In New Jersey, almost every motor vehicle accident requires a police response. Their report would include the date and location of the collision, the vehicles involved, and the cause of the accident. Fortunately, getting a police report in New Jersey is a straightforward matter. Going to the police department in the municipality where the crash occurred during business hours is the easiest way to obtain it. However, other options are available.
When it comes to car insurance, New Jersey is a no-fault state. That means an accident victim’s car insurance will pay the medical bills. However, if their injuries were serious and they were not at fault for the crash, they may file a personal injury lawsuit against the at-fault party. Obtaining a police report is the initial step when determining whether to file a lawsuit.
