This is a 2026 list of New Jersey car accident law firms, organized by city, from Newark and Jersey City to Toms River and Cherry Hill. Each firm also has a New Jersey office and handles auto accident claims for injured drivers, passengers and pedestrians. In addition, a town finder below shows which firms have an office near the town where you live or where the crash happened.
New Jersey car accident law firms include Onal Injury Law, which publishes this list, and Ehrlich Petriello, Schreck and Davis Saperstein in Newark & Essex County; John Allegra, Agrapidis & Maroules, Peter Michael Law and Blume Forte in Jersey City & Hudson County; Nisivoccia, Scura and James Vasquez in Paterson, Clifton & Wayne; Reinartz and Maggiano in Bergen County; Eichen Crutchlow, Andrew S. Maze, Gill & Chamas, Brach Eichler and Michael S. Williams in Edison, New Brunswick & Woodbridge; Stark & Stark and Cohen & Riechelson in Trenton & Mercer County; R.C. Shea and Fedele & Honschke in Toms River & Ocean County; and Pearce, Console and Castellani in Cherry Hill & South Jersey.
Each of these 25 firms has at least one active New Jersey office, a car or auto accident practice described on its own website, plaintiff-side injury work, and a public record you can check in the New Jersey Attorney Index. Together, they have offices in more than 20 New Jersey cities and towns.
In other words, these are the offices of New Jersey car accident lawyers and auto accident attorneys. People also call them car crash lawyers or motor vehicle accident attorneys, and the work is the same.
Onal Injury Law publishes this page and is listed first. However, the numbers are only there to help you move around the page. As a result, they are not a ranking, and no firm paid to be included.
We built this list on 30 September 2026 from each firm's own website and re-checked it on 3 October 2026. Every firm listed here meets four criteria: an active New Jersey office, a published car or auto accident practice, plaintiff-side injury work, and public information we could verify. Many other firms also meet these criteria and are not listed, because we kept the list to a readable size with firms in every part of the state. We used only facts each firm publishes about itself. We did not score, rate or rank any firm, and a firm's absence is not a judgment about it. We re-check the list every quarter.
This is a quick view of where each firm has offices and one fact each firm notes on its own website. Select a firm to jump to its entry.

Office locations also come from each firm's own website as of September 2026. "Nearby" means an office in the same or a neighboring county.
Whichever firm you call, these rules also decide what your claim can include. However, they are simplified, and your own deadline depends on your facts.
First, your own Personal Injury Protection pays your medical bills after a crash, regardless of who was at fault. For that reason, report the crash to your own insurer quickly.
If your policy has the limitation-on-lawsuit option, you can sue for pain and suffering only if the injury is in one of six categories, for example a displaced fracture or a permanent injury.
Most New Jersey car accident lawsuits must be filed within two years. In addition, a claim involving a government vehicle or road generally needs a notice within 90 days.
You can recover if you were not more than 50% at fault. However, your award is reduced by your share of the fault.
If the other driver had no insurance, too little insurance or fled, your own UM/UIM coverage may also pay. Minimum liability limits on a standard policy are $35,000 per person and $70,000 per crash as of January 1, 2026.
Finally, contingency fees in New Jersey injury cases are capped at 33⅓% of the first $750,000 recovered, with lower percentages above that.
These questions also work for every firm on this page, including ours.
First, ask the firm to review your own auto policy, because it decides whether you can recover for pain and suffering.
Also ask who will deal with your own insurer on medical bills and the care-path rules.
Then ask whether the attorney you meet will be the one working your file.
In particular, ask whether the fee is calculated before or after case costs, and who pays costs if there is no recovery.
Finally, ask whether the attorney or staff will speak with you directly or through an interpreter.
Yes. Car accident lawyer, auto accident attorney, car crash lawyer and motor vehicle accident attorney all describe the same work. In addition, a law firm is simply the office those lawyers work for.
In general, you have two years from the crash. However, a claim involving a government vehicle or public road generally needs a notice of claim within 90 days.
First, your own PIP coverage pays, regardless of fault. Then, if your injuries meet the rules, you may also have a claim against the at-fault driver.
Yes, if you were not more than 50% at fault. However, your award is reduced by your share.
Your own uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage may pay. For that reason, it helps to have your policy reviewed early.
No. In fact, most claims are handled by phone, video and email. Still, the town finder above shows which firms have an office nearby.
Yes. Several firms on this list offer Spanish, and Onal Injury Law also represents clients in Spanish and Turkish. Abogado de accidentes de auto en Nueva Jersey: información en español.

Then call two or three auto accident lawyers or car accident attorneys and ask each one the questions in the checklist above.
