Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do after a personal injury accident in Elizabeth, New Jersey?

New Jersey is a no-fault state, so your PIP coverage pays initial medical expenses regardless of fault. However, if your injuries meet the verbal or limited tort threshold, you can step outside no-fault and sue the at-fault driver for pain and suffering. Elizabeth’s high-traffic roads and industrial areas make accident claims common — documenting injuries thoroughly from day one is essential.

How long do personal injury claims take in Union County, New Jersey?

Straightforward auto accident claims with clear liability can settle in three to nine months. Cases involving serious injuries, disputed liability, or uninsured drivers take longer — often one to three years if litigation is required. New Jersey courts have significant backlogs, making thorough preparation and early filing important for clients who cannot afford a prolonged process.
