Piscataway Car Accident Lawyer

Piscataway is a busy township of office parks, warehouses, neighborhoods and Rutgers University campuses, just across the Raritan River from New Brunswick. Interstate 287 runs through the township, Stelton Road and Centennial Avenue carry heavy commercial and truck traffic, and River Road, Hoes Lane and Washington Avenue connect to the Busch and Livingston campuses. Freight rail lines also cross local roads. With that much traffic, crashes happen often, and the insurance company starts working to limit what it pays you almost immediately.

Piscataway Car Accident FAQ

I was hit by a box truck on I-287. Who is responsible?

Possibly several parties, including the driver, the trucking or delivery company, the cargo loader or a maintenance company. Each may carry its own insurance, so evidence such as driver logs and black box data should be preserved quickly.

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

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.

I was in a crash at a railroad crossing. Who could be responsible?

It depends on what happened. A driver who stopped suddenly or ignored the signals may be at fault, and in some cases the railroad or the party responsible for the crossing’s signals and upkeep may share responsibility. These cases need early investigation.

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.
