Let Us Talk to an Insurance Company on Your Behalf

Most accidents put you in immediate contact with someone who has insurance. This means you likely have the right to request compensation for minor injuries and other losses from an insurance company. Unfortunately, insurance companies want to protect their assets, not you.

In an effort to deny you the support you deserve, insurance companies may ghost you, minimize your losses, or even hide evidence from you.

Legal counsel can help you hold a reticent insurance company financially responsible for your life-changing injuries. If you’re struggling to get the support you deserve from an insurance claims adjuster, let our team step in. We can mitigate bad-faith attempts to minimize your losses and help you file an appeal if necessary.

How We Build Your Personal Injury Case

Understanding personal injury law in New Jersey is key to building a compelling case for compensation. Seeking damages from the at-fault party means proving their duty to provide you with reasonable care and their breach of that duty. It also means proving their breach caused your physical and financial damages.

To establish this, we can:

• Investigate your accident
• Identify the at-fault party
• Handle insurance forms
• Interpret laws and statutes
• Assemble and present evidence
• Negotiate an out-of-court settlement

While we build your case, we will handle communications and negotiations so you have the time you need to focus on getting better. We will also represent you in court if your case does not produce an appropriate insurance settlement.

How We Reconstruct Your Accident

Our personal injury lawyers in Clifton, NJ, may need to reconstruct your accident to understand how it happened and who is responsible. 

To do that, we may locate and interview witnesses and request multiple documents from you and other sources. Those documents and evidence may include the following:

• Crash reports in car accident cases
• Animal control reports in dog bite cases
• Use manuals in property damage cases
• Oral and written witness statements
• Medical records and bills
• Injury and accident scene photos and videos

Our Clifton City Attorneys Help You Personalize Your Approach to a Personal Injury Claim

When you bring your personal accident claim to the attention of a county clerk and related parties, you ask those parties to weigh in on your right to financial compensation after an accident. It’s up to these parties to move your case forward. Without these parties’ approval, you may not have the right to fight for the compensation you deserve in civil court.

If your case does move forward, you have additional decisions to make. Specifically, you need to determine whether you want to negotiate for a personal injury settlement or if you want to bring your claim before a judge.

There is no “best” way to secure a settlement after a personal injury accident. Instead, if you believe you can negotiate for compensation, you can meet out-of-court to discuss your losses. Alternatively, if you believe the oversight of a judge may help your case, you can prepare for a deposition.

Defining Your Recoverable Damages

A personal injury lawsuit should help you secure maximum compensation from the at-fault party responsible for your recent accident. Our legal strategies allow us to elaborate on the financial and emotional losses you sustain due to someone else’s negligence, thereby optimizing your request for fair compensation.

We break your losses down into two categories: economic and non-economic. When filing your claim for compensation, we look for evidence that determines these losses’ values.

The losses that personal injury clients like you can integrate into a claim can include the following:

• Ambulance fees and emergency medical expenses
• Long-term medical bills
• Income loss or lost opportunities to return to work
• Property damage and restoration
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional trauma
• Temporary or permanent disabilities

Catastrophic injuries, including internal organ damage and traumatic brain injuries, may entitle you and your loved ones to additional support. A judge may even choose to award you punitive damages if evidence reveals that a liable party engaged in gross negligence at the time of your accident.

Remember, you don’t have to calculate the value of the compensation you deserve on your own. Injured parties deserve space and time to rest. Our personal injury attorneys in Clifton can instead step up, investigate the value of your losses, and use our familiarity with the civil system to maximize the monetary compensation you receive from an at-fault party.

You Can Use Our Professional Network to Connect With a Broader Community

Recovering from an accident of any kind can take a considerable amount of time. In between all of the doctors’ visits, property assessments, and conversations with your insurance provider, you may feel as though you don’t have time to pursue a personal injury claim. 

Fortunately, the City of Clifton representatives can spearhead your legal efforts without taking time away from your recovery.

Specifically, our experienced attorneys can ensure that you have the time to investigate the role negligence played in your case without taking time away from your recovery. We can return to the scene of your accident, wrangle bystanders’ contact information, and work with local law enforcement to adequately address the nature of your accident.

All the while, we can keep you up-to-date on the progress of your case. If we need your input or otherwise discover information that feels immediately relevant to your overall well-being, we can call you. Our attorneys can work with your schedule to get relevant information into your hands.

Get Us Involved in Your Case Right Away

The filing deadline for an accidental injury in Clinton is determined by New Jersey state law. If you were injured or someone you love was fatally injured, the following statutes determine your appropriate filing deadline:

• The personal injury statute of limitations is generally two years, according to NJ Rev Stat §2A:14-2.
• The wrongful death statute of limitations is also generally two years, according to NJ Rev Stat §2A:31-3.

Getting our team involved right away allows us to help you comply with the statute of limitations. It also helps when investigating your accident if your lawyer can interview witnesses and collect evidence sooner rather than later. Additional benefits of early intervention include time to negotiate a favorable settlement thoroughly.
