🚗 Common Types of Car Accidents in New Jersey

Every car crash is different, but certain types of accidents happen more frequently. Knowing how your accident occurred can help determine who is liable and what type of compensation you may be entitled to.

Rear-End Collisions

Typically caused by distracted driving or tailgating, rear-end accidents often result in whiplash and back injuries.

Head-On Collisions

Among the most serious crashes, head-on accidents often involve speeding, drunk driving, or crossing into oncoming traffic.

T-Bone (Side-Impact) Crashes

Often occurring at intersections, T-bone accidents can cause severe injuries depending on where the vehicle is struck.

Rollover Accidents

SUVs and larger vehicles are more prone to rollovers, which can result in head, neck, and spinal injuries.

Sideswipe Collisions

When two vehicles traveling in the same direction brush against each other, sideswipe accidents can cause loss of vehicle control.

Multi-Vehicle Pileups

Chain-reaction accidents, often happening on highways like the Garden State Parkway, create complex liability and serious injury risks.
