Frequently Asked Questions about Pedestrian Accidents in New Jersey

Are there traffic laws that are specific to pedestrians in New Jersey?

Yes. There are laws that are aimed at ensuring the safety of pedestrians. These laws include:

– Yielding to the right-of-way motor vehicles when crossing in areas other than at crosswalk intersections
– Obeying walk/don’t walk instructions at crosswalks

Pedestrians, like motorists, are required to observe traffic laws. If a pedestrian is found to have violated traffic laws when they were involved in an accident, they may be found to be at fault for the accident and therefore not be eligible to recover compensation for their injuries.

However, it is important to discuss the details of your case with an experienced New Jersey pedestrian accident lawyer. The attorneys at Garber Law, P.C. will examine the circumstances of your case and determine the best approach to take in seeking compensation for your injuries and other damages.

I was injured in an accident with a hit-and-run driver. What should I do?

When an accident occurs, the law requires that all that is involved in the accident remain present until law enforcement officers arrive at the scene of the accident. However, not all motorists adhere to this when an accident occurs. If you have been injured in an accident involving a hit-and-run driver, you should contact the police immediately. You should also seek immediate medical treatment for your injuries.

If you are able to, take the contact information of any witnesses to the accident. Ask if any of them saw the license plate of the vehicle and note it down. You should contact an experienced New Jersey pedestrian accident lawyer as soon as possible. The team at Garber Law, P.C. will begin working on your case as soon as possible. We will review your case and determine the best approach to take to recover financial compensation for you.
