NJ Personal Injury Attorney
Personal injuries occur frequently and personal injury lawsuits are the most common type of lawsuit in the United States. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) report that an estimated 1.4 million traumatic brain injury cases occur each year in the U.S., with 28 percent of these cases due to falls. A 2008 Survey of Occupational Injuries and illnesses conducted by the U.S. Department of Labor and Bureau of Labor Statistics showed that an average of one in 27 New Jersey workers sustained an occupational injury or illness and there were 117,900 work-related injury and illness cases in all New Jersey workplaces.
How New Jersey personal injury attorneys can help you
No matter the type of serious personal injury that you suffer, seek out the representation of an experienced New Jersey personal injury attorney. While you may think it is best to go it alone, to put yourself in the best position possible, you should speak to a NJ personal injury attorney for the following reasons:
- No recovery, no fee. Most attorneys offer a free initial consultation for personal injury cases. In the event the attorney decides to represent you, he or she can be expected to take your case on a contingency basis. This means that you do not pay any money for attorney fees until the attorney recovers monetary compensation for you through settlement or trial.
- Negotiation and trial experience. Your personal injury attorney can speak to all interested parties on your behalf. An insurance company can be expected to initially offer far less than it is willing to pay. Your attorney can negotiate with the insurance company and knows how to fight to obtain the maximum compensation possible for you. An experienced trial attorney has the skills and training to take your case to court. A study by the Insurance Research Council showed that parties with an attorney were likely to receive on average three and a half times more than those who did not hire an attorney.
- Knowledge of laws and procedures. An experienced attorney is familiar with the laws that are involved in your case and also is familiar with local courts and procedures. There is a statute of limitations for bringing personal injury cases in New Jersey. Your attorney can ensure that your case is filed in a timely fashion in accordance with all rules and procedures.
