Common accident locations in Cherry Hill
Route 70
Route 70 runs through the heart of Cherry Hill and carries dense traffic past shopping centers, restaurants, and offices. The constant turns in and out of businesses, combined with high speeds between lights, lead to frequent rear-end and turning crashes.
Route 38
Route 38 is another major commercial corridor with heavy daily volume. Its wide lanes and busy intersections make it a frequent site of serious collisions.
Haddonfield Road / Mall area
Haddonfield Road near the mall draws steady shopping traffic, especially around the major retail centers. The mix of merging cars, people walking to and from stores, and congested parking entrances creates real risk for both drivers and pedestrians.
Your rights under New Jersey law
In New Jersey, you generally have two years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. New Jersey uses modified comparative negligence with a 51 percent bar, so you can recover as long as you are not more than 50 percent at fault, with your award reduced by your share of the blame. New Jersey is a no-fault state with personal injury protection, and depending on the coverage you chose you may be under a limitation-on-lawsuit threshold or have the full right to sue, with the right to bring a claim for serious injuries. If your claim is against a township or other public entity, you must file a formal notice of claim within 90 days of the incident, so it is worth getting advice quickly.
