How we wrote this story

Sources

Every report here is built the same way: we pull the facts from published news coverage, cross-check them, and review the story before it publishes. See our full methodology.

How we checked it

The commentary set apart from the reporting is reviewed before it is published. Each contributor is a practising attorney who approved the words attributed to them.

That commentary may draw on prior interviews, and a contributor may not be licensed in your state. It is general information, not specific to the incident in this article, and not legal advice for your situation; for a specific matter, consult a licensed attorney in your area.

Affected by an accident like this?

Here is what people in New Jersey usually need, in the order it comes up.

  1. Emergency care. Emergency rooms must check and stabilize you, even if you can't pay. The bill comes later.

  2. Your vehicle. Tow yards usually charge for every day a towed vehicle sits there.

  3. Crash report. The crash report is usually ready a few weeks after the crash, and you can still get it later.

  4. Hospital bills. Most hospitals have a program that cuts bills for people with low income, and you can apply months after the first bill.

  5. Insurance offer. You can turn down the insurer's first offer and ask for more.
