The Bergen County courthouse

When a claim does not resolve with the insurance company and a lawsuit is filed, a Bergen County crash case generally goes to the Superior Court, Law Division, at the Bergen County Justice Center in Hackensack. That is the county seat, a short drive from every one of the firm’s Bergen locations.

Bergen roads with heavy crash traffic

Bergen carries much of North Jersey’s commuter, freight and shopping traffic. Corridors where collisions are common include:

  • the George Washington Bridge approaches around Fort Lee: I-95 and the New Jersey Turnpike, US 1&9, US 46 and Route 4;
  • Route 17 and Route 4 through Paramus, where mall entrances meet highway speeds;
  • the Garden State Parkway and I-80 as they cross the county;
  • Route 3 and Route 120 near MetLife Stadium and American Dream, worst on event days.

Paramus has a weekly twist: the county’s Sunday closing law keeps most stores shut, so Route 17 traffic on a Saturday looks nothing like Sunday’s.

First steps after a Bergen County collision

See a doctor, make sure the police write a report, and save photos, the other driver’s details and every medical paper. Before you give the other driver’s insurer a recorded statement, read what to know about recorded statements.
