- Wrongful DeathAfter an accident, an injured passenger may be concerned about the financial burdens they are suddenly facing. In New Jersey, personal injury protection can provide coverage for medical bills and lost wages. The injured party may want to seek additional damages for other burdens that are both financial and non-financial in nature. These can include the loss of enjoyment of life, lost future wages, and pain and suffering. If the accident resulted in death, the victim’s family may want to file for wrongful death benefits.
- Traffic ViolationsIt can be difficult to determine who is liable for a car accident. This is especially true if there was more than one driver involved or if the accident happened on mass transit. Some of the examples of driver negligence that may be considered include driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol, drowsy driving, reckless driving, general carelessness, and the use of a mobile device without hands-free technology. Additionally, bad weather and poor road conditions may have been contributing factors to the accident.

- Premises LiabilityParking lot accidents: Parking lot accidents can occur for a wide variety of reasons. In most cases, they occur due to poor parking lot conditions, including inadequate security, uneven pavement, insufficient lighting, negligent signage, and more. Of course, many pedestrians are also stricken by careless motorists in parking lots as well, often while they back out of parking spots without checking to ensure no one is passing by. Regardless of the cause of your accident, if you were injured due to no fault of your own, there is a very good chance that you will qualify for financial compensation in a premises liability claim.

- Medical MalpracticeMedical malpractice is a type of case involving negligence that occurs when a health care provider fails to meet the medical standard of care. In the medical profession, the medical standard of care is based on the training and expertise of similar professionals and the choices they would make in the same situations. A case’s merit often comes down to the fact that the defendant acted in a way that most competent professionals wouldn’t have avoided.
