Most personal injury lawsuits are the result of car accidents. Unfortunately, due to certain laws in New Jersey such as the “no-fault” rule and the “lawsuit limitation,” injured parties often feel like they are stuck and have no options. Luckily, a Abogado de Nueva Jersey like Leon Matchin can help you understand your options. Here are a few benefits of getting a lawyer for a personal injury.
Comprendiendo la Regla “Sin Culpa”
New Jersey has a “regla de no culpa which means that the injured party’s auto insurance pays for all of the medical treatment, even if it was someone else’s fault. This means that if you are rear-ended and get a concussion, your insurance company covers the bills even though it was not your fault. This is a tough rule for people who do not have strong insurance policies. It can cause many people to end up owing a lot of money out of pocket when the injuries are not their fault.
“Limitación de demanda”
New Jersey also has something called a “lawsuit limitation.” The limitation states that those injured in car accidents cannot file a lawsuit unless a physician has declared that the injuries are permanent and cannot be cured. The tricky part of this limitation is that injuries can be severe and life-changing, but not necessarily permanent. For example, an accident could lead to broken bones, surgery, physical therapy, and more. While technically the injury may be treatable, it still causes a lot of physical and mental pain and financial hardships. This is another area where a New Jersey attorney can help you.
