Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I have a personal injury claim?

Not every injury qualifies for legal action, but the ones caused by someone else’s negligent actions often do. So, if you believe your injuries only occurred because of the liable party’s carelessness, you should contact a Newark personal injury lawyer to gather evidence. They will gather pictures, videos, police reports, witness statements, and more to persuade the at-fault party’s insurance company to pay you the settlement you deserve.

What damages can I pursue in a New Jersey personal injury case?

Bringing a personal injury claim against the at-fault party is supposed to help you collect the money you need for your expenses after the accident. These expenses are called economic damages, and they often include medical treatment bills, property damage, lost wages, and loss of earning capacity. Non-economic damages are supposed to compensate you for the non-monetary losses that you can’t easily put a price on, such as pain and suffering and emotional distress. A fair settlement usually includes both economic and non-economic damages.

What is a premises liability case?

If your injury occurred on property owned by someone else, you may be able to file a premises liability claim to get compensation. Slip and fall accidents are a common example of this type of case. So, if you slipped on a loose step at a restaurant and sustained serious injuries, you can bring a claim against the business or property owner to cover your medical care, lost income, and any other expenses.

Who may be liable for medical malpractice?

If you or a family member were injured during a medical procedure – or if you were refused medical treatment that you clearly needed – you may be able to pursue compensation through a medical malpractice case. This type of legal action lets you hold medical professionals accountable for their negligence. This can include doctors, nurses, pharmacists, surgeons, hospital owners, and anyone else who neglected to provide the care you needed.

What financial compensation can I get from a New Jersey wrongful death claim?

If you believe someone else’s negligent actions caused your loved one’s unexpected death, you should contact a New Jersey law firm to discuss your potential wrongful death case. This type of claim can ensure you don’t have to be concerned about how to pay your bills after your devastating loss, as you can be compensated for the funeral and burial costs, unpaid hospital bills, and the loss of your deceased family member’s income. You might also collect damages for the loss of companionship, guidance, and more. Call our law firm to learn what your full and fair compensation should include.

What should I do after being injured in New Jersey?

The first step should be to see a doctor to get medical care for your injuries. Keep your receipts and treatment cost estimates as proof that you needed immediate medical help due to the incident. Then, contact experienced personal injury attorneys to discuss your legal rights, as you only have two years from the date of the injury to pursue compensation from the at-fault party.

What if I was severely injured at work?

If you suffered injuries on the job, you might qualify for workers’ compensation. Filing a claim can ensure your lost wages and medical treatment are covered, and we can assist with this. We can also determine if you can bring a personal injury lawsuit against a third party other than your employer, assuming the third party’s negligence caused your injuries. This can result in additional compensation, including loss of earning capacity and pain and suffering.

How much does it cost to hire a personal injury law firm?

Most law offices take on personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis, meaning you don’t pay any upfront fees for legal help pursuing damages. The firm gets paid once they win the case and the insurance company writes the settlement check. At that point, they’ll take a percentage of the total, depending on the arrangement discussed during your consultation. Additionally, most firms offer free consultations, so you should not have to pay upfront for help pursuing your full and fair compensation.
