• Failure to yield or obey traffic signals

What to Do After a Car Accident in Middlesex County

1. Call 911

Report the accident to the police and request emergency medical care if needed. Ask for a copy of the accident report.

2. Get Medical Treatment

Visit the ER or your doctor — even if you feel okay. Some injuries (like concussions or internal bleeding) don’t show symptoms right away.

3. Document the Scene

Take photos of the vehicles, road conditions, and any visible injuries. Collect witness names and contact info.

4. Speak with a Car Accident Lawyer

Statute of Limitations for Car Accident Claims in NJ

You typically have 2 years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. For property damage alone, the deadline is 6 years. If the claim involves a government vehicle or roadway hazard, you may need to file a Notice of Claim within 90 days.

Time is critical — evidence fades and insurers move fast.
