Union Township's injury risks follow its roads and its buildings. Route 22 is one of the busiest retail corridors in the state, with cars entering and leaving oversized parking lots all day. Morris Avenue, Chestnut Street, Stuyvesant Avenue, and Vauxhall Road carry local traffic through Union Center and the township's neighborhoods. Kean University draws thousands of students who walk and ride across busy intersections. Add older housing, icy sidewalks in winter, and crowded commercial properties, and injuries happen on the road, in parking lots, and on the sidewalk.

Personal Injury Cases Diana Handles in Union Township

• Car, truck, and motorcycle accidents — collisions on Route 22, Morris Avenue, Chestnut Street, Springfield Avenue, Stuyvesant Avenue, and Vauxhall Road
• Parking lot and premises liability claims — unsafe lots, cracked pavement, unlit walkways, and neglected floors at the township's retail and commercial properties
• Slip and fall injuries — icy walkways, defective stairs and railings, and broken sidewalks in front of stores and rental housing
• Pedestrian and bicycle accidents — especially around Kean University and Union Center, where foot traffic meets turning vehicles
• Workplace injuries — third-party claims when a contractor, property owner, or equipment failure caused the harm
• Uber and Lyft accidents — rideshare claims involve layered insurance policies and special rules
• Dog bites — New Jersey holds owners responsible in most cases, even for a first bite
• Wrongful death — compassionate, determined advocacy for grieving families

What to Do After a Serious Injury in Union Township

Your health comes first — get medical attention and follow through on treatment. Nearby emergency care includes Overlook Medical Center in Summit and Trinitas Regional Medical Center in Elizabeth. Then protect your claim: keep records of every medical visit, photograph what caused your injury and the conditions around it, note the names of anyone who saw what happened, save pay stubs showing missed work, and report the incident to the property owner or manager in writing. Do not speak with an insurance adjuster before you have spoken with a Union Township personal injury attorney. Adjusters are trained to minimize payouts; Diana is trained to stop them.

New Jersey No-Fault Insurance and Your Union Township Claim

New Jersey is a no-fault state, which trips up many injured people. 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 the seriousness of your injury are properly established. That documentation is where an experienced lawyer makes the difference — Diana knows how to build a record that 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. Our guide to comparative negligence in New Jersey explains how that works.
• The insurance company is not on your side. Adjusters protect the insurer's money, not your future, and anything you say can be used to shrink your claim.
• Filing a claim is a process. This step-by-step guide to filing a personal injury claim in New Jersey walks through what happens and when.

What Compensation Can a Union Township Personal Injury Lawyer Recover?

• Medical bills — surgery, therapy, medication, imaging, 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
