Morristown Rear-End Car Collision Lawyer

Wayne and West New York Car Accident Attorney

Strong and Protective Advocacy for New Jersey Injury Victims for Over 30 Years

Proving responsibility in rear-end car accidents is not usually a problem in New Jersey. New Jersey law states that a driver who runs into the back of another vehicle is legally responsible for the resulting injuries and property damage, with very rare exceptions.

As Morristown rear-end car collision lawyer Michael P. Burakoff knows, the difficulty with obtaining compensation after rear-end collisions has to do with proving that the accident caused compensable injuries. In other words, did the rear-end collision cause significant injuries that require surgery or lengthy rehabilitation?

Everyone is suspicious of anyone who cries "whiplash!" after a rear-end collision. Nevertheless, rear-end collisions often do cause serious, life-changing injury. Rear-end collision victims should not be denied fair compensation for real injuries due to skepticism by insurance companies, judges or juries. Morristown rear-end car collision lawyer Michael P. Burakoff has recovered millions of dollars for New Jersey accident victims, including rear-end collision victims. Read some of our case histories.
