Why Choose Meirowitz & Wasserberg as Your New Jersey Car Accident Lawyer?
Roadblocks in the legal process can complicate even the most straightforward car accident claim. Insurance companies can be quick to deny or undervalue a claim.
Insurance companies know how to identify and take advantage of claimants who are unfamiliar with the claims process and unaware of their tactics. They may unfairly blame you or question the seriousness of your injury to protect their bottom lines. Some might give you the runaround, offering excuses about why your payment is late.
A skilled personal injury attorney can fight to ensure you have a completely different experience. When you work with one of the best car accident lawyers in New Jersey, you get an expert advocate who will negotiate fiercely and protect your rights.
Our experienced team is well-versed in state laws that cover car accidents and personal injuries. We are committed to maximizing recovery and will not hesitate to file a personal injury lawsuit if that’s the best path forward for your case.
“When you hire Meirowitz & Wasserberg, you hire a team of personal injury lawyers dedicated to fighting for your rights. We are not one of these corporations that don’t know the names of our clients or consider our clients simply numbers. That’s the reason why we’ve been able to recover hundreds of millions of dollars on behalf of our clients, because we put them first. – Attorney Sam Meirowitz, Meirowitz & Wasserberg

Compensation for a New Jersey Car Accident Claim
Compensation for damages in an auto accident case often depends on the circumstances of the incident and the plaintiff’s losses. Every case is different, but understanding the different types of damages available is helpful as you and your attorney work to build your case. Some of the most common types of damages in a personal injury case include:
- Past, current, and future medical expenses
- Lost wages
- Reduced earning capacity
- Pain and suffering, including emotional distress
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Wrongful death damages, if there were fatalities
When you work with us, our diligent New Jersey car accident attorneys will carefully investigate your case to determine the potential value of your damages. We make sure to account for every dollar and pursue maximum compensation on your behalf.
What Is the Time Limit to File a Car Accident Lawsuit in New Jersey?
Each state has a statute of limitations law that establishes a filing deadline for different types of civil lawsuits. New Jersey typically gives you two years from the accident date to file your personal injury claim.
Certain case-specific factors may change this time frame, but missing your deadline can mean permanently losing your right to file. Speak with an attorney as soon as possible to protect your rights and avoid mishaps like missing your filing deadline.
Is New Jersey a No-Fault State for Car Accidents?
New Jersey is one of 12 states with no-fault car insurance laws. This system aims to ease the burden on state courts by allowing injured parties to seek compensation from their own insurers first, instead of pursuing damages from an at-fault driver.
New Jersey’s no-fault law requires all drivers to carry property damage and personal injury coverage as part of their insurance policies. If your policy does not cover the total costs of your accident, you may be able to file a lawsuit against the party responsible for your accident, depending on the type of policy you carry.
New Jersey offers two approved categories of coverage. The basic package includes $5,000 in property damage protection and $15,000 in injury protection per person, with coverage up to $250,000 for severe or permanent injuries. Policyholders with basic coverage may not file a lawsuit for an accident, except in cases of serious injuries such as significant scarring, dismemberment, or permanent disability.
The standard policy also offers $15,000 in injury protection per person, up to $30,000 per accident. If your standard coverage falls short of your costs, you may sue for additional compensation, depending on your circumstances. An experienced attorney can explain further.
