Belleville stretches along the Passaic River at the edge of Newark, and its Main Street corridor carries heavy local and commuter traffic. Angle collisions at Main Street and Washington Avenue, truck traffic on the Belleville Turnpike, and pedestrian injuries near Branch Brook Park's busy edges make up many of the injury claims that arise here.

What to Do After a Serious Injury in Belleville

Your health comes first — see a doctor and follow through on treatment. Then preserve your claim: keep records of your medical care, take photographs of what caused your injury, save pay stubs showing missed work, and do not speak with an insurance adjuster before you have spoken to a Belleville personal injury attorney. Adjusters are trained to minimize payouts; Diana is trained to stop them.

New Jersey No-Fault Insurance and Your Belleville Accident Claim

New Jersey is a no-fault state, which trips up many injured drivers. After a crash, your own auto insurance pays your medical bills through Personal Injury Protection (PIP) — regardless of who caused the collision. But no-fault does not mean you cannot recover more. If another driver was careless, you can pursue them for pain and suffering and other losses, provided your policy's "verbal threshold" requirements and your injury's seriousness are properly established. This is exactly where a skilled Belleville personal injury lawyer makes the difference: Diana Lakic knows how to document your injuries so your claim clears the threshold instead of being dismissed.

You should also know:

• The clock is ticking. In most cases, New Jersey gives you two years from the accident date to file a personal injury lawsuit.
• Comparative negligence applies. If you were partly at fault, you can still recover compensation — reduced by your percentage of fault — as long as you were not more than 50% responsible.
• The insurance company is not on your side. Adjusters work to protect the insurer's money, not your future. Anything you say can be used to shrink your claim.

What Compensation Can a Belleville Personal Injury Lawyer Recover?

• Medical bills — surgery, therapy, medication, and future treatment
• Lost income — time out of work and diminished earning capacity
• Pain and suffering — the day-to-day burden a serious injury imposes
• Property damage
• Loss of enjoyment of life — activities you can no longer share with your family
