The average New Jersey driver will likely get into a car accident at some point in their life. Fortunately, most of these people, walk away with some minor injuries and mild car damage. The same cannot be said for those victims who suffer significant injuries. According to a report by the New Jersey Department of Transportation, more than 500 people are killed and thousands more injured in traffic accidents in New Jersey every year, which is why working with an auto accident attorney can come in handy when pursuing compensation.

If you have been injured in an accident through no fault of your own, contact a Bayonne Personal Injury Attorney to learn about your rights and legal options.

Common Auto Accident Claims 

Motor vehicles play a crucial role in the day-to-day lives of a large percentage of American citizens. From used cars to drive to school or work, to using trucks to deliver parcels across the country, there are always vehicles on the roads. This is good news for anyone looking to travel or send and receive packages, but can also mean trouble when some drivers are negligent.

At the Law Offices of Anthony Carbone, we handle a wide range of auto accidents including:

  • Car accidents
  • Motorcycle accidents
  • Truck accidents
  • Pedestrian accidents
  • Bicycle accidents
  • Bus accidents
  • Boat accidents
  • Aviation accidents

Types of Car Accidents

There are a wide variety of ways in which two vehicles can crash into each other, or one vehicle can get into an accident with an object or person. The type of auto accident you get into is a crucial detail because it informs the severity and nature of your injuries. In some cases, how an accident happened can be used to determine who was at fault.

Fender benders, otherwise called minor car accidents, are among the most common types of car collisions. Other types include:

  • Rear-end collisions
  • Head-on collisions
  • T-bone or side-impact accidents
  • Single-vehicle collisions
  • Multi-car or chain reaction accidents
  • Rollover crashes

Uninsured Driver Accidents

According to carinsurance.com, an estimated 14.9% of drivers in New Jersey were operating their vehicles without insurance in 2017, placing the state No. 14 in the United States for the percentage of uninsured drivers. These numbers are startling considering that an uninsured driver will likely be unable to pay damages, in the event, they cause an accident.

If you get injured in an accident with an uninsured driver, you will have to turn to your own underinsured motorist (UIM) policy for coverage. This is not easy simply because you are dealing with your own insurer, and you will need vigorous representation.
