Perth Amboy Accident Lawyer

Perth Amboy sits where the Raritan River meets Raritan Bay, across the Arthur Kill from Staten Island. Route 440 carries traffic to and from the Outerbridge Crossing, Route 35 and the Victory Bridge connect the city to Sayreville and the Shore, and Smith Street, State Street and Convery Boulevard are crowded with local traffic, buses and pedestrians. Trucks serving the waterfront and industrial areas add to the mix. When a crash leaves you hurt, the insurance company starts working to limit what it pays you almost immediately.

Perth Amboy Car Accident FAQ

I was hit by a driver from Staten Island. Does New Jersey law still apply?

Generally, yes, for a crash that happened in New Jersey. Your own New Jersey PIP still pays your medical bills first, and we pursue the other driver’s insurance for your remaining losses, wherever that driver lives.

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

Most car accident lawsuits in New Jersey must be filed within 2 years. Claims involving public entities, such as NJ Transit or the Port Authority, can require notice within 90 days or sooner, so call early.

The driver who hit me was drunk. How does that affect my claim?

Driving while impaired is strong evidence of fault. The criminal case and your injury claim are separate, so you can seek compensation for your medical bills, lost wages and pain and suffering while charges are pending.

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.

How much does a Perth Amboy car accident lawyer cost?

The consultation is free, and you pay no attorney’s fee unless we recover compensation for you. We explain the fee agreement, including case costs, before you sign anything.
