Meirowitz & Wasserberg, LLP

You can receive compensation for your injuries as long as you are no more than 50% at fault in the accident. This is called the modified comparative fault rule. If you share fault in the accident, compensation you receive will be diminished proportionally to your share of fault.

New Jersey drivers are required to carry uninsured motorist coverage. This coverage protects you in the event insurance is unavailable through the at-fault driver.

We offer a contingency fee arrangement for most car accident claims, which means you pay nothing until we win you compensation.

It’s better not to speak to an insurance company at all. Instead, you should contact your lawyers and let them communicate with the insurance companies on your behalf. Insurance companies are known for asking leading questions, and it’s very easy to accidentally say something that can disqualify you from full coverage after a slip and fall accident. If you do speak with an insurance company yourself, never admit fault and don’t agree to a settlement before having an attorney review the offer.

Yes, you can sue a landlord for a slip and fall injury if you can prove that their negligence contributed to your injury. Landlords bear the responsibility of maintaining a rental property in a safe condition.

It can take several months to receive your compensation. Multiple factors go into this, including whether your case settles independently or goes to court and how strongly the other party contests your compensation. Most cases settle outside of court.

All calls from the opposing party’s insurance company should be directed to your wrongful death attorney. Most importantly, never admit fault to the insurance company or anyone else, and never sign documents without your attorney present.
