If you have been injured in a car accident in Garfield, New Jersey, a local lawyer can help you navigate the claims process. New Jersey is a no-fault insurance state, which means your own insurance typically covers medical bills regardless of fault. However, you may still have the right to sue a negligent driver if your injuries meet the serious injury threshold under state law.
What Does a Car Accident Lawyer in Garfield Cost?
Most car accident lawyers in New Jersey work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if you win. The typical fee is 33% to 40% of the settlement or court award. Some lawyers charge additional costs for filing fees, expert witnesses, or medical records. Costs vary by case complexity and lawyer. This is general information and not legal advice.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the time limit to file a car accident lawsuit in Garfield New Jersey?
In New Jersey, you generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. This is called the statute of limitations. If you miss this deadline, you may lose your right to seek compensation.
How does New Jersey no-fault insurance affect my car accident claim?
New Jersey is a no-fault state, meaning your own Personal Injury Protection (PIP) insurance pays for your medical expenses and lost wages up to your policy limits. You can only sue the at-fault driver if your injuries meet the serious injury threshold, such as permanent injury or significant disfigurement.
What damages can I recover in a Garfield car accident case?
You may recover economic damages like medical bills, lost wages, and property damage. You may also recover non-economic damages for pain and suffering, but only if your injuries are serious enough to meet the legal threshold. Punitive damages are rare and require proof of reckless conduct.
