PERSONAL INJURY FAQ

Do I have a case? You may if someone else’s carelessness caused your injury. We review duty, breach, causation, and damages during a free case evaluation.
What does it cost to hire a lawyer? No upfront fees. We work on contingency, which means you pay nothing unless we recover compensation for you.
Will I have to go to court? Many cases settle. If an insurer is unfair, our team is ready to take your case to trial.
What should I do right after an accident or injury? Get medical care first. If you can, take photos, keep all paperwork and receipts, get witness names, and talk to a lawyer before giving any statement to insurance.
Who pays my medical bills first in a car or pedestrian accident? In many Pennsylvania and New Jersey cases, your own auto insurance or a family member’s policy pays first through PIP. After that, you may bring a claim against the at fault driver.
What if I am partly at fault? Both Pennsylvania and New Jersey use comparative negligence. You may still recover money as long as you are not more than 50 percent at fault. Your compensation is simply reduced by your share of fault.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim? In most Pennsylvania and New Jersey personal injury cases, you have about two years from the date of the accident, but deadlines can vary. It is important to talk to a lawyer as soon as possible so you do not miss your statute of limitations.
What kinds of compensation can I recover? You may be able to recover medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. In some cases, there may also be punitive damages when the conduct was especially reckless.
Can I still have a case if I did not feel pain right away? Yes. Many injuries show up or worsen over time. Getting checked by a doctor and documenting symptoms early can protect both your health and your claim.
Can I have a personal injury claim and a disability claim at the same time? Yes. Many people pursue both a personal injury case and disability benefits. Our team can help coordinate these so one claim does not accidentally hurt the other.
