In Passaic, serious injuries frequently occur on routes people use every day—commuting corridors, crosswalks, busier intersections, and areas with heavy pedestrian activity. In the hours and days after a catastrophic event, the details you remember can fade, and documentation can become harder to obtain.
Insurers may also ask for recorded statements early, and any misstep can create confusion about what caused the paralysis and when symptoms began.
That’s why a structured approach matters:
- quickly preserving incident evidence (including what may be time-sensitive)
- building a clear timeline from the emergency room onward
- identifying who may be responsible under New Jersey negligence and comparative fault rules
