Motor Vehicle Accidents

New Jersey Motor Vehicle Accident Lawyers

Personal injuries involving motor vehicles can change or destroy lives in a split second. Drivers, passengers, and even pedestrians can be affected when a vehicle is operated in a negligent matter.

For the past 20 years, the family-owned law firm of Leonard & Leonard, P.A., has fought for fair and timely compensation for victims of motor vehicle accidents. We have offices in Morristown and Springfield to better serve our clients. To accommodate people who cannot travel due to their injuries, our attorneys are also available for appointments off-site.

 Each Crash Is Unique, With Unique Challenges for Your Lawyers

Each motor vehicle accident is unique and, at Leonard & Leonard, our attorneys treat each client as an individual with his or her own set of circumstances and priorities. The process of negotiating for fair financial compensation after a motor vehicle accident depends somewhat on the types of vehicles involved in the crash. We have handled motor vehicle accident cases of all types:

Passenger car accidents

  • Semi-truck wrecks (also known as commercial trucks, tractor-trailers and 18-wheelers)
  • Accidents involving commercial vehicles such as delivery trucks or buses
  • Sport utility vehicle (SUV) rollovers
  • All-terrain vehicles (ATV) mishaps
  • Snowmobile accidents
  • Motorcycle wrecks, including those involving scooters and motorized bikes
  • Accidents involving pedestrians or bicycles
  • Boating accidents

Often, the main source of compensation after a motor vehicle accident may be the injured person's own insurance policy. For that reason, we think it is important to make sure our clients and their families understand New Jersey's car insurance laws.

A Successful Outcome: In one motor vehicle accident case, Leonard & Leonard attorneys were able to achieve a $500,000 settlement for a client injured due to a preventable defect in the car. We invite you to read more about our recent case results.

Roadway Defects Are Responsible for Many Accidents

Many truck and auto accidents can be attributed to dangerous roads. Improper roadway construction, inadequate warnings or improper maintenance can lead to unnecessary crashes. Highways and roads may cause or contribute to crashes because of the presence of black ice, ruts, sinkholes, drop-offs, drainage problems and more.

At Leonard & Leonard, our lawyers have successfully handled many motor vehicle accident cases in which the underlying cause of the accident was an avoidable problem with the road itself. We conduct a thorough investigation in every case to make sure we uncover every cause that contributed to the accident.
