Pedestrian accidents may happen for several reasons. Sometimes, inclement weather and poor visibility are responsible. If drivers or pedestrians are unable to see one another, they may not stop an accident from happening in time. That said, in most cases, they are attributed to another motorist’s negligence. When a driver is not paying attention or violates the rules of the road, he or she may not see a pedestrian and cause an accident. Common examples of driver negligence can include texting while driving, driving while under the influence of drugs or alcohol, driving while fatigued, running red lights or stop signs and more.
When a person is injured due to the negligence of another party, they often want to pursue legal action to hold them responsible. This can be done by filing a personal injury claim. During this process, the injured party must prove that the other party was negligent. Doing so requires them to obtain evidence that shows the other party’s actions or behavior caused the accident as well as their injuries. While most accidents are due to the negligence of another driver, they can also be due to the negligence of a third party.
After being involved in an accident, victims often suffer from physical, financial, and emotional burdens. Because of this, they may be able to recover compensation. This provides coverage for the hardships endured as a result of the accident. Injured parties in New Jersey may be eligible to receive both economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages cover medical expenses, lost wages, the loss of future wages, and rehabilitation. Non-economic damages can cover emotional traumas such as the loss of enjoyment of life, pain and suffering, and the loss of independence.
When pursuing a personal injury claim, it is important to understand New Jersey’s statute of limitations. This is a deadline that requires the injured party to file a claim within a certain amount of time. If they fail to do so, they may lose their opportunity to pursue compensation from the negligent party. In the state of New Jersey, there is a two-year statute of limitations from the date of the accident.

While a lawsuit may not be able to reverse these effects, it can provide you with the rightful compensation to help you in your time of need.
