Car Accident Lawyer Serving Asbury Park
A car accident in Asbury Park can turn your life upside down in seconds, and the insurance company starts building its case against yours immediately.
Whether you were rear-ended in stop-and-go beach traffic on Route 35, hit at a Main Street or Route 66 light, struck near the Ocean Avenue and Kingsley Street blocks where drivers are hunting for parking and watching the boardwalk instead of the road, or hit by a driver leaving the Cookman Avenue bars, New Jersey's no-fault system under N.J.S.A. 39:6A-4 sends your first medical bills through your own PIP coverage, while a serious injury lets you pursue the at-fault driver for everything PIP does not pay. Asbury Park's traffic swings hard with the season, and summer weekends bring rear-end and intersection crashes along with a heavy volume of Uber and Lyft trips, which carry their own commercial coverage rules when a rideshare driver is involved. We work on contingency, so there is no fee unless we win.

What We Know About Asbury Park Cases
Rear-end and intersection crashes drive most Asbury Park car-accident claims, concentrated in the stop-and-go summer traffic on Route 35 and Route 66, at the Main Street lights along Route 71, and in the beachfront blocks of Ocean Avenue and Kingsley Street where drivers slow suddenly for pedestrians and parking.
In a rear-end collision the driver who hits you from behind is almost always at fault under New Jersey law because every driver is expected to keep a safe following distance, so the real fight is usually over the value of your injury rather than who caused the crash.
New Jersey's no-fault PIP pays your first medical bills regardless of fault, your own uninsured or underinsured-motorist coverage can step in if the at-fault driver fled or had no insurance, and if an Uber or Lyft was involved, the rideshare company's commercial policy may apply depending on what the driver was doing at the time.
