Car Accident- Linden, NJ
Imagine a car accident injury with a stolen motor vehicle. Who would be responsible, and who would pay car accident compensation for a stolen car accident? In 2005, I achieved a binding award for a Linden, NJ client who sustained a knee injury and a significant forehead scar as a result of a stolen car crash. As an experienced New Jersey motor vehicle accident attorney, I’ve had success even litigating car accident injuries sustained from a stolen car crash.
The specifics of this stolen car accident made this car accident injury claim particularly difficult to litigate. The driver of the car stole the motor vehicle and was fleeing pursuit by the police when he struck my client. New Jersey has regulations prohibiting claims against Police Departments, so my client was unable to seek remedy from the police as a result of initiating this dangerous pursuit situation. Fortunately, my experience as a car accident attorney prompted me to seek other resolution to this unfortunate stolen car accident.
I discovered through the course of litigating this case that my Linden, NJ client, the plaintiff, had an insurance policy issued to the employer. Under the circumstances, this insurance policy applied to the car accident where my client sustained the knee injury and significant forehead scarring. We achieved this result through binding arbitration under the policy issued to my client’s employer. The policy issuer fought the results of the arbitration, and I litigated the matter to Federal District Court before achieving a final resolution for my client.
This type of resolution shows the creative litigation required in stolen car crash cases. In the event of a stolen car, the vehicle’s owner is typically not liable and it can be difficult to obtain car accident compensation. Car thieves don’t have insurance policies, nor do they have the resources to pay in direct litigation. As an experienced New Jersey car accident attorney, I was able to uncover an alternative policy and achieve a positive award for my client. Without diligent litigation against this alternate policy, my client would likely have received nothing in car accident compensation for this stolen car crash.
