Car Accident Lawyer Serving Neptune
The most common crash in Neptune is the one where nobody was doing anything wrong until the car in front stopped.
Six numbered highways run through this township — Route 18, Route 33, Route 35, Route 66 and Route 71, with Garden State Parkway Exit 100B pouring onto Route 66 — and highways that carry that much traffic through signalized crossings and merges spend the whole day starting and stopping, which produces one collision above all others: the rear-end impact. New Jersey no-fault works the same way after every one of them. Your own PIP coverage under N.J.S.A. 39:6A-4 pays the initial medical bills no matter who caused the crash, while a serious injury supports a claim against the at-fault driver for pain, suffering, lost income and everything PIP does not reach. In a rear-end collision the trailing driver is presumed at fault, so the fight is almost never about who hit whom — it is about what the injury is worth, and that is won or lost in the first few weeks while the vehicles, the records and the witnesses are still available. We take these cases on contingency: no fee unless we win.

What We Know About Neptune Cases
Neptune crashes cluster where the highways interrupt themselves, at the signalized crossings and merge points along Route 18, Route 33, Route 35, Route 66 and Route 71 and where Garden State Parkway Exit 100B traffic joins Route 66 at speed, so the township's file mix leans heavily toward rear-end impacts, lane-change sideswipes and left-turn crossings rather than the low-speed parking-lot taps a downtown produces.
Being rear-ended in Neptune usually settles the fault question quickly, because the trailing driver is presumed responsible, which moves the entire fight onto the injury — and that is exactly where a minimum-limits policy becomes the problem, since a driver carrying the least coverage the state allows can leave a real injury underfunded unless your own uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage is identified and opened early.
We treat the first two weeks as the case, obtaining the police crash report, photographing the vehicles before they are repaired or salvaged, tracking down the traffic or business camera footage along the corridor before it is overwritten, and getting your treatment properly documented and billed through PIP so the carrier cannot later argue the gap away.
