With a population of 905,116 as of the 2010 census, Bergen County is New Jersey’s most populous county. It is a part of the New York City Metropolitan area, and its county seat is Hackensack.
The NJ injury attorneys and NJ car accident attorneys at The Grossman Law Firm have successfully represented many Automobile and Other Road claims. We always make sure that our clients are aware of their rights, options, and potential courses of action that can help them obtain the financial compensation they deserve. No case is too large, too small, or too complex for our firm to handle.
Auto accidents occur by the thousands across the country each year, and many of these happen in New Jersey. These accidents are often injurious and many are fatal.
According to the latest report from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), 96 percent of all vehicles involved in traffic accidents in 2014 were passenger vehicles. That’s 10,165,000 cars, SUVs, pickup trucks, and vans. In the same year, 21,022 people died from passenger vehicle crashes, while 2.07 million were injured. Passenger car occupants made up 57 percent of the fatalities and 62 percent of the injured victims.
New Jersey has over 37,000 miles of public roads. The NJ Department of Transportation reports that in 2014, a total of 290,212 traffic accidents occurred statewide. Of these, 521 were fatal crashes and 59,408 were injury crashes. The counties of Bergen, Middlesex, and Essex were the three counties with the most number of traffic accidents that year. Although other counties such as Monmouth County, had significant numbers as well.
These statistics are frightening despite state-of-the-art air bags, recent laws enacted to require the wearing of seatbelts, and the use of hands-free cell phones.
Accidents happen, and when they do, the potential for devastation is great. No matter how common car crashes are, each incident is largely personal, creating a huge financial and emotional burden for the individuals involved.
When such a misfortune has happened to you, you don’t want your case to be treated as just another statistic. You need personal attention and commitment. This is exactly the kind of legal service we provide, making us the firm that numerous clients trust.

Car Accidents
Regardless of the speeds of the vehicles involved, car accidents have the potential to cause serious injuries to the victims. Such accidents can occur at any time and at any place. When the cause of the accident is the negligent conduct of another driver, the injured victims are entitled to pursue a compensation claim.
Motorcycle Accidents
Due to the lack of bodily protection during impacts and the negligent driving behaviors of some drivers, even the most careful and defensive motorcyclists are at risk of injuries each time they pull out onto the street. Motorcycle accidents often occur when drivers switch lanes abruptly without looking or fail to yield.
Truck Accidents
The enormous size and weight of tractor-trailers and 18-wheelers can cause catastrophic or fatal injuries to occupants of smaller vehicles. Truck accident cases also tend to be more complex due to the federal regulations that govern the trucking industry.
