New Jersey Personal Injury Attorneys

New Jersey personal injury cases encompass a broad variety of different incidents. These types of cases all share a commonality of negligent or wrongful conduct on the part of one party that causes injury and harm to another. When someone sustains serious injuries or is killed because of the negligent, reckless, or intentional actions of someone else, the victim or the family members of a person who is killed as a result can pursue compensation through a personal injury claim. Personal injury cases proceed in civil court and can be filed simultaneously with any criminal court action that might also be filed against a defendant. Since the burden of proof is lower in personal injury cases than in criminal prosecutions, it is sometimes possible to hold a defendant accountable through a personal injury claim even when he or she has been found not guilty in a criminal case. The attorneys at Raynes & Lawn are prepared to fight for your rights when you have been injured because of the actions of others.

In New Jersey, automobile accidents are fairly common. While most car accidents only result in property damage, some cause serious injuries or fatalities. Car accident victims might be left with catastrophic injuries and permanent disabilities, and the families of people who die in car accidents might face mounting expenses, income losses, and be left trying to put the pieces together after the deaths of their loved ones. Filing a car accident lawsuit against all of the responsible parties provides a way for car accident victims to recover compensation for the losses they have suffered.

Under premises liability law in New Jersey, property owners, lessees, and businesses are responsible for protecting the safety of people who are lawfully present on their premises. Property owners and businesses have a duty to warn lawful visitors about dangerous conditions that exist on their property.

When businesses or property owners fail to meet these obligations, they can be liable to pay compensation to people who are injured by the dangerous conditions. The injury lawyers in New Jersey at Raynes & Lawn can review your prospective case and explain the remedies that might be available to you.

When people in New Jersey go to the hospital or a doctor’s office, they do so in the hopes of getting better.

The attorneys at Raynes & Lawn are prepared to carefully evaluate potential medical malpractice claims with a team of medical professionals. If your claim has legal merits, we will help you to try to hold the responsible parties accountable and recover the compensation you deserve.
