How Soon Do I Need To Talk To A Lawyer After My Car Accident?
People always ask me after their involvement in an accident, “At what point can we sue or should we sue right away?” Well, the word sue connotes filing an actual legal pleading in the court process. There is a statute of limitation in the state of New Jersey which means that the amount of time you have before you can bring a lawsuit is two years here in the state of New Jersey. So from the date of the accident, you have a period of two years before we have to commence legal proceedings.
It is very rare that we’re going to commence legal proceedings at the very beginning of the case. In the beginning, it’s the time to investigate all the facts about what happened, to learn about your injuries, to see them through, to see what may happen in the future because we never want to follow the lawsuit too early on when we don’t know what your potential is into the future in terms of what loss of income you may experience?
What may happen to your family? What may happen to your ability to work? Your ability to function in the way did before the accident. My team of Auto Accident lawyers was all trained specifically to know when that opportune time is to file the litigation on your behalf to get you the just and fair compensation that you deserve after what you have been through and what you may go through the rest of your life.

What Should I do If It Was a Hit & Run?
What should I do after a hit & run?
Oftentimes in New Jersey, people are involved in hit-and-run automobile accidents. So the other driver struck your vehicle and took off. I don’t want you to run and chase down the vehicle, just remain put. If you have a chance to observe the license plate of the other driver, of course, write that down. If not, don’t panic there’s still a solution, first, you are of course seeking medical treatment, bringing the authorities to the scene, going to the hospital, and doing whatever you need to do to take care of yourself to make sure you’re okay.
However, in New Jersey, it is your automobile insurance under something called “Uninsured Motorist Coverage” that will give it an avenue for us to pursue on your behalf for what you’ve been through or what you may go through in the future. Don’t want to sue that because the other driver took off and the police informed you that they couldn’t locate the other driver, that there is no avenue to pursue just compensation for what you’ve been through.
So, please seek legal advice immediately because this can get quite complicated but we here at the Grossman Law Firm have been through thousands of these types of situations we’re to help you with a compassionate voice, we have the knowledge and the skills to help you through this difficult process.
Can I Sue My Own Insurance Company After An Auto Accident?
What About My Insurance Company?
I understand that you may be worried about bringing your own insurance company into this whole mess. The reality is that it’s the law in New Jersey. Every time an accident occurs, the insurance company is not surprised. Your insurance company knows and understands that that’s why you pay for your insurance. Then they have to supply you with medical benefits and certain other benefits that are in your plan.
Oftentimes they don’t want to pay. They’re going to cut you off from your care. The lawyers here at the Grossman Law Firm will be involved in the intricacies of how to hold your insurance company responsible for your medical bills. In addition to that, if the other vehicle itself has low insurance. Meaning their coverage is low in terms of liability coverage. In the state of New Jersey, it’s actually very common. You have to then turn towards your own policy under something called Uninsured Motorists Coverage.
When you do so we will have to hold your insurance company responsible for the acts of the other driver because most of the time the other driver has such low insurance coverage. We are experts in this area of law. We deal with this every single day for the last 25 years. We do it with a compassionate voice. We’re going to help you get through this difficult time.
