We focus on personal injury and workers’ compensation in New Jersey. That includes car, truck, motorcycle, pedestrian, bicycle, and boating accidents; slip and fall and other premises liability claims; construction accidents; dog bites; casino negligence; catastrophic injuries; and wrongful death.
Often, yes. New Jersey follows a modified comparative negligence rule. You can recover damages as long as you are not more than 50% responsible, but your award is reduced by your share of fault.
Depending on the facts, you may recover medical bills, future medical care, lost wages, reduced earning capacity, and pain and suffering. In wrongful death cases, families may also recover lost financial support and funeral costs.
In most cases, New Jersey workers’ compensation is the remedy for workplace injuries, and you cannot sue your employer directly. If a third party, such as a subcontractor or equipment maker, caused the injury, you may have a separate lawsuit. Construction injuries often involve both.
Tell your employer right away. New Jersey law expects notice within 14 days, and waiting more than 90 days can put your benefits at risk. You generally have two years to file a formal workers’ compensation claim petition.
Yes, in most cases. New Jersey’s dog bite statute holds owners strictly liable when their dog bites someone in a public place or lawfully on private property, even if the dog never showed aggression before.
Call 911, get medical care, take photos of the scene, and collect the other driver’s insurance and contact information. Avoid giving a recorded statement to the other driver’s insurer before speaking with a lawyer. Then call us for a free case review.
Every case is different. Some claims settle in a few months, while cases with serious injuries or disputed fault can take a year or more, especially if a lawsuit is filed. We will give you a realistic timeline once we review your case.
