Help for Highway Accident Injury Claims Throughout New Jersey
New Jersey is full of highways, from major freeways and toll roads to smaller state routes that pass through cities, where traffic flow is interrupted by stoplights and motorists drive in the vicinity of pedestrian traffic. When accidents occur on highways of any kind, victims find themselves facing the complex auto claims process in NJ.
Trying to make sense of the state’s no-fault insurance system, how PIP insurance applies to your situation, and numerous other concerns can add to the stress you’re facing after an accident. Professional legal help allows you to focus on your recovery while an experienced advocate pursues fair compensation on your behalf.
Your Rights to Highway Accident Compensation
Victims injured by someone else’s negligence in New Jersey have the right to pursue compensation for their losses, but they first need to establish that the defendant is liable for their accident. In the case of highway accidents, this includes proving the following:
- A duty of care owed to you, typically by motorists but potentially by entities responsible for road design, highway maintenance, unsafe road conditions, or defective guardrails
- A breach of this duty, which may encompass unsafe vehicle operation, inadequate maintenance of the highway, or the manufacture of defective vehicle parts or barriers
- Causation of the highway accident due at least in part to this breach of duty
- Damages arising out of the highway accident, from injuries and medical bills to lost income and pain and suffering
An experienced accident attorney at DiTomaso Law can handle every challenge of establishing the legal elements of a negligence claim for you.
Identifying Causes of Highway Accidents
Evidence of negligence is critical to the success of your claim. Often, highway accidents involve one or more types of negligence.
Common causes of highway accidents include:
- Speeding
- Distracted driving
- Drunk driving
- Tailgating, or following too closely
- Wrong-way driving
- Unsafe lane changes
- Failure to yield, especially when merging onto the highway
- Failure to adjust to dangerous driving conditions
While many highway accidents result from some type of driver error, our attorneys consider your case from every angle to hold all possible defendants accountable. Depending on the specific circumstances, that may mean investigating suspected vehicle or roadway defects that could give rise to product liability cases or building a case against a government entity that failed to maintain the highway in a safe condition for motorists.
Documenting Highway Accident Damages
Receiving fair compensation for your claim requires you to establish all the types and extent of the damages you have faced. We painstakingly document our clients’ losses to ensure they receive the compensation they deserve.
- We use medical records and receipts for care to establish the severity of your injuries, their impact on your life, and the medical and rehabilitation costs you have incurred.
- In the case of ongoing care needs, we work with medical experts to project what future care might be necessary and with financial experts to estimate the costs.
- We document income loss through statements that demonstrate your missed time at work and the earnings loss that accompanies it.
- If your injuries have a long-term impact on your capacity to work, we collaborate with expert witnesses to demonstrate that your future earning potential has been reduced and to accurately project the financial impact of your disability.
- When injuries lead to other economic costs, like a need to renovate your home or replace your vehicle for accessibility purposes, we use all receipts and invoices to substantiate these costs and how they relate to your highway accident.
- To successfully make a compelling case for non-economic damages that fairly compensate you, we evaluate all of the personal, physical, and emotional impacts of the highway accident and the injuries it has caused. We put together a detailed account that gives the opposing side, or a judge or jury in court, a glimpse into just how much the accident has affected you.
Our meticulous process of documenting damages has contributed to our firm’s record of success, including case results of hundreds of thousands of dollars, over $1 million, and even upwards of $10 million.

Frequently Asked Questions About Highway Accident Claims in New Jersey
Drivers on New Jersey highways can be found at fault for many different types of negligent conduct, including speeding, not maintaining proper following distance, failing to yield, changing lanes unsafely, driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, and driving while distracted. Less commonly, another party other than a driver may face liability, including the manufacturer of defective vehicle components that contribute to the accident through dangerous malfunctions.
Fault for highway accidents can be complicated, but a thorough investigation can uncover all of the facts needed to establish liability.
Yes, you should call the police after a crash that occurs on any New Jersey highway. State law generally requires motorists to report a collision to law enforcement if it causes injury or death to any party or property damage of more than $500. Even a relatively small amount of cosmetic damage to a car can exceed this threshold, and there could be additional damage that isn’t visible.
Calling the police to report an accident ensures that you have a record of the crash. When interacting with the police and the other driver, stick to the facts and avoid making any statements, such as an apology, that could be misinterpreted as admitting fault.
If the driver who hit you fled the scene, it’s particularly important that you consult an attorney for help managing your potential claim. A hit and run driver can make your case more complicated, but that doesn’t mean you won’t be able to recover compensation. We can conduct an investigation to attempt to identify the at-fault motorist. If the driver who left the scene can’t be identified or turns out not to have auto insurance, we may be able to pursue a claim through your uninsured motorist (UM) coverage instead, if you’re covered by an auto policy in New Jersey.
Many different factors influence how much your claim is worth. Since every case involves unique circumstances, each case’s value is also unique. Some of the factors that may impact your claim include:
— The severity of your injuries
— How extensive your medical treatment has been
— Whether you have ongoing care needs or disability
— The extent of the impact on your income and future earning potential
— Whether you promptly reported the accident and received medical attention, which serves to document the occurrence of the crash and link your injuries to it
— The number and types of defendants involved
— The amount of insurance coverage available
— The extent of the defendant’s negligence
— Whether you’re facing any comparative negligence for contributing to the accident
While you don’t have control over many of these factors, one important aspect of your case that you do have control over is your choice of attorney. Rather than representing yourself in a highway accident injury claim or leaving your case to a general practitioner with limited experience in this area, choose DiTomaso Law to handle your case. With our history of successful traffic accident cases, we’re well-equipped to secure the outcome you deserve.
