A: The answer depends on several factors but the hardest factor to always prove is that the accident was the cause of these ailments.

A: The answer depends on a number of factors, some of which are:

What is your tort threshold on your auto policy, i.e. your right to sue for pain and suffering,

Have you had a MRI since this accident and any before the accident and what do they demonstrate,

What is the nature and extent of your treatment for the present accident.

You should speak with an attorney who is Certified by the New Jersey Supreme Court as a Civil Trial Lawyer, many of whom answer questions herein.
