Car Accident Lawyer Serving Union Township, NJ

Union Township — most people just call it Union — is one of the largest communities in Union County. The Garden State Parkway cuts along its western edge, Route 22 runs its busy retail spine, and Morris Avenue carries local and commuter traffic past Kean University. When commuters, shoppers, and students share that much pavement, collisions follow.

Car Accident Cases Diana Handles in Union Township

Diana Lakic personally represents Union Township residents injured in every kind of motor vehicle crash, including:

• Route 22 retail-strip collisions, where high-speed traffic meets a constant stream of turning cars, delivery trucks, and shoppers pulling in and out of driveways
• Garden State Parkway and I-78 crashes, including multi-vehicle pileups and merging accidents at the interchanges
• Intersection and rear-end collisions on Morris Avenue (Route 82), Chestnut Street, Stuyvesant Avenue, and other township arteries
• Pedestrian and bicycle accidents, including near the Kean University campus and along Morris Avenue's commercial blocks
• Rideshare accidents involving Uber and Lyft vehicles and the layered insurance questions they raise
• Truck accidents on the Route 22 corridor and the routes feeding nearby industrial areas
• Hit-and-run collisions where the at-fault driver cannot be found

Even if you believe you were partly at fault, New Jersey's comparative negligence rules may still entitle you to compensation. Diana also handles personal injury cases in Union Township beyond car accidents, including slip and falls and premises liability claims.

What Working with Diana Looks Like

Union Township injury lawsuits are filed in Union County Superior Court in nearby Elizabeth, and Diana practices in that courthouse regularly. From day one, she takes care of the work that protects your claim:

• She investigates the crash immediately, because police reports, scene and vehicle photos, camera footage, and witness statements all disappear fast.
• She builds the medical side of your case with your treating doctors and, when the case calls for it, medical experts.
• She fields every call, letter, and demand from the insurance companies, so you are never pushed into a recorded statement or a quick, low settlement.
• She prepares every case as though it will be tried, because that preparation is what makes insurers take settlement demands seriously.

Not sure what to do right after a crash? This guide to what to do after a car accident in New Jersey covers the first steps, and Diana will walk you through anything it raises.

What to Bring to Your Free Consultation

You need nothing to talk to Diana — a single phone call is often enough for her to tell you where you stand. If you have them, though, bring:

• The police or accident report
• Photos of the vehicles, the roadway, and your injuries
• Medical records and bills from every provider you have seen
• Any letters, emails, or claim numbers from an insurance company
• Wage information showing time missed from work
• Your auto policy declarations page, which shows your personal injury protection (PIP) coverage

Questions Union Township Clients Ask

What does it cost? Nothing to talk. The consultation is free, and there is no fee unless Diana recovers money for you.

How long will my case take? It depends on your medical treatment and how the insurance company responds. Diana will give you an honest timeline once she understands your injuries.

The insurance company already offered me money. Should I take it? Talk to Diana first. Early offers almost never account for future treatment, lost earnings, or the long-term effects of an injury.

How long do I have to sue? New Jersey's statute of limitations for personal injury claims is generally two years from the accident date, but key evidence and certain insurance deadlines arrive much sooner, so calling early is always the safer choice.
