Commercial truck accidents on Routes 1 and 206 frequently result in catastrophic damage. We investigate driver logs, trucking violations, and company policies to hold all liable parties accountable.

Know Your Rights After an Accident in New Jersey
Acting fast after an injury is critical. Here are a few laws every Mercer County accident victim should know:
Legal Rule | What It Means |
|---|---|
2-Year Statute of Limitations | You have two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. |
Comparative Negligence Rule | You can still recover compensation if you’re less than 51% at fault. Your payout is reduced by the percentage of fault attributed to you. |
Contingency Fees | Most NJ personal injury lawyers, including us, take one-third of any recovery. |
Don’t delay. Missing a deadline or failing to preserve evidence can reduce or eliminate your chance of recovery.
What To Do After an Accident in Mercer County, NJ
Call 911 and request police if there’s an injury.
Seek immediate medical treatment. Use a local ER or urgent care center.

Mercer County Personal Injury Claim FAQs
How much do most personal injury attorneys charge?
Most personal injury lawyers work on contingency, taking an agreed-upon share of any settlement or verdict so you pay nothing up front and only owe fees if you recover.
How much is the average car accident settlement in NJ?
Average car-accident settlements in New Jersey can vary widely based on injury severity, fault and insurance limits.
What are the odds of winning a wrongful death lawsuit?
Strong evidence, medical documentation, and legal representation are key. We help families build a compelling case from the very beginning.
