What to Do if You’re in a Car Accident While Pregnant in New Jersey<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you or your loved one is pregnant and in a car accident in New Jersey, following the steps below can help preserve your legal claim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Contact the Police to Respond <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Call 911 and explain you\u2019re pregnant and were just in a car accident.<\/strong> They will send the police and a medical response team. Don\u2019t assume everything is ok until medical personnel have examined you at the scene. You\u2019ll also want an accident report to pursue a personal injury claim should the other driver be at fault. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

New Jersey law<\/a> stipulates accidents resulting in personal injury or property damage exceeding $500 must be reported to the local police department. That means if the police didn\u2019t come to the scene, you must make a report<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Gather Evidence of the Accident and Your Damages<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Compensation is an important consideration following an accident. <\/strong>Reimbursement can cover medical care costs, lost time from work, property damage, and pain and suffering. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Much of this compensation depends on the quality of evidence collected. Documentation proving your out-of-pocket expenses for medical care and property repair is crucial. <\/strong>Are there any witnesses who stopped? Be sure you get their contact information. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you can do so safely, without risk to you or your fetus, try to get a few pictures of the scene<\/strong>. Remember to take photos of vehicle damage, debris, skid marks, and any other elements that might be important down the line. <\/p>\n\n\n
