Personal injury lawyer in Hoboken, New Jersey

A personal injury can alter the course of your life, leading to both physical and financial challenges. In such cases, a personal injury lawyer can help alleviate the stress and uncertainty and help you get the compensation you are entitled to.

The legal system in New Jersey offers various avenues for injured individuals to recover from those who are legally responsible. A personal injury attorney will assess the facts of your case and decide whether there is a valid legal reason to take legal action against one or more parties.

Examples of damages that you may be able to recover include:

  • Economic damages, which include costs that you incur as a result of the injury, such as costs associated with medical treatment (including transportation to appointments), lost wages, and caregiver costs.
  • Non-economic damages, such as punitive damages, pain and suffering, or loss of a spouse.

What kinds of damages are recoverable in New Jersey personal injury claims?

Victims of personal injuries can recover various types of damages under New Jersey law. The kind of damages and the amount recoverable varies depending on the facts of each case. You may be able to recover economic damages, non-economic damages, or both, depending on your situation.

Economic damages include

  • Medical expenses for treatment related to your injuries
  • Medical expenses for anticipated future treatment related to your injuries
  • Reimbursement for medical devices, prosthetics, or mobility assistance tools
  • Lost wages
  • Other expenses related to your injuries, such as transportation to medical treatment, childcare, expenses for caregivers or household help, and other necessary costs
  • Loss of future earning capacity
  • Funeral expenses

Non-economic damages include

  • Pain and suffering
  • Loss of consortium (loss of companionship for a spouse)
  • Punitive damages

Many factors contribute to the value of a personal injury case, including the type and severity of injuries, the short and long-term effects of the injuries, any contributory fault on the victim’s part, the seriousness of the responsible party’s conduct, failure to meet their legal obligations, and more.

In many cases, an attorney will negotiate outstanding third-party expenses and debts (like liens for medical bills, workers’ compensation payments, Medicare/Medicaid liens, and others) and pay them out of any settlement proceeds. This can allow victims to defer payment on their medical treatment expenses and other debts while their case is proceeding. Having this breathing room can allow you to pursue a fair resolution of your claim rather than feeling pressure to settle quickly.
