If you have been involved in a motor vehicle accident in the state of New Jersey, or if you are a New Jersey resident who was involved in a motor vehicle accident in another state, it is important for you to obtain legal representation from an experienced New Jersey car accident attorney as soon as possible, to ensure that you obtain all of the statutory benefits to which you are entitled, in addition to a monetary award for pain and suffering.

Generally, under New Jersey's No Fault Automobile Insurance Law, your own automobile insurance company is required to pay your medical bills regardless of fault; hence the term "No Fault Insurance." Unfortunately, this often also means that they control the nature and extent of you medical treatment regardless of your doctor's recommendations. Therefore, it is important for you to obtain legal representation as early on in the process as possible so your insurance company does not have the opportunity to deprive you the benefits that you paid for with your policy premiums.

Additionally, depending upon the circumstances of the accident and your insurance policy, you may be also entitled to income continuation benefits to replace lost income, essential services benefits to pay for services that you are no longer able to perform because of your injuries and Underinsured or Uninsured Motorist benefits. Your insurance company will not assist you in obtaining these benefits.
