How Can Our Personal Injury Lawyers Help You?
Navigating injury claims without legal representation can be difficult, especially when dealing with insurance companies determined to minimize your compensation. Our attorneys level the playing field by:
Conducting Thorough Investigations
We leave no stone unturned when investigating your accident. This includes gathering police reports, interviewing witnesses, collecting medical records, and consulting with experts to establish liability and the full extent of your damages. Our law firm has the resources and knowledge to handle complex cases involving serious injury and catastrophic injuries.
Calculating the True Value of Your Claim
Many accident victims underestimate the long-term costs of their injuries. Our personal injury attorneys consider all aspects of your damages, including:
- Current and future medical bills
- Lost wages and diminished earning capacity
- Rehabilitation costs
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Loss of enjoyment of life
According to the National Safety Council, the average economic cost of a disabling injury can exceed $100,000, not including pain and suffering and other non-economic damages that may significantly increase the value of your claim.
Negotiating with Insurance Companies
Insurance adjusters often use tactics to reduce settlement amounts. Our experienced negotiators know these strategies and work to counter them, advocating strongly for your best interests throughout the settlement process. We protect your rights and fight for the justice you deserve.
Providing Litigation Representation When Necessary
While most people prefer to settle cases before trial, we prepare every case as if it will go to court. If fair settlement negotiations fail, our Certified Civil Trial Attorneys have the courtroom experience to present your case effectively before a judge and jury.
What Compensation Can You Recover?
New Jersey law allows personal injury victims to seek several types of damages, depending on the circumstances of their case:
Economic Damages
These compensate for financial losses with specific dollar amounts, including:
- Medical bills and ongoing treatment costs
- Lost wages and reduced future earning capacity
- Property damage
- Home modifications to accommodate disabilities
- Transportation to medical appointments
Non-Economic Damages
These address intangible losses that don’t have set financial values:
- Physical pain and suffering
- Emotional distress and mental anguish
- Loss of consortium (impact on marital relationship)
- Diminished quality of life
- Permanent disfigurement or disability
In cases involving particularly egregious conduct, punitive damages may occasionally be available to punish the wrongdoer and deter similar behavior in the future.
How Long Do You Have to File Personal Injury Claims in New Jersey?
New Jersey’s statute of limitations generally gives you two years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, this timeline can vary based on several factors:
- Claims against government entities require notice within 90 days
- Minors may have extended deadlines
- Discovery rule exceptions may apply when injuries aren’t immediately apparent
- Wrongful death lawsuit filings have specific deadlines
- Medical malpractice cases may have different timeframes
Missing these deadlines can permanently bar your right to recover compensation. That’s why it’s crucial to contact a personal injury lawyer as soon as possible after your accident.
