What Compensation Can I Recover For My Clifton Car Accident?

Accident victims may seek to recover compensation for injuries they sustained in a car accident providing the accident was caused by negligence. In these situations, the victim is protected under personal injury law, which covers a broad range of accident types. 

Personal injury law provides that injured victims may be entitled to receive compensation for their injuries and other losses, including — but not limited to — any of the following:

  • All medical expenses, including doctor bills, hospital bills, surgery bills, bills for lab work, and medical tests
  • All future anticipated medical expenses that are directly related to the accident
  • Costs related to rehabilitative treatment 
  • Cost of prescription drugs 
  • Income that is lost due to injury recovery
  • Loss of future income in the form of diminished future earning capacity
  • Emotional pain and suffering
  • Mental anguish
  • Loss of enjoyment of life
  • Loss of companionship
  • Loss of earned sick time
  • Loss of earned vacation time

Car accidents may cause harm in ways both physical and emotional. While the monetary value of some of these losses is easily calculated — such as a hospital bill or the cost of a surgical procedure — other losses are immeasurable, such as loss of companionship. The court uses its discretion to assign a value to those losses that are immeasurable.

Clifton Car Accident Claims Must Be Filed In The New Jersey Courts Within Two Years  

Car accident claims fall under the domain of personal injury law. And in New Jersey, the statute of limitations — the legal deadline for filing a claim within a state’s civil court system — for personal injury cases is two years from when the accident occured. If a car accident victim does not file their personal injury claim in the New Jersey courts prior to this deadline running out, then they will have lost their opportunity to recover any compensation for their injuries. In the majority of circumstances, the New Jersey courts will dismiss the case outright.
