Camden County families should not have to fight a car accident claim alone. We bring big-firm experience and hometown attention to every case we handle in the area.
New Jersey roads — from the Turnpike and Garden State Parkway to the busy streets of Newark, Jersey City, and Edison — see tens of thousands of serious crashes every year. If another driver's carelessness left you injured, you may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
Because New Jersey is a no-fault state, your own Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage pays your initial medical bills regardless of who caused the crash. Whether you can sue the at-fault driver for pain and suffering depends on the lawsuit threshold you chose on your policy. We help you understand your options and fight for everything you're owed.
Heavy traffic on I-295 and Route 70 and the busy streets of Camden County means car accidents here are common — and rarely simple. We know how local crashes happen and how to prove who was at fault.
We handle the paperwork, the adjusters, and the deadlines so you can focus on healing while we build your Camden County case.
What New Jersey law means for your car accidents claim
Two-year deadline
In New Jersey you generally have two years from the date of the crash to file a personal injury lawsuit (N.J.S.A. 2A:14-2).
No-fault & PIP
New Jersey's no-fault system means your PIP coverage pays medical costs first — but the verbal threshold can limit pain-and-suffering claims. We make sure it doesn't quietly cost you.
Comparative negligence
You can still recover even if you were partly at fault, as long as you were 50% or less responsible. Your award is reduced by your share of the blame.
