New Jersey Motor Vehicle Accident Lawyers

All Practice Areas

A motor vehicle accident can change your life in an instant. One moment you’re commuting to work, picking up your kids, or running errands—and the next, you’re in a hospital room facing injuries, confusion, and uncertainty about the future. These are not just insurance claims. They are life-altering events that carry real physical, emotional, and financial consequences.

At The Epstein Law Firm, P.A., we represent individuals and families across New Jersey who’ve been injured—or lost loved ones—in serious vehicle collisions. With decades of experience, our team understands how devastating these crashes can be and how hard the road to recovery often is. That’s why we step in—to handle the legal battle so you can focus on healing.

What Causes Most Motor Vehicle Accidents in New Jersey?

Motor vehicle accidents are almost always preventable—and often, the result of someone’s careless or reckless behavior. Identifying the cause is key to holding the right parties accountable.

• Distracted Driving: Texting, eating, adjusting the GPS—it only takes a second of inattention to cause a lifetime of harm.

• Speeding: The faster someone drives, the less time they have to react and the more catastrophic the impact.

• Drunk or Drugged Driving: Impaired drivers are still far too common on New Jersey roads, and their decisions often have deadly consequences.

• Reckless Driving: Tailgating, weaving through traffic, and ignoring red lights are more than aggressive—they’re dangerous.

• Bad Weather: Snow, rain, fog, or black ice can make driving treacherous. Failing to adapt to these conditions is negligence, plain and simple.

Types of Motor Vehicle Accident Cases We Handle

Every crash is different—but the aftermath is always serious. We represent victims in all types of motor vehicle cases, including:

• Car Accidents: From rear-end collisions to highway pileups, we handle it all.

• Truck Accidents: Collisions involving commercial trucks are often catastrophic and involve complex layers of liability.

• Motorcycle Accidents: Riders have virtually no protection—and too often, negligent drivers just “don’t see them.”

• Pedestrian Accidents: Whether in a crosswalk, parking lot, or neighborhood street, pedestrians struck by vehicles suffer some of the most serious injuries we see.

• Bicycle Accidents: Cyclists have a legal right to the road—and we fight for them when drivers don’t respect it.

Know Your Rights After a Crash

New Jersey’s no-fault insurance system means your own insurance company covers your medical expenses and lost wages—up to a point. But when your injuries are serious, or when another party is clearly at fault, you may be entitled to file a personal injury lawsuit for full compensation.

That can include:

• Medical Bills: Current and future treatment costs.

• Lost Wages: Income lost due to your injuries and recovery time.

• Pain and Suffering: For both physical pain and emotional trauma.

• Property Damage: Repairs or replacement of your vehicle and personal items.

• Loss of Consortium: For the impact your injuries have on your family relationships.

Don’t wait—New Jersey’s statute of limitations restricts how long you have to take legal action. Early legal involvement also preserves critical evidence and strengthens your case.
