What to Do After a Car Accident in Monmouth County

1. Call 911

Ensure everyone’s safety and file a police report. This is crucial documentation.

2. Get Medical Treatment

Even if you feel fine, injuries like whiplash or concussions may show up later. Visit nearby hospitals like Riverview Medical Center or Jersey Shore University Medical Center.

3. Take Photos & Gather Info

Exchange insurance info and document the scene — damage, weather, road signs, skid marks, etc.

4. Contact a Car Accident Lawyer

Do not give recorded statements to insurers until you’ve spoken with a personal injury attorney.

Statute of Limitations in NJ Car Accident Cases

In New Jersey, you typically have 2 years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. For property damage, it’s 6 years. Don’t wait — evidence disappears, and witnesses forget details.

What If I Was Partially At Fault?

New Jersey follows modified comparative negligence laws. You can still recover damages if you were less than 50% at fault, but your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault.
