What these numbers can and cannot tell you
The counts on this page are police-reported car accidents from NJDOT crash records, analyzed by us. They show where and when accidents where someone was hurt happened in Camden County. They do not show who was at fault in any accident, and they say nothing about whether you have a claim or what it could be worth.
Rules that apply anywhere in New Jersey
- Your own auto policy's PIP pays eligible medical expenses "no matter who caused the auto accident," up to your policy's limit and after its deductible and co-pay. If you chose your health insurance as primary, it pays first and PIP pays second. A claim against the other driver for pain and suffering is separate: it depends on fault and on the lawsuit option on your policy. 8
- Being partly at fault does not stop you from recovering, as long as your share is not greater than the other driver's, or the combined share of all the drivers you claim against (the "51 percent" rule). Your damages are reduced by your share. 9
- If someone is hurt or killed, or property damage to any one person is over $500, the driver must tell the police right away and send a written report to the Motor Vehicle Commission within 10 days, unless a police officer files one. If police did not investigate, New Jersey's SR-1 self-reporting form is the form for that. 10
- An injury lawsuit generally must be filed within two years, and a claim against a public body (a town, the state, NJ Transit) needs a written notice within 90 days. These are general rules with exceptions; check your own dates with a lawyer. 11

How we counted
- Records: NJDOT crash records for Camden County, 2023 to 2025, deaths supplemented from State Police fatal statistics. An injury accident is one where someone was hurt or killed; counts are not fault, risk or claim value.
- 2023 looks incomplete: 55% of the 2024 count here, against 90% statewide (53,500 and 59,466). 2025 is preliminary.
- Roads are grouped by route number (County Routes 673 and 534 tie at 91, below the table). A named State Police station is read as a State Police report.
- Gibbsboro Road combines its Clementon (25), Lindenwold (10) and one variant row; other spellings are not merged, so other corners are a floor. Six corners tie at 4.
- Type table pedestrians count injury accidents only (160).
