Frequently Asked Questions About Motorcycle Accidents in Ocean County
Do I need a lawyer for a motorcycle accident in Ocean County?
Yes. A lawyer helps you handle insurance claims, prove fault, and maximize compensation. Without legal representation, you may accept a low settlement.
How long do I have to file a motorcycle accident lawsuit in Ocean County?
You have 2 years from the date of the accident under NJ law (N.J.S.A. 2A:14-2). Missing this deadline bars your claim permanently.
What if I was partially at fault for the motorcycle crash?
It depends. Under NJ’s modified comparative fault rule, you can recover damages if you are 50% or less at fault. If you are more than 50% at fault, you are barred from recovery.
Can I recover compensation for pain and suffering after a motorcycle accident?
Yes. NJ does not cap personal injury damages, including pain and suffering. However, you must prove your injuries are serious enough to meet the verbal threshold if you have limited tort insurance.
What is the verbal threshold in New Jersey motorcycle accident cases?
The verbal threshold limits your right to sue for pain and suffering unless you have a serious injury (death, dismemberment, significant scarring, or permanent injury). A lawyer can help determine if your case qualifies.
