Frequently Asked Questions About Injury Cases in Jersey City
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in New Jersey?
In most cases, you have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, certain claims—especially those involving government agencies—have shorter deadlines. Don’t wait to contact an attorney.
What if I was partially at fault for the accident?
New Jersey follows a rule called comparative negligence. You can still recover compensation as long as you were less than 51% at fault, but your damages may be reduced.
Do I have to go to court to win my case?
Not always. Many personal injury claims are resolved through settlement. We prepare every case thoroughly, but only a small percentage go to trial.
How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer?
We work on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay nothing unless we win your case. The fee is a percentage of your settlement or court award.
Will I speak directly with an attorney or just staff?
When you work with our firm, you’ll speak directly with your attorney—not just assistants or case managers. We believe in personal service and clear communication.
