What Compensation Can I Recover After a Pedestrian Accident in Trenton, NJ?

After a pedestrian accident in Trenton, you may recover compensation for medical expenses, lost income, future care, pain and suffering, and other losses caused by the crash. What you can recover depends on your injuries, insurance coverage, and the circumstances involved.

Because New Jersey follows a no-fault insurance system, personal injury protection may cover qualifying medical expenses even when you were walking rather than driving. Which policy applies can depend on your own auto coverage or coverage available through a household member.

If a driver was responsible for hitting you, the driver’s liability insurance may provide additional compensation. The available amount can depend on the driver’s policy limits, the extent of your losses, and how responsibility for the crash is determined.

When the at-fault driver has no insurance or too little coverage, uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage may provide another source of payment. Whether it applies depends on the insurance policies available to you and their coverage limits.

Under New Jersey’s comparative negligence rules, your compensation may be reduced if you share responsibility for the crash. If your share of fault is greater than 50%, you generally cannot recover damages from the other party.

In New Jersey, you have two years from the crash date to file a personal injury lawsuit. Different deadlines can apply when a government agency or public employee is involved, so those claims may require earlier action.

To support your claim, keep your medical records, bills, wage information, photographs, insurance letters, and other crash-related documents together. These records can help show your expenses and how the injury has affected your work and daily life.

If an insurer disputes responsibility or the value of your claim, a Trenton pedestrian accident lawyer can review the available insurance and communicate with the insurer on your behalf. An attorney can also explain how New Jersey law may affect your case.
