Frequently asked questions
Straight answers to the questions we hear most from injured clients. Have one that isn't here? Reach out for a free consultation.
First, get to safety and call 911 if anyone is hurt. Report the accident to the police and make sure a report is filed. If you can, take photos of the scene, the vehicles, any visible injuries, and the surrounding conditions, and get the names and contact information of any witnesses.
Seek medical attention right away, even if you feel okay - some injuries surface hours or days later, and a prompt medical record helps protect your claim. Avoid giving recorded statements to the other driver's insurance company before speaking with an attorney.
Every case is different. The value depends on factors like the severity of your injuries, the cost of your medical treatment, lost wages, the long-term impact on your life, and the available insurance coverage.
The honest answer is that no one can give you a reliable number without reviewing the details of your specific situation. During your free consultation, we'll walk through what your claim may involve and what a fair recovery could look like.
Deadlines - called statutes of limitations - vary by state and by the type of claim. In New Jersey, personal injury claims generally must be filed within two years of the accident.
Claims against government entities (like a public bus or a municipal property) often have much shorter notice deadlines - sometimes just 90 days. Because missing a deadline can bar your claim entirely, it's important to reach out as soon as possible.
No. Personal injury cases in this network are handled on a contingency-fee basis, which means you pay nothing out of pocket to get started and owe no attorney's fee unless there is a recovery in your case.
Your free consultation costs nothing, and there's no obligation to move forward.
You may still be able to recover. New Jersey follows comparative negligence rules, which means your compensation can be reduced by your share of fault rather than eliminated entirely.
Insurance companies often try to shift more blame onto you to pay less. We help make sure fault is assessed fairly and that your right to recover is protected.
Be careful. The other driver's insurance company is not on your side - its goal is to settle for as little as possible, and early statements can be used against you.
It's usually best to speak with an attorney before giving any recorded statement or accepting any offer. We can handle communications with the insurers on your behalf so nothing you say is used to undercut your claim.
It depends on the complexity of your case, the severity of your injuries, and whether it settles or goes to litigation. Some cases resolve in a few months; others, especially those involving serious injuries or disputed liability, can take a year or longer.
We work to move your case forward efficiently while never rushing you into a settlement that's less than you deserve.
We can still help. Through our trusted network of experienced attorneys, we're able to connect injured clients with qualified representation in other states as well.
