Dependable legal support across the full spectrum of personal injury cases

Experience counts when selecting a law firm to work in your behalf after you suffer a serious injury. We have extensive background handling claims involving:

• Motor vehicle accidents — Our attorneys assist vehicle occupants and pedestrians injured in auto accidents, trucking accidents and motorcycle crashes. We know how to navigate New Jersey's no-fault car insurance system to get maximum recovery for clients.
• Premises liability — Property owners and managers have a duty to ensure their properties are reasonably safe for visitors. If they fail to do so, they can be held liable for damages. Slip and fall accidents and dog bites are examples of incidents that can lead to premises liability claims.
• Product liability — If you were injured by a consumer product, you may be able to file a claim if there were errors in the design, manufacturing or marketing of the product. We have a history of successfully standing up to companies that allow defective products into the marketplace.
• Medical malpractice — Healthcare providers are supposed to heal patients, yet injuries often result from negligence in diagnosis and treatment. We hold physicians, nurses, chiropractors, pharmacists, dentists and medical facilities accountable for causing harm to patients.
• Construction accidents — An employee injured in a construction accident or other on-the-job incident usually is limited to workers' compensation as their exclusive remedy. However, if a third-party's negligence contributed to the accident, that party may be held liable in a civil claim.
• Nursing home negligence and abuse — If your elderly family member was injured due to negligence or abuse in a nursing facility, you can count on our legal team to stand up vigorously to hold all responsible parties accountable.
• Wrongful death — When someone dies due to negligent or deliberate conduct by another person, the victim's family may be able to recover compensation through a wrongful death lawsuit. We provide compassionate representation while forcefully bringing the liable parties to justice.

Damages in a personal injury case can include reimbursement for medical and rehabilitation expenses, lost wages and future income. You also may be able to recover for pain and suffering and emotional distress. If you are considering a claim, don't wait to speak with our attorney. The statute of limitations for filing a wrongful death claim in New Jersey is usually two years from the date of death.
