A city where many of the injured weren’t driving
Downtown New Brunswick and the campus streets carry heavy foot traffic: students crossing between classes, people walking to George Street restaurants, riders getting on and off buses. Bicycles, e-bikes and delivery riders share the same lanes. When a car hits someone outside a vehicle, the injuries are often serious, and the questions about which insurance pays are different. See our pages on pedestrian accidents and bicycle and e-bike accidents.

Frequently asked questions
Would my case be heard here in New Brunswick?
If the crash happened in Middlesex County and a lawsuit is filed, it would generally be heard at the Middlesex County Superior Court, which is in New Brunswick. Traffic tickets from a city crash go to the New Brunswick Municipal Court instead.
Does it matter that I was hurt on or near the Rutgers campus?
It can. Campus police may have written the report, and if a public body such as a public university or a government vehicle may share responsibility, New Jersey generally requires a written notice of claim within 90 days. Call early so that deadline is not missed.
