Elizabeth is the seat of the Union County courts and one of the busiest freight corners in New Jersey, where tractor-trailers, airport shuttles and local commuters share the same lanes.
If you were hurt in a crash in or around Elizabeth, Raffi T. Khorozian can talk with you about what happened and what comes next. The consultation is free.
Where Elizabeth crashes tend to happen
Most of the serious collisions people ask about here come from a handful of corridors:
- The Turnpike at exits 13 and 13A, where merging cars, trucks and drivers hunting for the airport exits meet.
- Routes 1&9 and Route 81, which carry airport and cargo traffic side by side with local drivers.
- Elizabeth Avenue, a crowded commercial street where drivers, bus riders and people on foot cross paths all day.
A collision with a box truck or tractor-trailer often involves more than one business, and the records that prove what happened can disappear quickly. The truck accident page explains which records matter. If a car struck you while you were walking, see the pedestrian accident page.

Frequently asked questions
Where would a lawsuit over an Elizabeth crash be filed?
Usually in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Law Division, in Union County, which sits at the Union County Courthouse on Broad Street in Elizabeth. The proper county can change depending on where the people involved live, so ask about your own case.
A truck hit me near the Turnpike in Elizabeth. Who could be responsible?
Possibly several parties: the driver, the company that employs the driver, the owner of the truck or trailer, and sometimes a maintenance or loading company. Each may carry its own insurance, which is one reason to write down the company name, plate and any DOT number painted on the truck.
