Legal Question in Traffic Law in New Jersey

Re: I was hit in the rear while stopped at a red light

There are time limitations in that you generally have two years from the date of accident to sue. There may also be limitations if you have selected certain insurance options, however, the fact that the other car was a commercial vehicle, may overcome any such limitation. Some legal analysis would be invovled.

If you wish to discuss the matter further, I offer free consultations. Feel free to contact me.

You have a suit. Most attorneys will not charge for a consultation on this type of case. You should chose a few, meet with each and find someone you feel comfortable with. You should get someone to review your case as soon as possible.

Best of Luck!

Please be advised that I have not been retained to represent you and I am basing this response on the limited amount of information supplied. However, it seems as though you have a case. You have two years after learning of your injuries to sue for personal injury. If you were ever in an accident prior to this or if you have had similar injuries to the ones for which you are now being treated, your damages could be reduced. Because the driver of the other vehicle was commercial, there is likely good insurance which could cover your medical bills. You should meet with an attorney to review your case and discuss your options. If you wish to discuss this in greater detail with me, I can be reached at 908-537-7975.
