Auto Injury

New Jersey has a reputation for its busy cities and many miles of bustling roads. A combination of high traffic volumes, roads that are often under-maintained, and growing rates of dangerous driving behaviors have led to rising rates of car accidents. However, a few stretches of road have remarkably high rates of traffic accidents and fatalities. From 2018 to 2020, roads like US-40, US-322, and I-80

Average Fibromyalgia Car Accident Settlements in New Jersey

Not hiring an attorney who will fight aggressively to win you the proper compensation could result in a quick settlement for much less money than you deserve. One of our clients had first retained a different attorney who urged her to settle her claim for only $34‚000. Knowing that her severe and permanent injuries called for more compensation than

It’s perfectly normal if you’re reluctant to hire a lawyer. A lot of people find the prospect intimidating or even downright scary.

Does hiring an injury attorney mean you have to accept that the auto accident was serious, and that you won’t be “bouncing back” right away?

Does the possibility make you think of dramatic trials you’ve seen on television, imagining a future where you have to

If one single question is more important than all the rest, it’s this: “Do I have a case?”

This is also one of the most challenging questions to answer.

Let me explain.

Every single car accident case is different. The causes are different. The consequences are different. The injuries, the insurance coverage, the way the accident affects the victim’s life – all of these factors are truly

A car wreck can bring about some of the most horrific injuries you can suffer. If you (or your loved one) sustained devastating spinal cord damage, a severed limb, or a serious blow to the head, then you already know how drastically a car accident injury can change your life. You were likely rushed straight from the scene of the crash to the hospital, possibly for a

You’ve been in a car accident, and you need medical care now. The question is, who pays for it?

New Jersey’s No-Fault Law

Under the state’s no-fault law, you’re the one responsible for your own medical bills – not the driver who caused the crash.

No-fault laws don’t mean that no one is at fault. Of course someone is! Instead, no-fault laws require the insurance company of

The insurance company isn’t on your side – not by a long shot. From the moment of your contract, the insurer’s goals directly oppose yours. You want to get the full amount of money you’re entitled to after a car accident. The insurance company wants to hold onto every possible dollar.

But it’s not just a matter of conflicting objectives. It’s also about how each party approaches

A lawyer represents you and advocates for your best interests. That support is critical in areas in which you are unfamiliar, which, for most people, includes the legal and insurance industries. It means that the damages you have suffered are taken seriously and, ultimately, reimbursed fairly.

Lawyers get their clients more money – a lot more. Statistically, the difference amounts to, on average, 3.5 times what unrepresented

First, you should know that you’re not alone in thinking this way. More than 14 percent of total survey respondents – nearly 30 percent of those who had been in an accident that was someone else’s fault – said they were reluctant to sue because they aren’t “that type of person.”

Not because they didn’t have legitimate injuries and damages. Not because they didn’t need that money

If you go to a hospital or an urgent care facility after an accident, the first thing doctors are likely to do is order imaging tests called X-rays. Sometimes, X-ray imaging results can leave you stumped. Your X-rays may be “negative” or “inconclusive,” but you’re not imagining the symptoms you’re experiencing.

What do you do next when you’re in pain after an accident but your X-rays are

Many types of evidence can be brought before the judge and jury in a court case. As one very common way people communicate today, text messages are among the types of evidence that could, under certain conditions, make their way into a trial—including, potentially, a personal injury trial.

How Can Text Messages Serve as Evidence in a Personal Injury Case? 

Text messages often serve as evidence in

A car spontaneously catching fire and seriously injuring its occupants or those nearby sounds like a nightmare, but this surreal situation is exactly why automakers Hyundai and Kia told hundreds of thousands of drivers to “park outside and away from structures.” Not everyone has this option, and even if you are able to follow this warning, it doesn’t guarantee that no one will get hurt in a

Taking an Uber or Lyft home from the bar, club, or party on New Year’s Eve is a smart and responsible decision when a person has been drinking. However, for rideshare drivers themselves, the last night of the year can hold a lot of risks.

If you drive for Uber, Lyft, or another rideshare service, be alert for drunk drivers on the road and for intoxicated passengers
