Car accidents are a persistent issue on New Jersey roads, particularly in busy urban areas like Newark. Intersections, such as Maple Ave and Grumman Ave, often see heavy traffic, making them common locations for collisions. Contributing factors like distracted driving, speeding, and failure to yield frequently lead to crashes with significant injuries.
After a crash, seeking immediate medical attention is crucial, as injuries may not always be immediately apparent. Additionally, documenting the accident, gathering witness statements, and obtaining a police report can be important steps in protecting one’s rights when seeking compensation for damages.
