Personal Injury

I have represented accident victims for twenty-five years. I am committed to protecting the rights of the injured and helping families cope with the physical, financial and emotional issues associated with catastrophic injuries or fatal accidents. The pain and injuries you suffer after a terrible accident or fall can affect your life permanently. Filing a lawsuit is your opportunity to get justice.

I am an experienced New Jersey personal injury lawyer who successfully handles the following types of cases:

• Wrongful death
• Motorcycle accidents
• Construction accidents
• Governmental liability
• Personal injury protection
• Insurance disputes
• Motor Vehicle Accidents Law
• Premises Liability Law and Slip-and-Falls
• Medical Malpractice Law
• Product Failure Law
• Workers Compensation Law
• Animal Bites Law

A serious injury can change your life in an instant. These injuries may include head injuries, brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, burn injuries, herniated or bulging discs, fractures, neck and back injuries, knee injuries, ankle injuries, muscle and ligament injuries, and eye injuries that can devastate one’s physical and emotional life permanently.

I handle personal injury cases on a contingent fee basis. That means you never have to pay me a fee in advance. My fee is a percentage of what I recover for you. I only get paid at the successful conclusion of your case from the money I obtain for you. I have already recovered several million dollars in verdicts and settlements.

Insurance and accident benefits can be a nightmare for the inexperienced, and with the imposition of time limits, thresholds and deductibles, you might see your entitlement to first-party benefits vanish or be drastically reduced if you aren't vigilant. Let me assist you in this process.

The process of pursuing a personal injury claim can be complicated. Some of the challenges that may be encountered include insurance issues, “verbal threshold” issues, uninsured or underinsured motorists issues, pre-existing injuries, governmental cases, and liability issues to name just a few.

I guide my clients through the process which can take up to several years in our courts. Some of the steps included are negotiating with the insurance companies, filing suit, attending court hearings such as arbitrations and settlement conferences, and preparing the case for trial. I have tried many cases before juries in New Jersey courts.

I will visit you in the hospital or at your home, if necessary. I put the needs of my clients above all else.

After you are hurt in an accident you should seek medical attention immediately and then call an attorney for representation.

Personal Injury Case Types

Motor Vehicle Accidents Law

From simple rear-end collisions to complex injury and death cases involving automobile, truck and motorcycle accidents, I handle all aspects of motor vehicle accident litigation. I am well-versed in the constantly-changing laws relating to motor vehicle liability and motor vehicle insurance, including the no-fault and uninsured motorist laws, and am experienced in dealing with the sophisticated issues involving accident reconstruction, biomechanics, and human factors that often arise in major motor vehicle accident cases.

Premises Liability Law and Slip-and-Falls

I also handle cases involving slip or trip-and-fall accidents, cases involving failure to provide adequate security, or other liability claims against property owners and managers. I have successfully resolved claims against a number of establishments where these property owners have failed to maintain their premises in a reasonably safe condition. Premises liability also includes buildings or lots that had insufficient security, allowing my client to be assaulted.

Medical Malpractice Law

Medical negligence on the part of physicians and hospitals can result in lifelong disability or death. I have prosecuted medical malpractice claims against healthcare providers of all kinds involving improper diagnosis, delayed diagnosis, substandard care, and negligence in providing care or performing surgical procedures. I am experienced in handling the often-complicated medical issues that arise in medical negligence cases.

Product Failure Law

When a dangerous product causes serious or multiple injuries.

Workers Compensation Law

I have helped union and non-union workers get compensation for injuries sustained at work.

Animal Bites Law

Very serious injuries can result from a dog or animal bite. Physical injuries caused by bites come in many forms and can be extremely painful and cause scarring and/or disfigurement. Because of the force that many animals have when biting, x-rays are frequently necessary to determine if there are broken bones or deep tissue damage. Orthopedic or Plastic Surgery might be recommended if these types of injuries are evident.
