.  Even more troubling is the fact that these accidents result in more than two million injured people and 30,000 fatalities each year. About 600 of those fatalities are in New Jersey alone.

New Jersey residents are particularly susceptible to auto accidents because so many residents commute daily to work in nearby New York and Philadelphia.  At Team Law, our auto accident lawyers have more than 60 years of experience helping motor vehicle accident victims get the justice they deserve.

Although our society in New Jersey relies heavily on driving, these numbers don’t truly have an impact on our lives until you or a loved one become an auto accident victim yourself. If you or a loved one have been the victim of an auto accident, you need the best possible lawyer in your corner.

Common Causes of New Jersey Motor Vehicle Accidents

Despite the millions of auto accidents that occur every year, there are some common fact patterns that overwhelmingly cause most accidents.  Those causes include:

• Distracted Driving. Distracted driving accounts for approximately 18 percent of all auto accidents and includes driving while texting, talking on the phone, adjusting the radio, adjusting a navigation system, eating or even caring for a child.

• Fatigued Driving.  After distracted driving, fatigued driving – also known as drowsy driving –  is the leading cause of car accidents, accounting for 100,000 crashes annually.

• Aggressive Driving.  We have all seen aggressive drivers endangering others on the New Jersey roads. Signs of aggressive driving include tailgating, excessive speeding, flashing lights, frequent or illegal lane changes, obscene gestures, and disregarding traffic signs and signals.

• Impaired Driving.  Driving while under the influence of drugs or alcohol causes thousands of traffic fatalities every year—statistics show that approximately one death every 51 minutes is caused by impaired driving in the United States. If you have been the victim of a drunk driving accident, you can learn more about New Jersey laws by visiting Team Law’s DUI/DWI page.

• Speeding.  Ignoring the local speed limit is dangerous. That speed limit is calculated based on the specific road’s geography, anticipated traffic, and character of the town. Speeding provides the driver with less time to react to road conditions and magnifies the severity of an accident.

• Weather Conditions.  Driving becomes more dangerous when roads are slick, or visibility is compromised. Driving during extreme weather is not always avoidable in New Jersey, and even the safest driver can become an auto accident victim in adverse weather conditions.

• Vehicle Defects.  Sometimes the cause of your auto accident isn’t a driver at all.  Sometimes the company that manufactured or designed your car makes a mistake.  If this is true, that company can also be held responsible if the defect caused an accident.

It might be difficult to determine the cause of your auto accident.  We have the resources to help. Call the experienced New Jersey auto accident lawyers at Team Law so that we can begin investigating today.
