Harrison Township, NJ Personal Injury Attorneys

Injury lawsuits are civil actions that fall under the umbrella of tort law. These cases involve plaintiffs who have suffered injuries because of the actions of others and provide a mechanism for them to pursue compensation for their losses. Unlike criminal cases, personal injury lawsuits do not result in the defendant facing lengthy sentences in prison. As a result, the burden of proof that personal injury plaintiffs must meet is much lower than the burden of proof that criminal prosecutors must meet.

Because of the lower burden of proof in an injury claim, a plaintiff might be able to achieve justice and accountability through a civil lawsuit even when the defendant is not criminally charged, is acquitted, or has their criminal charges dismissed. Filing a personal injury lawsuit for your injuries might allow you to hold the defendant responsible for their wrongful actions while being placed in the position you were in before your accident.

Auto accidents are common events in Harrison Township. Because of how often they happen, many people think that a car accident likely is fairly minor and might result in physical damage to a vehicle. However, some car accidents are serious and cause people to suffer severe injuries. When people are seriously injured in a crash caused by the negligent driving behavior of another driver, the victims are entitled to compensation for their losses. Filing an auto accident lawsuit might allow you to be made whole and recover full compensation for your economic and non-economic losses.

All property owners are legally responsible for the condition of their premises. They must regularly inspect their property and promptly fix hazardous conditions that they discover or should reasonably have discovered to prevent legal visitors from being injured. When a property owner fails to meet their legal duty, they can be liable to pay damages to lawfully present victims who are injured as a result. Our premises liability attorneys can review your case, help to gather evidence, and fight for your rights to recover full compensation.

Few people expect to be seriously harmed when they undergo medical treatment for their illnesses or injuries. While most medical providers strive to provide high-quality care, some healthcare professionals make mistakes or cut corners that cause their patients to suffer serious injuries. Medical malpractice claims arise when a doctor’s treatment deviates from the medical standard of care for reasonable practitioners in the same field of practice and cause their patients to sustain injuries. These cases are complex and require the help of medical experts. Our lawyers work closely with medical experts to build the strongest possible liability claims for our clients.

Child sexual abuse is an especially heinous crime and is severely punished in every state. However, many sexual predators continue to prey on children every year despite the laws.
