Understanding Hit-and-Run Accidents in New Jersey

Hit-and-run accidents are not only morally reprehensible but also illegal under New Jersey law. Victims of such incidents often face physical, emotional, and financial challenges. It's crucial to understand your rights and the legal avenues available:

• Medical Expenses: Victims can seek compensation for medical bills resulting from the accident.

• Pain and Suffering: Compensation may be available for physical pain and emotional distress.

• Lost Wages: If the injury leads to time away from work, victims can claim lost income.

• Punitive Damages: In cases of egregious negligence, additional damages may be awarded to punish the wrongdoer.

Steps to Take Following a Hit-and-Run

If you or a loved one is involved in a hit-and-run:

1. Seek Immediate Medical Attention: Your health is paramount.
