Whiplash is the most common injury, accounting for up to 70% of injuries from rear-end collisions. This soft-tissue injury can lead to chronic pain in the neck and elsewhere if not treated.

Fifteen to 20 percent of injuries from serious crashes result in concussions and traumatic brain injuries. In New Jersey alone, 1,400 to 1,800 people are hospitalized each year from motor vehicle crashes.

Broken bones are common in crashes, especially in the arms, legs, ribs, and wrists of drivers and passengers. Nationwide, 4% to 7% of emergency room fracture visits are due to motor vehicle collisions.

Herniated discs, vertebral fractures, and spinal cord injuries are among the most common and serious injuries in motor vehicle crashes, especially in rear-end, head-on, and side-impact collisions. Paralysis is possible in the most severe cases.

Common Types of Car Accident Injuries and Claims

Automobile accidents in NJ can wreak havoc on the bodies of drivers and passengers. Whiplash and neck injuries, back and spinal damage, broken bones, concussions, and soft-tissue injuries can result. In addition, there can be an emotional impact. We work to ensure that every part of your recovery is taken into account.

According to figures from the CDC and the New Jersey Department of Transportation, the Garden State’s most common motor vehicle crash injuries are:

The Personal Injury Lawsuit Process in New Jersey

A personal injury lawsuit is a legal claim brought by a person who has been injured because of someone else’s negligence or wrongdoing. The injured person sues the responsible party to receive financial compensation for their injuries and losses, including medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

How Personal Injury Lawsuits Work From Start to Finish

Most cases settle smoothly without ever going to court. When you become a Sobo & Sobo client, we will guide you gently through every step: investigation, paperwork, negotiations, and trial. We explain every step along the way in everyday plain language so nothing feels overwhelming.

Filing Deadlines and New Jersey’s Statute of Limitations

In New Jersey, you generally have two years from the date of the crash to file suit against the driver who caused the accident. This deadline is strictly enforced. Waiting even a few months can hurt your case. Memories fade, witnesses disappear, and medical records become harder to obtain. The sooner we start, the stronger your case will be.

What Damages Can You Claim in a Personal Injury Case?

Economic damages include medical expenses, lost wages, essential services, and even funeral expenses. Non-economic damages like pain, suffering, and the loss of enjoyment of life can be available if your injury qualifies as serious. In life-changing or catastrophic cases, additional compensation may be in order.

How Lawsuits Work
Filing Deadlines
What Can You Claim

Road-related injuries are common in New Jersey, with more than 60,000 people injured each year. Whether it’s a rear-end crash in rush-hour traffic on Route 3, a tractor-trailer wreck on I-295, or a motorcycle down on the Atlantic City Expressway, we know how New Jersey’s legal system will affect you. We make sure your medical bills get paid fast, and if your injuries are serious enough, we assess the at-fault driver for the full pain-and-suffering compensation you deserve.

A patch of ice outside a strip mall in Paramus, a broken step in a Newark apartment building, or a wet floor with no warning sign can change everything. In New Jersey, property owners have a legal duty to keep their premises safe. Thousands of slip-and-fall victims end up in emergency rooms across the state every year, especially during our tough winters. We help you get you the premises liability compensation you’re entitled to when the premises aren’t as safe as they should be.

When a doctor, nurse, or hospital falls below the accepted standard of care, or when you’re hurt on the job, it feels like a double betrayal. Workplace injuries usually start with workers’ compensation benefits, but in many cases third parties are liable for injuries. We explain every option in plain language and handle the details so you can focus on healing. Our medical malpractice lawyers are here to guide you every step of the way.

Common Types of Personal Injury Cases in New Jersey

Someone else’s carelessness can turn your life upside-down wherever you are: on highways, on quiet suburban streets, even in parking lots. Accidents happen everywhere from the Garden State Parkway to the Turnpike, from construction sites accidents to neighborhood sidewalks injuries. No one plans to be injured, but if you are, we are prepared to stand at your side. We guide New Jersey residents through accidents and injuries with clear language and steady support you can count on.

Working with Medical Experts to Establish Damages

We team up with respected New Jersey spine surgeons, orthopedic specialists, and life-care planners to document not just what happened, but how it’s changed your life now and for years to come. This is the foundation for maximum compensation.

Negotiating Settlements and Preparing for Trial

More than 95% of New Jersey personal injury cases settle without going to court, and we’re proud of the full, fair settlements we secure every day. But when the insurance company won’t play fair, our trial attorneys are ready, willing, and able to take your case all the way to a New Jersey jury.

FAQs About New Jersey Personal Injury Lawyers

Generally two years from the date of injury. Talking to a New Jersey personal injury lawyer early helps protect your options.

Many minor car accidents settle smoothly, but even small injuries can have lasting effects. A quick, free chat with us can give you peace of mind.

Nothing upfront. We get paid only if we recover money for you. All of that is covered clearly in our agreement to represent you.

Your own uninsured or underinsured coverage may help. We’ll explore every available path so you’re not left carrying the burden.

New Jersey uses modified comparative fault, what some people call the “51% rule.” That means certain kinds of compensation are altered depending on which driver is more at fault for the accident.

We use police reports, traffic-camera footage, black-box data, witness statements, and accident-reconstruction experts to prove exactly who caused the crash, ensuring your percentage of fault is fair and accurate.

Some resolve in months, others take longer. We keep things moving as steadily as possible while making sure nothing is rushed.
