What is your New Jersey personal injury case worth?

The amount you receive in a New Jersey personal injury case depends on a few significant factors, such as the extent of your injuries and how much property damage you incurred.

Types of compensation that may be available to you are:

• Medical expenses – reimbursement for hospital bills, doctors’ visits, medication, medical devices, and all other health expenses relating to your injury.

• Lost wages – compensation for past, present, and future lost income due to your injuries.

• Property damage – money for anything that was damaged in the accident, such as a vehicle, clothing, or other personal property.

• Pain and suffering – a non-economic award to compensate you for the emotional and physical pain you endured.

• Emotional distress – money for the turmoil that accompanied your accident.

• Loss of enjoyment of life – when your injuries prevent you from enjoying activities you once loved and interfere with your personal relationships, you might be able to collect compensation.

• Punitive damages – serious cases might warrant punitive damages, which is additional compensation added to your award, intended to prevent further wrongdoing from the negligent party.

Why Do I Need to Hire a New Jersey Injury Attorney?

Insurance companies do not want to pay the true value of your claim. Adjusters for insurance companies use several methods and tactics to undervalue and deny valid injury claims. You need an attorney who protects your legal rights, understands the full value of your claim, and aggressively fights inside and outside of the courtroom for maximum compensation of all damages.

Do not let an insurance company, defense attorney, or an adjuster cheat you out of the money you deserve for your injury claim.

Accepting Insurance Settlements

A personal injury settlement is a quick way of resolving an injury dispute by preventing the case from going to trial. Trials can be tedious and occasionally expensive, so if the negligent party’s insurance company makes a satisfactory offer, it may be in your best interests to take it.

Since most of your personal injury settlements will consist of your medical bills and lost wages, we will propose a settlement amount to the defendant that adequately covers your expenses.

The defense will usually submit a counter offer significantly less than initially proposed. Whether you want to demand a settlement from the negligent party or have been offered a settlement, you must consult an experienced attorney before making such a big decision.

At Aiello, Harris, Abate Law Group, PC, our attorneys, have your best interests at heart during every step of the process and will fight to get you the justice you deserve.

Preparing for your New Jersey personal injury deposition

You’ll need to participate in a deposition as part of your case. Depositions typically occur outside of the courtroom and give each side a chance to learn everything they need to know about the other party.

Here are some examples of deposition questions you may be asked:

• What were you doing at the time of the accident and where were you going?
• Was anyone with you at the time of the accident?
• What injuries did you sustain?
• Have you filed any lawsuits or legal claims before?
• What is your medical and accident history?
• Do you have a criminal record?
• Do you have any impairment because of the accident?
• What is your employment history?
• Did you file any insurance claims because of the accident?
• Were you obeying all traffic, pedestrian, and other laws during the time of the accident?

This is just a sampling of the types of questions that may be asked. There is no need to be nervous about being deposed — your personal injury lawyer at Aiello, Harris, Abate Law Group, PC,  will thoroughly prepare you for your deposition beforehand.

Fighting for victims of car accidents, dog bites, work injuries and more

Suffering a personal injury results in a great deal of both physical and emotional pain. If someone else’s negligence caused an injury to you or your loved one, you have the right to seek proper compensation. Since 1955, the dedicated New Jersey personal injury lawyers at Aiello, Harris, Abate Law Group, PC, have been helping injured individuals throughout state obtain the compensation they deserve.

Experience in a Wide Range of Areas

Negligence knows no restrictions. Fortunately, our attorneys have experience handling numerous personal injury cases. Car accidents are the most common cause of personal injury. This is especially true if you’ve been involved in a side-impact collision, as they are known to cause drastic damage to both vehicles and their drivers.

Another common cause of injuries is a slip and fall accident. Property owners are tasked with ensuring that their property is consistently kept safe. Failure to do so can result in icy walkways, broken pavement, and other dangerous conditions that lead to serious accidents and injuries, such as back, disc, neck, and head issues.

The personal injury attorneys at Aiello, Harris, Abate Law Group, PC, will aggressively represent you in all personal injury cases to ensure you are awarded the compensation you deserve for your pain and suffering.
