With a lawyer negotiating for you, however, an insurance company will have no choice but to treat you fairly.

Common Causes of Car Accidents in Bloomfield, NJ

Car accidents often occur due to driver negligence. In personal injury law, negligence is the failure to use a normal or reasonable amount of care, resulting in harm or injury to others. If a driver is negligent and this causes a car accident in New Jersey, the driver’s auto insurance company may have to pay for the damages.

Driver negligence and recklessness can lead to many different types of devastating automobile accidents, including:

Drunk driving accidents
Hit-and-run accidents
Head-on collisions
Rear-end collisions
Rollover accidents
T-bone accidents
Left-hand turn accidents
Lane-change accidents
Sideswipe accidents
High-speed collisions
Multivehicle pileups
No-contact accidents

Our Bloomfield car accidents attorneys have experience handling car, truck, motorcycle, bus, rideshare, taxi, bicycle and pedestrian accident cases. We understand all of the most common causes of car accidents in New Jersey, including:

Distracted driving
Driving while impaired
Drowsy driving
Reckless or aggressive driving
Tailgating
Failing to yield
Disobeying traffic laws
Road defects

Defective or malfunctioning parts

If you’re not sure who or what caused your car accident, we can return to the scene and conduct a comprehensive investigation. No matter what caused your accident, our car accident attorneys at Brady Reilly & Cardoso, LLC can help you understand your rights and how to recover fair financial compensation.

How Does an Insurance Claim Work in New Jersey?

New Jersey is unique in that it uses a “choice” no-fault insurance law. This means that drivers often must turn to their own insurance companies first to obtain financial benefits. In New Jersey, all drivers must purchase at least $15,000 in personal injury protection (PIP) coverage. This coverage will pay for the driver’s medical expenses, regardless of fault for the car accident.

There is an exception, however, if the driver chose to purchase “unlimited right to sue” insurance rather than “limited right to sue” insurance. With unlimited right to sue insurance, a driver does not have to depend on his or her own PIP coverage for benefits. Instead, the driver will have the right to file a claim against the other driver’s insurance provider if the other driver caused a car accident.

There is another exception involving a serious injury threshold. According to New Jersey Statutes Annotated Section 39:6A-8, if a crash victim suffers a bodily injury that results in significant scarring or disfigurement, dismemberment, displaced fractures, a permanent injury, the loss of a fetus, or death, the victim can bring a lawsuit against the at-fault party even with limited right to sue insurance.

Will You Need to File a Lawsuit?

The vast majority of car accident claims in New Jersey are resolved at the settlement stage, with no need for either party to go to trial to resolve the dispute. You can most likely achieve a successful settlement from your insurance provider or the insurance carrier of the at-fault driver without needing to go to trial, especially with help from an attorney.

If, however, the insurance company refuses to offer fair compensation for your injuries and losses, our lawyers are always prepared to go to court. We can let you know if you have grounds to bring one or more defendants to court, as well as whether this is the right legal action for you.

Compensation for Car Crash Victims

At Brady Reilly & Cardoso, LLC, we know how costly a car accident can be – both economically and non-economically. A car accident can cost thousands of dollars in medical expenses and vehicle repairs, as well as affect you in intangible ways, such as by causing immense pain and suffering. We will work hard to obtain fair financial compensation for all of these losses for you and your family.

The financial compensation that may be available if you are injured in a car crash includes:

Hospital bills and medical care
Property damage repairs
Present and future losses of income
Pain and suffering
Emotional distress
Permanent disfigurement or disability
Lost quality of life
Loss of consortium
Punitive damages

Our attorneys can help you estimate the value of your car accident claim. Then, we can represent you during insurance claim negotiations or an injury trial in pursuit of maximum financial compensation.

If you ever find yourself in the unfortunate situation of being injured in a car accident, look no further! Forget all those big billboard lawyers and call this firm immediately. Diane Cordoso handled 2 cases for me... I had the bad luck of being hit more than once in a short period of time.... Diane, Maria, her assistant, and the entire team are compassionate, professional, and are perfect examples of what you need in these situations. They communicate every step of the way and are always on the ball. I sincerely hope to never have to use their services again lol... I've had enough careless drivers hit and injure me thanks... BUT God forbid I'm ever in that horrible situation again, I know who to call. If your attorney isn't getting the job done, call this firm! TODAY!

Great service provided from day 1. I would recommend to all friends and family.

hey hi, it's Keidaï

Really appreciated the thoughtful, proactive, kind, efficient, and respectful interaction during a time of tragedy and shock that I had never experienced before. I called and asked some questions about how they do business, after researching a bit online on what to ask a personal injury lawyer and find a good fit – I strongly advise anyone to do the same and not make a rushed decision. I highly recommend working with the team. I'm very glad I went them in the end – thank you for your help and for standing up for me when I wasn't able to. PS Diane is awesome (:
