Two People Ejected From SUV After Rear End Collision
If you get injured in a car accident while you are visiting New Jersey, any legal actions related to your injuries must proceed through the courts of New Jersey, not in your home state. This might mean that a man and a woman from Baltimore who got into a collision on the New Jersey Turnpike will need to return to New Jersey, or else spend a lot of time communicating with lawyers in New Jersey, but their situation is far better than it could have been. After midnight one night in April 2026, they were traveling on the New Jersey Turnpike in their Nissan SUV when a Chevrolet struck their vehicle from behind. Both occupants of the Nissan were ejected from the SUV. The passenger, a 33-year-old woman, suffered severe injuries, while the Daily Voice Burlington County website described the injuries of the driver, a 24-year-old man, as moderate. The driver of the Chevrolet, a 64-year-old man from Hamilton, was not injured. If you suffered injuries in a car accident where at least one of the occupants was ejected from the vehicle, contact an auto accident lawyer.
To Increase Your Chances of Survival, Don’t Be Ejected From the Vehicle
The most flippant piece of advice that almost everyone has received is, “If you want to be financially stable, don’t get sick,” as if anyone chose the illness that wrecked their finances. Another classic is, “If you want to survive a car accident, stay inside the vehicle when it crashes.” This advice is not directed at people who, perhaps in an effort to reenact what they see in action movies, get out of a car that has just crashed on a busy street, only to get hit by another vehicle that is passing at high speed. Rather, it means that being ejected from a vehicle increases the risk of death or serious injury, regardless of the angle of collision or the speed that the cars were going when they crashed. It seems miraculous that the occupants of the Nissan survived the collision on the New Jersey Turnpike.
Getting ejected from a vehicle is more preventable than most illnesses. The chances of being ejected from a vehicle are low if you wear a seatbelt. This is what people mean when they say that the seatbelt has reduced the rate of traffic fatalities more than any other motor vehicle safety feature. This fact has legal consequences, namely that insurance companies consider whether you were wearing a seatbelt when determining how much fault, if any, you bear for the accident. That means that, if you got seriously injured after being ejected from a vehicle, the insurance companies might pay only part of your medical bills if you were not wearing a seatbelt.
