If you have been injured as a result of another person's actions or negligence, you should contact a personal injury lawyer right away. An experienced Jersey City personal injury attorney can listen to the details of your accident and advise you on the steps you should take right away to protect your rights in the future. You might also want to consult with a qualified physician who can determine what kind of injury you've suffered and document it for your case. Other types of experts may be able to assist, and our New Jersey personal injury lawyer at the Law Offices of Anthony Carbone, P.C. may seek assistance from other sources. Finally, write down everything you remember about the circumstances surrounding your personal injury and keep it handy so you can refer to it later. Your case is unlikely to be heard or heard in court for several weeks or months, at which point your memory of the incident may not be as clear as it is now.

Depends, really. If you were 50% or less at fault, you may be able to collect some damages; but, if you were 51% at fault, you will not be eligible for any compensation. True comparative fault is the foundation of New Jersey's personal injury laws. In other words, you would receive 80% of your damages if the jury finds that the property owner was 80% at fault and you were 20% at fault.

If you are involved in an Uber accident involving a pedestrian, the first thing you should do is phone 911 if you are physically able to do so and get immediate medical attention if you require it. Next, if at all feasible, be sure to get the names, addresses, and contact information for all parties involved as well as any witnesses. You must immediately get in touch with a New Jersey personal injury lawyer who has experience managing Uber pedestrian accident lawsuits due to the complexities of these cases.

Numerous variables will affect how long it takes for your claim to be processed. Your medical care for your injuries will determine how long you receive treatment. It's possible that an attorney won't be able to resolve a case until after your doctor releases you. This enables your attorney to collect all of your medical documents, which they can then show to the insurance provider in order for them to completely assess your claim and go over all of your treatment for injuries. A lawyer has two years to try and resolve your NJ auto accident claim. A lawsuit must be filed within the two-year statute of limitations window in order to pursue your claim in court if it cannot be resolved by then. Your case won't necessarily proceed to trial just because a lawsuit was filed. A knowledgeable NJ personal injury attorney will know how to present your claim in an effort to reach a settlement before filing a lawsuit.

The following damages are most frequently granted: medical costs, future medical costs, lost wages, temporary or permanent incapacity, lost wages in the future as a result of being unable to work; and sorrow and pain.

Make sure to remain at the scene of the accident until the police arrive to conduct an investigation if your injuries aren't too serious. Being available as a witness at the scene will make it easier later on in the inquiry to establish who was at responsibility for any injuries you sustain. If an Uber or Lyft driver is at fault, both your injuries and the damage to your vehicle must be covered by their insurance. Their insurance will pay up to $50,000 for bodily injury if they hit you without picking up a passenger, according to their policy. The insurance must provide up to $1,500,000 in bodily harm coverage if they were picking up a passenger or already had one in the car.

Having a practice, an urban practice like I do, these cases are seen by my office regularly. We have people who are tenants in apartments who are constantly getting injured whether the ceiling broke or something happened with the floor, or the landlord didn’t clear the path for ice and snow or didn’t shovel the stairs. So these cases happen all the time. The problem with some of the cases becomes if the landlord doesn’t have insurance then there is no coverage. So, can you still sue the landlord? Yes. Is it going to be difficult to actually get a recovery of money from the landlord if he doesn’t have insurance? Yes. So do you still have a claim? Yes, you have a claim. Is it going to be more difficult actually getting the money to compensate you for the pain and suffering from the landlord if he doesn’t have insurance? Absolutely. That’s going to be the difficult part.

My office is in Jersey City. I’m right across the street from the courthouse. Right across the street from me on the other corner here is going to be the new courthouse they’ve been doing construction on this new courthouse now for about 6 months and they’ll probably continue for another 2 and a half years. So what happens with the construction accident injury? So last week as they were doing some welding, somehow, a spark from the weld caught some of the propane gas then that caused the fire and next thing we know, flames were shooting out of this new courthouse and the Fire Department was dispatched. So if you were injured as a result of that fire, that’s a construction accident. So the accident doesn’t have to be anything that you did. It could be something that somebody else did. But as long as it happened on the job and you were on the job working, you have compensation and you’re entitled to compensation for any injury that you sustained from that.

Yes. As you can see from the list above, there are a lot of crimes that fall under the category of domestic violence even though they might not include any direct physical contact with your partner. Here are some instances of how you could be accused of domestic violence without any actual physical contact: You might be wrongly accused by the purported victim. If you and someone else got into a heated argument and whatever you said was taken as a threat, If you repeatedly tried to contact your partner and it was interpreted as stalking or harassment It could be considered domestic violence burglary if you broke into your partner's house without permission and took something over which you disagreed about who was the rightful owner. If your partner alleged that you sent her filthy texts or intimate images It might be considered criminal trespass if you went to your partner's residence after she asked you not to.

It's critical to keep in mind that the insurance company has a vested interest in rejecting your claim. If your personal injury attorney does not recommend it, do not give a written or recorded statement.

Yes, as long as the responsible party is more than 50% at fault. According to New Jersey's "comparative negligence standard," the injured party may be entitled to compensation for physical harm if they were at fault less than the person or entity who caused it.

The answer to this question is based on how much money you have lost. In most situations, a settlement should pay for your medical bills as well as other pertinent losses including missed wages, property damage, and pain and suffering. Your insurance policy's limits, the at-fault party's insurance, and the court's decision on whether to add punitive damages in your settlement are all factors.

The potential legal claims an aggrieved party may make can vary depending on the potential liable parties. It depends on the circumstances and the kind of harm received. You (or the injured party) may have claims for product responsibility and personal harm. However, you may also be able to hold your doctor or pharmacist accountable for professional or medical negligence if you suffered injury from a medical drug or device. You might also be able to file a lawsuit for negligence, breach of warranty, failure to warn, or fraud, depending on the specifics of your situation. Last but not least, wrongful death may occasionally be a viable legal claim. The decedent's loved ones are required to provide the court proof that the victim's death was caused by using the faulty product if the injured person passes away as a result of their injuries.

Police need probable cause before they may make an arrest. The situation's facts and circumstances will determine whether there is probable cause. Courts take into account whether a reasonably responsible and knowledgeable person would think that a defendant has committed a crime. If this is the case, the police have the power to make an arrest of you anywhere they have a warrant to be.

Many medical procedures are fraught with danger. Prior to agreeing to the procedure, you should have been advised of the risk. In New Jersey, simply being injured is not enough to sustain a medical malpractice lawsuit. Instead, you must show that the doctor went above and beyond the established level of care, causing you harm.

If you're in an automobile accident with someone driving a Turo rental, follow the same procedures as you would for any other crash. Obtain the driver's name, address, and insurance information. If necessary, call the cops and an ambulance. Even if you don't think you've been seriously harmed, seek medical help. Many factors influence whether or not you experience discomfort right away. Obtain a copy of the police report, as well as any medical documents. Consult a personal injury attorney to learn more about your legal rights to compensation and how to pursue them.

Yes. Anyone who is at fault in an accident is responsible for any injuries that result, so if the Uber or Lyft driver is at fault, the passenger has the right to sue them. The passenger would be able to sue the driver who was at fault if the Uber or Lyft driver was not at fault. According to New Jersey law, ridesharing companies must provide $1,500,000 in uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage, which would cover any injuries that the at-fault driver could not afford to pay for.

In circumstances of irresponsible security, questions like this frequently emerge. Yes, if the owner was aware that similar assaults had occurred previously and did nothing to address safety concerns in the parking lot.

In New Jersey, you can have a disorderly conduct charge erased from your criminal record if you meet certain conditions and take the proper steps. In general, you must wait five years after the case is concluded to be eligible for expungement of a disorderly conduct conviction, or any other conviction for a petty disorderly persons violation for that matter. You must also have no more than three previous convictions for disorderly individuals or small disorderly persons offenses. You can apply for an expungement right away if the charge is dismissed. If you're convicted of a municipal ordinance violation in a disorderly conduct case, you'll have to wait two years to get your record expunged. If you have previously been convicted of an indictable offense, expunging a disorderly conduct charge may be more difficult. Depending on the precise felony charge that resulted to the conviction, different waiting periods and exclusions apply.

This happens quite often. Police write an initial report based on a brief investigation of an accident in Newark, Hoboken, Jersey City, or another community. There may be inaccuracies or incorrect assumptions in the report. If you find an error in a police report or disagree with the officer's conclusions, you should file an amendment with the investigating police department as soon as possible. An experienced car accident attorney can help you draft an amendment. Police in New Jersey may be hesitant to change an accident report once it has been finalized. You might need to speak with the police captain in order to file a statement that will be included in the report.

That depends on your choice of attorney, the location of your case, the details of your case, and whether you have previous DUI convictions. A first offense carries a sentence of up to 30 days in prison. A first offender, on the other hand, is rarely, if ever, imprisoned after conviction. A second conviction carries a mandatory sentence of 2 to 90 days in prison. It's vital to remember that the aforementioned sanctions only apply if the person is convicted of DUI. That is why it is vital that you contact an expert DUI lawyer to represent you.

If you've been cited or charged with disorderly conduct, one of your first questions will likely be whether you've been charged with a misdemeanor or other type of criminal offense. To begin, it's important to note that New Jersey, unlike most states, does not use the technical terms "misdemeanor" or "felony." Indictable offenses are felony-level offenses involving state prison time, while disorderly persons offenses and petty disorderly persons offenses are misdemeanor-level offenses. Petty disorderly persons offenses are the most common type of disorderly conduct. This means that while disorderly conduct is not as serious as a felony charge, it is still illegal. To put it another way, any subsequent conviction will show up on a criminal background check conducted by an employer, professional licensing board, or law enforcement agency. You should take disorderly conduct seriously because it can result in up to 30 days in county jail and a $500 fine if you are convicted.

Commercial vehicles include 18-wheelers, tractor trailers, garbage trucks, dump trucks, flatbeds, and cement mixers, among other vehicles. Larger versions of "consumer" or "personal" trucks, such as the Ford F-series or the Chevrolet Silverado, may also be classified as commercial vehicles.

While the ridesharing app has a hotline where you can report your accident details, we don't recommend speaking with their insurance company. They're talented at minimizing your claim or duping you into giving a recorded statement that limits or eliminates your ability to file a claim.

Yes, you can file a lawsuit against the complex. You will have to prove both your case and your damages. You will not have a case if you slipped but did not get hurt. A claim cannot be made solely on the basis of slipping. You must have suffered an injury, which must be documented with medical records. Consult with an experienced personal injury attorney as soon as possible.

Every truck accident is different, but in the majority of cases, one or more of the following parties are to blame. A driver of a truck An individual who owns or operates a truck or a fleet of trucks. A transportation or trucking company A company that provides vehicle services or maintenance. a manufacturer of trucks Road maintenance and upkeep is the responsibility of government or municipal offices. An accident caused by negligence, such as drunk or reckless driving, may be the fault of a truck driver.

If, for example, damaged roads or malfunctioning traffic control devices were a contributing factor in your accident, municipal offices could be held liable.

In the vast majority of dog bite cases, the dog's owner is held liable for the injuries caused. There are, however, circumstances in which landlords, others caring for the dog, and still other parties may be held liable. In these situations, insurance companies may also play a role. Is insurance available for dog bites? Yes, many dog bite cases have insurance coverage because the dog owner has it. However, the type and specifics of that coverage must be investigated, and any settlement amount with that insurance company must be negotiated. An attorney is the best person to handle this.

There is no set period of time in which you must file a car accident claim, but you should do so before the state's statute of limitations expires.

The Transportation Network Company Safety and Regulatory Act, enacted in New Jersey, requires ridesharing apps like Uber and Lyft to take certain safety precautions. Companies must conduct background checks on their employees, and drivers must have their vehicles inspected for safety. Only the driver's own personal insurance is available to compensate victims if the driver isn't logged into the app and waiting for rides at the time of the accident. The insurance must cover $50,000 in injury per person if the driver is logged in and waiting for rides. If a driver agrees to provide a ride and injures someone on the way to or after picking up the passenger, the insurance must cover $1,500,000 in personal injury. As a result, whether the driver was providing a ride at the time of the accident is critical.

Many people believe that medical malpractice is the only type of injury that can occur in a hospital setting. However, people are admitted to hospitals on a regular basis. If the fall was caused by a medical error (for example, overmedication, dropping a patient, failing to monitor a patient with certain conditions, etc. ), it could be considered medical negligence. Visitors, on the other hand, frequently trip over wet floors that are left unattended. Patients may be walking to the soda machine when they trip over a medical device or another hazard that has been overlooked. These types of injuries have nothing to do with poor medical care and everything to do with failing to monitor a potentially dangerous situation.

Medical bills from doctors, hospitals, physical therapists, and other health care providers are likely if you have been injured. Those bills will be sent to your address and will be in your name. Regardless of the cause of your injuries, you are primarily responsible for paying your bills. The at-fault party's liability insurance carrier will be responsible for paying you fair compensation for your losses, including medical bills.

You'll need convincing evidence that there was a dangerous condition that the property owner should have prevented or fixed to prove negligence. Photographs of the accident scene, exactly as it was when you fell, are usually one of the best pieces of evidence. If you fell as a result of a damaged walkway, a foreign substance on the floor, or an obstruction, take photos of the hazards as well as the surrounding area. This will assist you in demonstrating other critical factors to prove negligence, such as the absence of warning signs or a poorly lit area. Aside from photographs, expert measurements of the area, maintenance logs, and construction records are all important pieces of evidence, particularly if your fall was caused by a design flaw. A construction expert, for example, can advise on whether the stair measurements met relevant building codes if you fell on a stairwell because the stairs were different heights.
