What We Handle

Every type of car accident case. Every type of injury.

Rear-End Collisions

The most common accident — and insurers love to minimize them. We build the medical record to prove your injuries and maximize your recovery.

T-Bone & Intersection Accidents

Side-impact crashes cause serious injuries. We investigate liability, gather witness statements, and fight for full compensation.

Highway & Turnpike Accidents

High-speed crashes on the NJ Turnpike, Garden State Parkway, or I-95 often result in catastrophic injuries. We handle the complexity.

Drunk & Distracted Driver Accidents

When a driver was impaired or distracted, punitive damages may be available in addition to compensatory damages.

Rideshare Accidents (Uber/Lyft)

Uber and Lyft accidents involve multiple insurance policies. We navigate the complexity to maximize your recovery.

Truck & Commercial Vehicle Accidents

Trucking accidents involve federal regulations, multiple liable parties, and large insurance policies. We have the experience to handle them.

New Jersey No-Fault Law

NJ has no-fault insurance. You can still sue.

New Jersey is a no-fault state, which means your own insurance covers initial medical bills regardless of who caused the accident. But that does not mean you cannot sue the at-fault driver.

If you suffered a serious injury — including permanent injury, significant scarring, or a displaced fracture — you have the right to file a lawsuit for pain and suffering, lost wages, and future damages.

You have 2 years from the date of the accident to file. Do not wait — evidence disappears and witnesses forget.

What You Can Recover

Medical expenses (past and future), lost wages, loss of earning capacity, pain and suffering, and emotional distress.

Modified Comparative Negligence

Even if you were partially at fault, you can still recover — as long as you were less than 51% responsible. Your award is reduced by your percentage of fault.

Do Not Talk to the Insurance Company

Insurance adjusters work for the insurer, not you. Do not give recorded statements before speaking with an attorney. Anything you say can be used to reduce your claim.

Common Questions

Answers before you even call.

How long do I have to file a car accident lawsuit in NJ?

New Jersey's statute of limitations for personal injury claims is 2 years from the date of the accident. Missing this deadline permanently bars your right to recover. Contact us as early as possible — evidence is strongest when gathered immediately.

What should I do immediately after a car accident?

Call 911 and get a police report. Photograph the scene, all vehicles, and your injuries. Get medical attention right away — even if you feel fine. Get the other driver's insurance information. Do not give recorded statements to any insurance company before speaking with an attorney.

How much is my car accident case worth?

Every case is different. Compensation depends on the severity of your injuries, your medical bills, your lost wages, and the impact on your life. We will give you an honest assessment during your free consultation.

What if the other driver was uninsured?

Your own policy's uninsured motorist (UM) coverage may apply. We will review your policy and identify every available source of recovery.

Do I have to go to court?

Most personal injury cases settle without going to trial. But we prepare every case as if it will go to court — that preparation is what drives better settlements.
