Woodbury, NJ Personal Injury Attorneys

Personal injury lawsuits are civil law matters and can be filed when people are injured by another individual or entity through negligence, recklessness, or intentional acts. Victims are allowed to file lawsuits against those who are responsible even if the prosecutor files criminal charges for the same incident against the defendant.

Since personal injury plaintiffs have to meet a lower burden to win their claims, victims might be able to hold defendants accountable in a civil lawsuit even when the defendants are found not guilty in a criminal case involving the same incident. To prove a civil personal injury lawsuit, the plaintiff must prove the events more likely than not happened as they claim. By contrast, criminal prosecutors must prove the defendant’s guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, which is much more difficult.

Most doctors and other medical providers strive to provide quality care to every patient they see. However, some providers fail to meet the relevant standard of care and deliver substandard treatment that injures patients. If you were seriously injured because of a doctor’s medical errors or lost your loved one because of medical negligence, you might have the right to file a medical malpractice lawsuit against the responsible healthcare professional. Medical malpractice lawsuits might help victims recover full compensation for their losses while also holding the providers accountable and preventing others from suffering similar injuries in the future.

The sexual abuse of children is a terrible crime, but it persists despite the threat of criminal prosecution and incarceration. Many sexual predators prey on children by working at respected institutions, including churches, synagogues, schools, daycares, and others that provide services to children. A sexual predator might be a respected professional that few people might suspect, including a teacher, preacher, pastor, coach, doctor, bus driver, camp counselor, and other similar professions. Unfortunately, some institutions try to cover up abuse rather than bring the perpetrators to justice.

Our civil sexual abuse lawyers are dedicated to exposing sexual predators and the institutions that cover for them through careful investigation and litigation. We work with experienced mental health professionals who understand how to talk to child victims without causing further emotional harm. Our goal is to stop the cycle of abuse and prevent other children from suffering harm in the future while recovering maximal compensation for our clients.
