Slip & Fall Accidents

Property owners and businesses in New Jersey have a legal duty to maintain safe conditions. When a wet floor, broken pavement, or poorly lit stairwell causes a fall, we hold negligent owners accountable.

Construction Accidents

Construction sites are among the most dangerous workplaces in New Jersey. When a fall, equipment failure, or unsafe condition causes a serious injury, injured workers may have claims beyond workers' compensation — including third-party liability claims against contractors and site owners.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About Personal Injury Claims in New Jersey

  • How do I file a personal injury claim in New Jersey?

    The process starts with documenting your injuries and reporting the accident — whether to the police, your employer, or the property owner depending on the type of incident. From there, you'll want an attorney involved before you speak with any insurance adjuster. Anything you say to the other party's insurer can be used to reduce your claim. We handle the filing, the negotiation, and the litigation so you can focus on recovering.

  • How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in New Jersey?

    New Jersey's statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is two years from the date of the accident. Missing that deadline means losing your right to recover. If your claim involves a government entity — such as a municipality or public transit — the notice requirements are much shorter, sometimes as little as 90 days.

  • What does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer?

    Nothing upfront. We handle personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis, which means we only get paid if you recover compensation. There are no retainers, no hourly fees, and no out-of-pocket costs to get started.

  • What if the insurance company already made me an offer?

    Don't accept it without speaking to an attorney first. Initial settlement offers from insurance companies are almost always lower than what the claim is actually worth. Once you accept a settlement, you typically cannot go back and ask for more — even if your injuries turn out to be more serious than expected.

  • Can I still recover compensation if I was partly at fault?

    Yes. New Jersey follows a modified comparative negligence rule. As long as you are not more than 50% at fault for the accident, you can still recover damages — though your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault.
