Common personal injury claims

Accidents leading to personal injury claims happen in numerous ways. The common denominator is that someone else’s carelessness or intentional misconduct harmed a victim. Many of these cases arise from the following types of incidents:  

  • Car accidents
  • Truck crashes
  • Motorcycle accidents 
  • Pedestrian accidents
  • Slip-and-fall injuries
  • Workplace accidents
  • Dog bites
  • Malfunctioning consumer products

No matter what specifically caused your injuries, if they can be traced to another person, a business, organization or government entity, our firm will press to hold the liable party, or parties, accountable. 

When to hire a personal injury lawyer

Whether you’ve been hurt in a vehicle crash and require a Sussex County car accident lawyer, or your claim relates to another type of incident, our attorneys advocate for compensation that that fully addresses your current and future damages. If the insurance company is delaying, ignoring or lowballing your claim, we know how to counter their tactics and compel them to fulfill their legal responsibility. Should the person who caused your accident allege you were at fault, we’ll push back against unwarranted allegations and gather evidence to prove liability.  
With rare exceptions, the statute of limitations for filing a personal injury lawsuit is two years in New Jersey. If you miss this deadline, you may be unable to obtain legal relief. You should not delay in speaking with an attorney if you are considering bringing a personal injury case.  

Proving liability for a Sussex County personal injury claim

Our firm will thoroughly investigate the facts of your case to construct the strongest possible argument for liability and damages. Specific forms of evidence that might support your claim include the following:

  • Police and first-responder reports
  • Eyewitness statements
  • Hospital and doctor reports
  • Camera and video footage of the incident
  • Road and weather conditions at the time of the accident
  • For product injuries, the actual product that malfunctioned
  • Testimony from accident reconstruction professionals, medical professionals and other expert witnesses


We will work hard to build a persuasive case against the liable party or parties in order to secure maximum compensation for your injuries. 

How long does it take to settle a personal injury case in NJ?

The timeframe of a personal injury case depends on many factors. The severity of injuries, how many parties were involved and how strong the evidence is of negligence are often key determinants. Cases that can be settled with insurance companies outside of court may take from a few months to a year to resolve. Matters that do not settle, and go to litigation can take a year or longer. When we handle your claim, we will seek to recover the payment you deserve as promptly as possible. 

Getting financial compensation for an injury in Sussex County NJ

Damages in personal injury cases can include compensation for the following:

  • Medical bills
  • Lost wages and benefits
  • Loss of future earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress
  • Punitive damages

Our law firm will advise you on what an appropriate demand would be. If you sustained an injury at work, workers’ compensation insurance may pay your medical bills and a portion of your lost wages. You could also seek damages through a personal injury claim if a third party (not your employer or a co-worker) was responsible for the incident.
