Vehicle Accident Claims

At the Law Office of Mark A. Bailey, we represent people who have been injured in all types of motor vehicle crashes throughout New Jersey. A collision can leave you facing medical bills, time out of work, chronic pain, and a lot of confusion about how insurance works and who is going to pay for what.

Our job is to step in, protect your rights, and guide you through the entire claims process so you can focus on getting better—not fighting with insurance companies.

Types of Vehicle Accident Cases We Handle

We handle a wide range of motor vehicle claims, including:

  • Car accidents – rear-end collisions, head-on crashes, T-bone impacts, multi-vehicle pileups

  • Truck and commercial vehicle accidents – crashes involving box trucks, delivery vans, tractor-trailers, and work vehicles

  • Motorcycle accidents – serious injuries caused by drivers who fail to see or yield to motorcyclists

  • Pedestrian and bicycle accidents – when a vehicle strikes someone walking, running, or cycling

  • Rideshare and delivery crashes – Uber, Lyft, DoorDash, Instacart, and other app-based drivers

  • Bus and public transportation incidents

No matter what kind of vehicle was involved, Mark Bailey works to identify who was at fault, what insurance applies, and how to pursue full and fair compensation.

How Vehicle Accident Claims Work in New Jersey

New Jersey has a complex auto insurance system that can be confusing, especially right after a crash. Depending on the coverage you chose, your claim may involve:

  • Personal Injury Protection (PIP) or “no-fault” benefits to cover medical treatment

  • Claims against the at-fault driver’s liability insurance

  • Potential claims involving commercial policies (trucks, company cars, rideshare vehicles)

  • Issues of comparative negligence (arguments that you were partly at fault)

At the Law Office of Mark A. Bailey, we review your insurance policies, police report, medical records, and any available photos or video to figure out the most effective way to move your claim forward.

We also keep an eye on important deadlines (such as New Jersey’s statute of limitations for personal injury claims) to help ensure your rights are protected.

Common Injuries in Vehicle Accident Cases

Even a “minor” crash can cause serious injuries. We frequently see:

  • Whiplash and neck or back injuries

  • Herniated discs and other spinal injuries

  • Concussions and traumatic brain injuries

  • Broken bones and joint injuries (shoulder, knee, hip)

  • Soft-tissue injuries, sprains, and strains

  • Scarring, disfigurement, and facial injuries

  • Emotional trauma, anxiety, and post-accident stress

Some injuries are immediately obvious; others develop or worsen over days and weeks. Part of our job is to make sure your injuries are properly documented and that your claim reflects not just your current condition but your future medical needs as well.

What Compensation Can a Vehicle Accident Claim Include?

Depending on the facts of your case, a vehicle accident claim may seek compensation for:

  • Medical expenses – ER visits, hospital stays, surgery, doctors’ visits, physical therapy, medication

  • Future medical care – ongoing treatment, injections, surgery, rehabilitation

  • Lost wages and lost earning capacity – time out of work now and any impact on your ability to earn in the future

  • Pain and suffering – physical pain and the day-to-day impact on your life

  • Emotional distress – anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and other emotional injuries

  • Property damage – vehicle repair or replacement, damaged personal items

At the Law Office of Mark A. Bailey, we work to fully evaluate all of your losses, not just the immediate bills that show up in the mailbox.

What to Do After a Vehicle Accident

If you’ve been in a crash, some helpful steps (when safe and possible) include:

  • Call 911 and get medical help right away

  • Make sure a police report is created

  • Exchange information with the other driver(s)

  • Take photos or video of the scene, vehicles, and any visible injuries

  • Get names and contact info of witnesses, if any

  • Seek medical attention, even if you feel “mostly okay” at first

  • Avoid detailed statements to insurance adjusters before talking to an attorney

  • Save all paperwork, letters, and emails related to the crash and your treatment

Then, contact an attorney so you don’t have to navigate the legal and insurance issues alone.
