We handle personal injury cases across New Jersey. Here is what we work on and how we approach each type of claim.
New Jersey has some of the most congested roads in the country. Between the Turnpike, the Parkway, and local highways, accidents happen daily. If another driver caused your crash through distracted driving, speeding, running a red light, or driving drunk, you have the right to pursue compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain, and suffering.
New Jersey follows a modified comparative negligence rule. You can still recover damages even if you were partially at fault, as long as your share of the blame is 50% or less. The amount you receive gets reduced by your percentage of fault. Read our guide on what to do after a car accident and learn how NJ car accident claims work.
Wet floors, icy sidewalks, broken stairs, poor lighting in parking garages. Property owners in New Jersey have a legal duty to maintain safe conditions. When they skip basic maintenance or ignore known hazards, and someone gets hurt as a result, that's a premises liability case.
These cases often come down to proving the property owner knew about the dangerous condition or should have known about it. We gather maintenance records, security footage, incident reports, and witness statements to establish negligence. Read our full guide on slip and fall rights in NJ.
Doctors, surgeons, nurses, and other healthcare providers are supposed to follow established standards of care. When they don't, the consequences can be severe. Misdiagnosed conditions, surgical errors, anesthesia mistakes, birth injuries, and medication errors all fall under medical malpractice.
New Jersey requires an Affidavit of Merit from a qualified medical expert, served within 60 days of the defendant's answer. We work with medical professionals across multiple specialties to review your records. Learn more in our medical malpractice basics guide and understand what damages you can recover.
When a commercial truck hits a passenger vehicle, the injuries are almost always serious. Truck accident cases also involve federal regulations that don't apply to regular car crashes, including hours of service rules, vehicle inspection requirements, and cargo loading standards.
Multiple parties could be liable: the driver, the trucking company, the cargo loading crew, or the manufacturer. We investigate all of these possibilities and pull driver logs, black box data, maintenance records, and hiring practices. Get the full picture in our truck accident guide.
When someone dies because of another person's negligence, New Jersey law allows certain family members to file a wrongful death claim. The surviving spouse, children, or other dependents can seek compensation for lost financial support, loss of companionship, and funeral expenses.
These cases have a two year statute of limitations in New Jersey, running from the date of death. We handle these claims with the care they require. Read our complete wrongful death claims guide.
If you were hurt while doing your job, New Jersey workers' compensation covers your medical treatment and a portion of your lost wages. You don't have to prove your employer was at fault to receive benefits.
If a third party caused your workplace injury, you may be able to file both a workers' comp claim and a separate personal injury lawsuit. Learn the differences in our workers' comp vs. personal injury guide.
Motorcycle riders face unique risks. Other drivers fail to check blind spots, make left turns into oncoming motorcycles, or follow too closely. When these crashes happen, the rider usually takes the worst of it because there's no metal cage for protection.
Insurance companies sometimes try to blame riders for their own injuries. We push back with evidence: police reports, traffic camera footage, expert accident reconstruction, and witness testimony. See our motorcycle accident claims article.
New Jersey follows a strict liability rule for dog bites. The dog owner is responsible regardless of whether the dog has bitten anyone before. You don't have to prove the owner was negligent or that the dog had known aggression.
Dog bite injuries can include nerve damage, scarring, emotional trauma, and sometimes require reconstructive surgery. We pursue full compensation for all of these harms. Read about NJ dog bite laws in detail.
Beyond slip and fall cases, premises liability covers a range of situations where unsafe property conditions cause injury. Inadequate security, a collapsing deck, exposed wiring, falling merchandise at a retail store.
The legal standard differs depending on your status on the property. Business visitors get the highest protection, social guests get a moderate level, and even trespassers have some rights in limited circumstances. Our premises liability guide explains how it works.
When a defective product causes injury, the manufacturer, distributor, or retailer may be liable. This covers design defects, manufacturing defects, and failure to warn.
New Jersey's Product Liability Act (N.J.S.A. 2A:58C-1) sets specific rules for these claims. You generally have two years from the date of injury to file. Read our product liability guide for full details.
