Frequently asked questions
Do I have a personal injury case?
If you were hurt because someone else was careless — a driver, a property owner, a doctor, a manufacturer — you may have a claim. The best way to find out is a free consultation, where we review what happened, the injuries involved, and whether negligence can be proven. There is no cost and no obligation.
What types of damages can I recover in NJ?
New Jersey injury victims can generally recover economic damages (medical bills, future care, lost wages, and lost earning capacity) and non-economic damages (pain and suffering, disfigurement, and loss of enjoyment of life). In cases involving a death, families may recover for lost support and companionship.
What is the statute of limitations for personal injury claims in NJ?
Most personal injury claims in New Jersey must be filed within two years of the date of the injury. Some claims — such as those against public entities or involving medical malpractice discovery rules — have shorter notice requirements or different timelines, so it is important to speak with a lawyer early.
How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer in NJ?
Nothing up front. We work on a contingency fee, which means you pay no attorney's fee unless we recover money for you. We also advance the costs of building your case, and the consultation is always free.
What information should I gather for my case?
Anything you have: photos of the scene and your injuries, names and contact information for witnesses, a copy of any police or incident report, your medical records and bills, and correspondence from any insurance company. If you don't have all of it, don't worry — we help you collect what's needed.
