Right-of-way doctrine & driver-duty rules
Pedestrians struck in Jersey City face a complex web of right-of-way rules (crosswalk vs midblock, marked vs unmarked, school-zone vs commercial). Under state law applies (NJSA 2A:15-5.1), your fault percentage matters even if the driver clearly hit you. We pull traffic-cam footage, business-surveillance video (often overwritten within 30-60 days), and the police report to lock in fault before evidence disappears. Many pedestrian cases involve uninsured drivers — UM/UIM coverage from the pedestrian's own auto policy often applies even when on foot.

Jersey City questions, answered.
I was hit as a pedestrian in Jersey City — can I recover even if I was crossing mid-block?

The driver's insurance offered me a settlement already — should I take it?
