Seaside Heights and Seaside Park sit on the barrier island at the end of the Route 37 bridge, and every summer they fill with beachgoers and boardwalk crowds. That surge of out-of-town drivers — many unfamiliar with the roads, many distracted by the destination — turns Route 35 and the bridge approaches into a serious crash zone from Memorial Day through Labor Day.
Where Seaside crashes cluster
- Route 35 — the main island road, jammed and crash-prone all summer.
- The Route 37 bridge approaches — bumper-to-bumper backups every weekend.
- Boardwalk-area streets — pedestrian and parking-related crashes in season.
- The Route 35 north/south split — confusing for visitors and prone to crashes.
What to do if you’re hurt in Seaside
See a doctor the same day even if you feel okay — adrenaline hides whiplash and disc injuries, and a treatment gap is the first thing an insurer uses against you. If you were a pedestrian, NJ PIP coverage may still pay your medical bills. Don’t give the other driver’s insurer a recorded statement first. Here’s our checklist for after a crash.
Injuries we handle
Whiplash, herniated discs, concussions, fractures, and pedestrian injuries are common in these summer collisions. We build your case around your medical records and push the insurer for full value.
