Linden Personal Injury Referrals
The official municipal website identifies the jurisdiction as the City of Linden, New Jersey, located in Union County, NJ. City Hall and police headquarters are listed at 301 North Wood Avenue, Linden, NJ 07036. This page separates local reporting and records information from a request for a possible attorney introduction. WeGotInjured.com is an attorney referral service, not a law firm; we do not provide legal advice or determine fault, case value, or representation.
Reporting and safety information for Linden
For emergencies, Linden’s official directory says to call 911; for non-emergency police matters it lists (908) 474-8500. For a New Jersey crash not investigated by police, NJDOT provides the SR-1 self-reporting route at https://dot.nj.gov/transportation/refdata/accident/selfreporting.shtm. NJDOT warns that NJTR-1 police crash-investigation forms are for information only and cannot be used by the public to report a crash: https://dot.nj.gov/transportation/refdata/accident/forms.shtm. These state pages do not determine whether a particular crash must be reported or establish a Linden-specific deadline. [1]
