What is the name of your state? Connecticut
I was rear ended in an auto accident while living in NJ on Oct. 28,2007 ,but I now live in CT....Do I have to get a lawyer in NJ or can I get one in CT.

You can get a lawyer in CT but he/she will have to be licensed to practice in NJ.

So it would probably be better to somehow work with a laywer in NJ.... Also are there laywers that get paid by a percentage of the settlement so that I dont have to put any money out up front,as I dont have the money to do that.

 

[ecmst12]

I'm sure there are plenty of lawyers in CT that also practice in NJ since they are so close together. Most personal injury lawyers work on contingency.
