Understanding the Importance of Negligence As Part of Your Hoboken Car Accident Claim
Personal injury law protects people who have been injured in accidents that are the result of negligence. This is an important distinction. Sometimes accidents happen — whether that is a fender bender or a slip and fall accident — and nobody is at fault.
Negligence must be demonstrated and legally proven, and the negligence must have caused or contributed to the accident occurring. Without negligence, there is no basis for a personal injury claim. In terms of a personal injury claim for a car accident, negligence is often demonstrated by the at-fault party by driving over the speed limit, driving recklessly, texting while driving, driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs (DUI), rapidly changing lanes without signaling, and other behaviors.

About Hoboken, New Jersey
Hoboken, New Jersey, is a city located in northeastern New Jersey and is home to 50,000 residents. Situated in Hudson County, Hoboken rests alongside the Hudson River, opposite Manhattan Island, New York City. Hoboken offers convenient access to New York City via ferry, train, tunnel, subway, and highway.
Purchased by the Dutch from the Delaware Indians in 1630, Hoboken built the first American Brewery there in 1642. It is also recognized as the first place that an organized baseball game was played, in 1846. Frank Sinatra was born in Hoboken in 1915, and the 1945 film, On The Waterfront, was filmed near Hoboken’s piers.
Hoboken served as a major port of embarkation for American troops leaving for Europe during World War I, and, in 1952, the port of Hoboken was leased for operation as part of the port of New York. Hoboken’s wide range of Industries includes shipbuilding, Food processing, and the manufacturer of pencils, boxes, clothing, machinery, and furniture.
Frequently Asked Questions About Hoboken Car Accidents
In cases where there is shared fault for a car accident, the state of New Jersey follows “modified comparative fault” rules. Under these rules, the compensation that the injured party may recover will be impacted by their level of fault for the accident.
Simply stated, if it is determined that you share 30 percent of the responsibility for a car accident, then the damages that you may recover it will be reduced by 30 percent. So a damage award of $15,000 will be reduced by 30 percent — by $4,500 — to $10,500. In New Jersey, if it is determined that you share more than 50 percent of the fault for a car accident, then you may not recover any compensation from the other at fault parties.
When you file a claim for a car accident that was caused by someone else’s negligent actions, you may seek to recover compensation for your injuries and other losses. Specifically, you may recover compensation for any of the following:
– Hospital costs
– Medical bills
– Surgical costs
– Future medical expenses that stem from the accident
– Costs of Rehabilitation
– Prescription medication expenses
– Cost of X-rays and other Imaging
– Costs for necessary lab work
– Mental anguish
– Emotional pain and suffering
– Lost wages
– Lost earned vacation time
– Lost earned sick time
– Loss of future earning capacity
– Loss of companionship
– Loss of enjoyment in life
When determining the value of these losses, some losses — such as medical bills — have an exact monetary value. Other losses — such as emotional pain and suffering or loss of companionship — are immeasurable. For these losses, the court will assign a value.
