Who is Responsible for Maintaining New Jersey Highways?
There are various regulations that play an imperative role in upholding the safety of drivers on New Jersey highways. If regulations are not followed during the manufacturing or upkeep of roads and you or somebody you love has been seriously injured, many individuals or entities could be liable. A few of these include a highway engineer, construction companies, road maintenance authority, and more. When adverse road conditions lead to a serious accident, you might have a government-related claim against a responsible party. In some cases, cities, counties, and states are fully liable for your damages. This means that you might not be on your own when it comes to medical bills, lost wages from missing work, and emotional distress related to your accident.
When Another Driver Has Caused Your Highway Accident and Injuries
Perhaps, while you were determining liability, you have discovered that the accident was not the result of poor roadway conditions but instead the negligence of another driver. In cases where you have found that is is not possible for you to recover through an insurance company, you might be faced with the reality of bringing a personal injury claim against another party who contributed to your accident. There are many reasons these accidents take place every day across New Jersey. In fact, according to research, distracted driving sits at the top of the list for the biggest reason these accidents occur due to actions like texting and driving, fiddling with the radio, and taking your mind off the roadway. Your best bet for recovery is speaking with an attorney at Blume Forte Fried Zerres & Molinari, where you know you will be heard.

Frequently Asked Questions About Highway Accidents
There are many steps that should be immediately following your highway accident. Some of these steps include moving your vehicle to safety, calling the police to the scene of the accident, speaking with witnesses, and collecting photographs. Of course, seeking medical attention is essential as well. The reason why all of these steps should be taken is due to the fact that you want to be prepared for the future and the likelihood that you will have to bring an accident claim for compensation. By acting in the moment, you are protecting your rights for the future.
If it is determined that a negative road condition caused your car accident, you will have to determine which type of government entity is actually responsible for your accident. Instead of working with an attorney and simply bringing a claim against a negligent individual, in the event of a government claim, you will need to give what is called a “notice of claim.” These notices must be given quickly to protect your right to file a claim and move forward toward compensation.
