Middletown Car Accident Lawyer

Middletown is one of Monmouth County’s largest townships, stretching from the Bayshore to Lincroft and the Navesink River. The Garden State Parkway runs through the township, Route 35 carries heavy shopping and commuter traffic, and Route 36 links the Bayshore towns to Sandy Hook and the beaches. Busy intersections, fast highways and summer traffic make crashes a real risk, and the insurance company starts working to limit what it pays you almost immediately.

What to Do After a Car Accident in Middletown

1. Call 911 and get medical care. Middletown Police, or State Police on the Parkway, will create the official report.
2. Document the scene. Take photos of the vehicles, the road, signs and your injuries. Get the other driver’s license, plate and insurance information, and witness contacts.
3. Ask about video. Store and traffic cameras along Route 35 and Route 36 may have recorded the crash, but footage can be erased quickly.
4. Don’t give a recorded statement to the other insurer. See what not to say after a car accident.
5. Don’t accept a quick settlement. Early offers rarely cover future medical care and lost income.
6. Call a Middletown car accident lawyer. We’ll explain your options at no cost.

Middletown Car Accident FAQ

I was hit while riding a bike or e-bike on Route 36. Do I have a claim?

Often, yes. Drivers must give cyclists room under New Jersey’s Safe Passing Law. PIP from your own or a household member’s auto policy usually pays your medical bills first, and you may also have a claim against the driver. Coverage for some e-bikes can work differently, so talk to a lawyer about your situation.

How long do I have to file a car accident claim in Middletown?

Most car accident lawsuits in New Jersey must be filed within 2 years. Claims involving public entities can require notice within 90 days, so call early.

A police or government vehicle was involved in my crash. Can I still make a claim?

Often, yes, but claims against public entities follow special rules under the Tort Claims Act, including a notice of claim that is usually due within 90 days. Talk to a lawyer quickly so the deadline isn’t missed.

Can I recover if I was partly at fault?

Yes, as long as you were not more than 50% at fault. Your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault.
