What to Do When You Get Rear-Ended Immediately in New Jersey

1. 确保安全 Check for injuries; if serious, call 911 immediately.
2. 记录现场： 为车辆及周边环境拍照。.
3. 交换信息： 与对方司机分享联系方式和保险信息。.
4. 通知警方 Even for minor accidents, a 警方报告 can be vital.
5. 联系您的保险公司： 报告事故以启动理赔流程。.

被追尾真的非常令人沮丧。你可能正坐在红灯前，安安稳稳地听着你最喜欢的真实犯罪播客，突然间，你会感到一阵震惊的颠簸，另一辆车撞上了你的后备箱。上班还能准时到吗。. 

If you’re thinking, “I was rear-ended by a commercial truck or vehicle, what should I do? It’s important to know the steps to protect yourself and seek compensation in a personal injury claim.

事故现场 

The first and most important thing to do immediately after an accident is to assess the need for medical attention and call for help if anyone is injured.

Remain calm and check yourself and passengers for signs of physical trauma. If possible, move your vehicle to a safe space out of the way of traffic to avoid further accidents. Stay at the scene and call 911.

所需法律行动

Once you know you are out of immediate danger, New Jersey law requires drivers to take certain actions after a crash. 

报告事故

You must report the accident to the local police if the accident involves: 

• 伤,
• 死亡，或者
• 财产损失超过$500。.

即使事故不严重到强制报告的程度，报警记录事故也很重要。警方会记录重要信息，例如涉及人员、道路状况以及他们认为导致碰撞的原因。您可以提交此报告作为个人伤害或保险索赔的证据。. 

交流信息 

New Jersey law mandates drivers involved in an accident to exchange information for reporting and insurance claim purposes. The law requires you to exchange: 

• 名字, 
• 联系方式,
• 驾驶证证明，并且
• 车辆注册证明.

您还应该交换您的保险信息。在所有方交换完信息或直到警察通知您可以离开之前，您必须留在事故现场。. 

记录场景

您收集到的关于碰撞信息越多，您索赔损失的证据就越多。请拍摄以下细节的照片： 

• 天气状况,
• 路况,
• 车辆损坏,
• 刹车痕,
• 轮胎花纹，,
• 伤害，以及
• 车辆位置. 

证人陈述： 姓名：张伟 联系方式：138XXXXXXXX 陈述：我当时在斑马线旁等红灯，亲眼看到一辆灰色轿车闯了红灯，然后撞上了直行的那辆白色SUV。 姓名：李娜 联系方式：139XXXXXXXX 陈述：我当时在路边的咖啡馆，听到巨大的撞击声，出来看到两辆车撞在一起，灰色轿车车头损毁严重。 车辆信息： 车辆类型：SUV 车身颜色：白色 制造商/型号：丰田RAV4 车牌号：京AXXXXX 车辆类型：轿车 车身颜色：灰色 制造商/型号：大众朗逸 车牌号：冀BXXXXX. 

离开现场后

在警察允许您离开并回到家后，您还可以采取更多措施来让追尾事故成为过去。. 

追尾事故的保险索赔：如何开始

请尽快联系您的保险代理人，告知他们事故情况并开始您的追尾碰撞保险理赔。向他们提供您在事故现场收集到的所有文件和信息。. 

获取车辆损伤估价

您的保险公司很可能会给您一个车辆损坏的估价。然而，从您信任的修车师傅那里获得多个意见是个好主意。. 

看医生

Rear-end collision injuries are not always immediately obvious. The initial shock may temporarily stop you from feeling any pain. It’s important to have your doctor investigate any potential internal injuries right away.

Even if you don’t think the accident was serious, you may still develop pain and soreness later on. Your doctor should document all your symptoms in as much detail as possible. 

了解您的权利

One of the most beneficial steps to take after being rear-ended is to speak with a personal injury attorney. If you are the victim of a rear-end collision, the at-fault driver may need to financially compensate you for any injuries or property damage. 

An attorney can help you understand what compensation you may be legally entitled to and advise you on the best course of action to get justice. Find a lawyer who knows the ins and outs of New Jersey negligence law and has a proven record for successful claims recovery.
