Monmouth County, NJ and Middlesex County, NJ Rear-End Accidents
Dedicated Attorneys Use Their Experience and Resources to Fight for Clients Who Have Suffered Rear-End Accidents in New Brunswick, NJ
Being the victim of a rear-end collision accident can be a shocking experience — you rarely see the other vehicle coming up from behind you, and even if you do, in many cases there is little you can do to avoid the accident, especially if you are stopped at a stop sign or red light or are stuck in traffic. When your vehicle has been rear-ended, in all likelihood the other driver is at fault for the accident. Even though a rear-end collision accident may seem like a straightforward claim, the insurance companies and defense law firms will do everything they can to avoid paying you the full compensation you need and deserve.

Frequently Asked Questions about Rear-End Collision Accidents in Monmouth County, NJ and Middlesex County, NJ
FAQ: Do I need an attorney if the other driver just wants to settle? Although it can be tempting to just accept a settlement check after your rear-end collision accident so that you can pay some bills and begin to move on with your life, you should never accept a settlement without first speaking with an experienced rear-end collision accident attorney. An attorney can review any settlement offer you’ve received and can advise you as to whether it represents full and fair compensation for both your past and future damages. If necessary, an attorney can negotiate on your behalf to potentially obtain an even better settlement offer than the one you were given and allow you to maximize your compensation.
FAQ: The other driver claims that I cut him/her off. Can I still make a claim for compensation?Potentially yes. Although there is a presumption that the rear vehicle in a rear-end collision accident is responsible for the accident (for failing to maintain a safe distance), the rear motorist can overcome the presumption by showing that the driver who got rear-ended contributed to the accident or there was another external cause of the accident. If it is shown that you carelessly or unlawfully cut off the driver who rear-ended you, under New Jersey’s modified comparative negligence rules your financial recovery may be reduced by your share of fault; if you are found to be more than 50 percent responsible for the accident, you may be precluded from compensation.
