What Compensation Can You Recover After an Accident?
Victims of motor vehicle accidents in New Jersey and New York may be entitled to compensation for:
- Medical bills and ongoing treatment
- Lost wages and future earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Property damage
- Emotional trauma and reduced quality of life
- Punitive damages in cases of reckless or intentional conduct
We carefully evaluate your medical and financial losses to ensure every damage category is pursued for full recovery.
How Does Fault Work in New Jersey and New York?
Both states follow comparative negligence rules, meaning you can still recover damages even if you share some fault, as long as you are less than 50 percent responsible.
- New Jersey: Operates under a “modified comparative fault” system.
- New York: Uses “pure comparative fault,” allowing recovery even if you were mostly at fault, though your compensation is reduced by your percentage of responsibility.
Horn Injury Law analyzes every detail to maximize your recovery under each state’s laws.

FAQs
Should I talk to the insurance company after my accident?
No. It’s best to let your attorney handle communications to prevent low settlement offers or statements that could harm your claim.
How long do I have to file a motor vehicle accident claim?
You generally have two years in New Jersey and three years in New York to file a claim, but acting quickly helps preserve evidence and strengthen your case.
What if the other driver was uninsured or fled the scene?
You may still recover compensation through your own uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage. Our attorneys will help you file the proper claim and protect your rights.
