This field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.

No doubt you are shaken and upset after your accident. In fact, you may be lying in a hospital bed or unable to work. The last thing on your mind is hiring a lawyer. However, getting an NJ personal injury lawyer in your corner could actually be your greatest asset during this extremely difficult time.

You should also make sure you receive a copy of the police report and keep records of interactions you have had with law enforcement, if applicable. Even if you do not think you are injured, you must seek medical attention. An injury that seems minor may have disastrous consequences in the future if not taken care of right away.

Record all the information about the scene of the accident:

  • Was it a motor vehicle collision?
  • Do you suspect medical malpractice?
  • Were you bitten by a dog?

Keep the names and numbers of all parties involved, record where the incident happened, and take down information from witnesses.

Let your personal injury attorney handle all interactions between the parties’ insurance companies. Insurance adjusters do not have your best interests in mind, and we can help prevent them from trampling all over your right to full and fair compensation.
