Raffi T. Khorozian, Esq., standing with the firm's staff outside the office

Essex County Car Accident Lawyer

In Essex County, a single commute can cross a downtown grid, two interstates and a commuter rail line.

That mix produces every kind of collision, from highway pileups on I-280 to people struck while crossing Bloomfield Avenue. Raffi T. Khorozian meets Essex County clients by appointment at three meeting locations: Newark, Montclair and East Orange.

For a free consultation, call 855-RAFFI-25 (855-723-3425). The line is open any time, 24/7.

Filing in Essex County

Newark is the county seat. An Essex County car accident lawsuit is generally filed in the Superior Court, Law Division, at the county courthouse complex in Newark, near the Historic Courthouse. Crashes in Livingston, Irvington, Bloomfield and the Caldwells all go to that same venue.

Essex traffic hot spots

The corridors with the most crash exposure include:

  • Route 21 (McCarter Highway) along the Passaic River;
  • I-280 between the Oranges and downtown Newark;
  • I-78, US 1&9 and the New Jersey Turnpike near Newark Liberty Airport;
  • the Garden State Parkway through Bloomfield, East Orange and Irvington;
  • Bloomfield Avenue and Valley Road in Montclair;
  • Central Avenue and Main Street in East Orange.

Newark Penn Station and the NJ Transit grade crossings on the Montclair-Boonton line bring heavy foot traffic. The pedestrian accident lawyer page explains how New Jersey’s crosswalk rules and PIP coverage apply to people on foot.

What helps your claim most

Get medical care right away, even if the pain seems mild, and follow up. Ask for the police report number. Then read the after-the-crash checklist, which goes day by day, and the car accident lawyer page for how claims move forward.
