Handling Car Accident Cases in Mercer County

Mercer County, New Jersey is the state’s capital county and a hub for culture, education, and commerce. It is home to 366,000 people and five universities and colleges, including Princeton University. Located midway between Philadelphia and New York, the county is a busy thoroughfare for cars, trucks, and other motor vehicles. Businessmen and women as well as other professionals, students, and New Jersey residents flood the county’s roads and highways on a daily basis. Unfortunately, however, not all drivers are concerned for the safety of others.

The Right to Pursue an Accident Claim

Whether you are traveling along the I-95 for half an hour or down Lawrence Road for five minutes, you can be involved in a car accident. While all car accidents may not be predictable, they are preventable. The most important fact to understand after you’ve been injured in a car crash in Mercer County is that you don’t have to face the challenges of recovery on your own. If your accident was caused by the recklessness or negligence of another driver or other party, you have the right to hold them accountable in civil court. By getting the money you need for recovery, you not only obtain justice for the harm you’ve suffered, but also as a means to protect your future. But how do you know you have a valid claim?

Negligence and At-Fault Parties

There are a variety of accident circumstances which can be considered negligence and deserve legal action. While it is good to verify the validity of your claim with a lawyer, it is always best to have a general idea about whether or not you have the right to file suit. If your injury accident was caused by any of, but not limited to, the following, you may be entitled to file a car accident claim in New Jersey:

  • Distracted driving
  • Speeding
  • Failing to yield the right-of-way
  • Dangerous intersection
  • Hazardous roadway
  • Auto defects
  • Drunk driving

Depending on the cause of the accident, a number of different parties may be held responsible for your injuries. A knowledgeable attorney can help you build a strong case against any of the following potentially at-fault parties:

  • Other drivers
  • State or city agency responsible for road design or upkeep
  • Negligent auto manufacturers
