You Have Rights After An Accident In New Jersey

In New Jersey, a personal injury can be defined as any injury sustained as a result of the medical malpractice of a single doctor or hospital-wide, accidents involving automobiles or motorbikes, elder or nursing home abuse, slip-and-falls and injuries sustained from a faulty product.

There are several factors that must be proven to successfully litigate a personal injury case and get the compensation you are owed for your injury:

That an individual or company had a duty to ensure that your injury did not occur.
That this person was not acting according to their duty and put you and possibly others at risk.
That their breach of duty and irresponsibility was responsible for your injury.
You experienced physical, emotional or financial damages because of your injuries.

It is vital that if you have experienced an injury due to some of the factors listed above that you get into contact with legal representation as quickly as possible. As these cases all have a statute of limitations that may pass if you take too long to file your case, do not allow the statute of limitations to take away the compensation you need and deserve.

Types Of Personal Injury Claims

There are several forms of personal injuries for which you can collect compensation. Below is a more detailed list:

Medical Malpractice

If you went into a hospital to seek treatment for something and left worse off than when you walked in, what do you do? Although every medical procedure does contain an element of risk there are steps that a hospital or doctor can take to decrease the risk as much as possible.

Common examples of medical malpractice include:

Misdiagnosis: This is when a doctor or hospital incorrectly diagnoses you with a condition or disease and provides treatment that, at best, doesn’t help with the disease or condition you have. In some cases, these treatments may do more damage on top of the issues you already have, for instance, if the hospital misdiagnoses you with cancer and employs chemotherapy which destroys your immune system.
Delayed Diagnosis: This occurs when a doctor or hospital doesn’t see the signs and symptoms of a disease such as cancer early. This can lead to extremely serious and possibly preventable injuries.
Infection: An infection can occur when a hospital does not effectively and regularly sanitize its tools for procedures.
Negligence: When a doctor doesn’t pay attention during a procedure and puts his patient at risk.

If your injury was caused by a doctor or surgeon’s error and even in the case of unsanitary conditions within the hospital, they are liable for your injuries. Essentially, if the hospital caused your injury, even by accident, they are responsible for your injury and therefore, responsible for providing you with the compensation you deserve.

Auto Accidents

At Flynn Law, we have represented thousands of clients in New Jersey in their automobile accident cases. If you have experienced a personal injury from an automobile accident in the state of New Jersey, we have you covered.

Provided below are some of the most common causes of personal injuries in automobile accidents:

If another driver on the roadway has put both their own safety as well as the safety of others at risk by driving while intoxicated or drowsy.
Accidents caused by a car passenger’s negligent actions place liability on the passenger, even if the driver is not responsible
If you were hit by a car and the driver decided it would be a good idea to leave the scene of the accident to avoid punishment for the accident.
If you were either hit by a car while walking as a pedestrian or you were driving and a pedestrian acted negligently and caused you to get into an accident.
Motorcycle accidents.
Bicycle accidents, as a pedestrian, driver of a car or cyclist.
Commercial truck accidents.
Bus, public transportation and ridesharing accidents.

We will ensure that you get all the compensation you deserve for your injury caused by the negligence of another.

Premises Liability

This kind of liability applies when you have sustained an injury while on someone else’s property and the injury was caused by their negligence. Premises liability can apply in the case that you are invited to a house by a homeowner or if you are injured at a retail store or restaurant.

The most common type of injury that involves premises liability is slip-and-fall injuries that occur on another’s property. This injury may have been caused by negligence if there was a slippery floor that went unmarked and you slipped and fell causing injury.

Dog Bites

While all of us love our dogs, it is still possible for dogs to do rather large amounts of both physical and emotional damage if they decide to attack.

While this may seem like a scenario that causes only physical damage, a dog bite can leave victims scarred for life mentally and in a country so filled with dogs, it can be difficult to find areas that are safe for the victim’s mental well-being.

In the case of a dog bite, the owner of the pet is held liable for their pet’s actions and they will be responsible for giving you the compensation you deserve. If you were bitten by a dog and sustained possibly severe personal injuries, we will help to negotiate with insurance companies to ensure that you get the compensation you deserve.

Assault & Inadequate Security

Any time you are on a company’s property they are required to keep you safe by providing security or employees to ensure the safety of customers. A common instance of this is in bars where maybe a customer is over-served or security personnel does not remove a violent or belligerent customer.

This customer could then cause you injury by either being directly violent or causing accidental damage. While companies cannot predict the future, if they could have acted to prevent your injury and didn’t, they are liable.

Our Workers’ Compensation Services

If you are injured while at work and doing your job to the regulation of your employer, the company’s workman’s compensation will cover your medical bills as well as lost wages due to your injuries. However, if you suspect that your injury was caused by the negligence of your employer, you may be able to file a third-party claim and get more compensation than your workman’s compensation.

What Makes Up A Personal Injury Claim?

There are two basic components of a personal injury legal claim – assertion of negligence and a claim for damages associated with your injury.

Negligence

In legal terms, negligence is acting in a manner that shows a lack of care or responsibility and can possibly lead to injury. Negligence can take many forms that end with an injury. For example, in the case of an automobile accident claim, negligence may be represented by an intoxicated or drowsy driver.

In the case of a slip-and-fall accident claim, it is possible that the property owner acted negligently by not taking good care of their property. Most importantly, there needs to be proof that someone else was responsible for your accident whether they were negligent or malicious.

Damages

Once you have proven that another person or company was responsible for your injury, it is then time to assess how much money the responsible party owes you. The money the responsible party owes you is the damages that you are owed because of their negligence caused your injury.

Listed below are the most common types of damages that you may be owed by a responsible party.

The full cost of your medical bills associated with your injury, as well as the amount of money spent on recovery from your injuries, such as physical therapy or trauma counseling.
Money to cover you for possible future medical procedures that the accident may have caused.
If you have been unable to work for long periods of time you may need money to make up for the lost wages, you could have earned if you weren’t injured.
Any pain and suffering that your injury or the accident itself may have caused.

An example of possible pain and suffering from a personal injury is suffering from depression or anxiety caused by your injury or accident. Conditions such as these can seriously and negatively impact your life tremendously. The physical side of pain and suffering may come in the form of lifelong scars that will never go away or chronic back problems.

In very plain terms, pain and suffering are the emotional and physical costs of your injury which can be extremely difficult to put a monetary value on. These personal injury cases can be extremely complex and frustrating, which is why we would be honored to go to battle for you and represent your interests both in the courtroom or the negotiation table.

Frequently Asked Questions About Mount Laurel Personal Injury Cases

Below are some of the most frequently asked questions about personal injury lawsuits and the process associated with them.

How long does a personal injury case last?

Unfortunately, there is no single answer to this question as cases can vary widely in both complexity, and the amount of research and experts needed to effectively argue your case. There are several steps that the case must go through until the case can either go to trial or negotiations at the settlement table.

Cases of this kind can last anywhere from a few months to a couple of years depending on the complexity of the case. Our main priority is helping you to get through this complex legal process with our proficiency and legal team, so you can focus on what’s important – getting better.

Who is going to pay for my medical bills for an automobile accident?

New Jersey is a no-fault state when it comes to automobile accident personal injury cases. Being a no-fault state means that at first, you will have to pay for your own medical bills upfront and recover that money from the responsible party at the end of your negotiation or court trial. However, it is possible for you to get your medical bills covered during the negotiation for a settlement.

Are experts needed to help prove my case?

While it may not be 100% necessary for you to have experts to win your case, we recommend that they are involved to bolster the strength of your case. These experts can provide vital information that helps to strengthen your case and prove a person or company’s negligence.

Is there a time limit to file a personal injury case in New Jersey?

Yes, there is, in the form of the statute of limitations for each kind of personal injury or accident. A statute of limitations makes the timeliness of your case filing extremely vital, which is why we recommend that you get into contact with legal representation as soon as possible. Not only will this ensure that your case is valid, but a timely filing will allow you to get your compensation as soon as possible, allowing you to move on with your life.

Filing A Personal Injury Claim Can Protect Others In The Future

While helping you obtain compensation is our priority in a personal injury case, your lawsuit may save lives in the future by holding the responsible party accountable and setting the stage for change in safety protocol or industry safety regulations.

Your case may force a corporation, business or hospital to be more careful in the future with the well-being of their customers or patients. While it is possible for you to litigate or reach a settlement for a personal injury case on your own, we highly recommend that you employ professional legal representation to save you time and frustration.
