Common types of personal injury cases:

A personal injury case can arise almost anywhere and at any time.

Generally speaking, if someone acts negligently and you get injured as a result, then you will be able to seek compensation for your injuries. In order for your claim to be successful, as the plaintiff, you must be able to prove that your injuries are the result of the defendant’s negligence.  This is where our team of South Jersey personal injury lawyers come in to ensure your claim is successful.

If you’ve been injured due to someone else’s negligence, then you should contact a personal injury lawyer immediately. The sooner you make contact, the quicker a claim can be made, and you can be compensated. In order for a personal injury claim to be successful, you need to prove four things:

  1. Duty of care
  2. A breach of this duty
  3. The breach of duty was responsible for the injury
  4. Damages occurred as a result of the injury (financial and non-financial)

Using our vast experience in personal injury law, we can help file your claim and fight for a just outcome.

No two personal injury cases are the same, and there are many different types of personal injury as well. Most injury victims only seek compensation for their physical injuries. You can however seek compensation for both economic and non-economic damages:

Economic damages include:

  • Medical bills and other expenses, including hospital bills
  • Loss of past and future income due to your inability to work
  • Cost of all related rehabilitation activities and therapies

Non-economic damages include:

  • Ongoing pain and suffering, as a result of your injury
  • Emotional injuries if you have been left with a permanent disability or disfigurement

Though different areas of personal injury have different statutes in New Jersey, you should generally file your claim within two years from the date of injury. There are exceptions to each rule, especially when dealing with medical malpractice. Therefore, it’s a good idea to contact a South Jersey personal injury lawyer to examine your case.
