Aggressive Personal Injury Representation in New Jersey
When you are dealing with the aftermath of a serious personal injury, you are faced with serious questions about your future:
- How will I pay my hospital bills?
- Can I afford necessary medications?
- What if I need lifelong rehabilitation?
- Will I have to move into a long-term care facility?
- Orthotics and other medical equipment are so expensive - how can I pay for them?
- How will I pay my bills while I recover? I cannot return to work in this much pain.
If you or a loved one have been injured as a result of a car accident, slip and fall, someone else's negligence, a defective product, the malpractice of a medical provider, nursing home abuse, a tainted drug or premises liability, you may be entitled to recover damages and compensation.
Facing Costs Associated with Personal Injuries
The impact of a serious personal injury includes medical costs, lost wages, and a loss in your quality of life. At the law firm of Tomes & Hanratty, P.C., our attorneys work closely with medical economists and life care planners to quantify the full financial impact of a personal injury on our client. We take into consideration costs associated with emergency room care, surgery, physical therapy, medical equipment, in-house nursing care, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
We also consult accident investigators, safety experts, engineers, toxicologists, and other specialists when investigating the cause of an accident. This is important since New Jersey is a modified comparative negligence state: if the court determines you are 51% or more at fault, you are barred from recovering damages. If you are less than 51% at fault, your recoverable damages will be reduced by the percentage of your fault. Insurance companies know this and are only too eager to argue you bear most or all responsibility for causing an accident.
Do not let an insurance company stack the deck against you with testimony from experts who work for them - contact personal injury lawyers at Tomes & Hanratty, P.C. today to schedule a free consultation to discuss your case.
