Types of Personal Injury Cases We Handle in Cherry Hill
Car Accidents
Car accidents are the most common cause of personal injury claims in Cherry Hill. Whether you were hit by a distracted driver or a reckless motorist, you may be entitled to compensation. New Jersey auto insurance laws often include a ‘Limitation on Lawsuit’ threshold, but our attorneys know how to prove your injuries are serious enough to qualify for a recovery, ensuring you aren’t barred from seeking justice. Our car accident attorneys investigate how the accident happened, gather evidence, and prove the other driver’s negligence. While your own No-Fault (PIP) insurance typically covers initial medical bills regardless of fault, we fight to recover compensation for your pain and suffering, lost wages, and any medical costs that exceed your policy limits. We also handle truck accident claims and motorcycle accident cases.
Slip and Fall Injuries
Property owners have a responsibility to keep their premises safe. When they fail to fix hazards or warn visitors about dangers, people get hurt. Slip and fall accidents happen in grocery stores, restaurants, shopping centers, and other public spaces throughout Cherry Hill. We investigate these cases to prove the property owner knew about the dangerous condition or should have known about it, and that they failed to fix it or warn you. Our slip and fall lawyers then pursue compensation for your injuries. Under New Jersey premises liability law, property owners must maintain safe conditions for visitors.
Additional Injury Types
Beyond car accidents and slip and falls, we handle motorcycle accidents, pedestrian accidents, workplace injuries, wrongful death claims, and dog bite injuries. No matter how you were injured, if someone else’s negligence caused it, we can help you pursue compensation. Visit our personal injury practice area to learn more about all the types of cases we handle.

Understanding New Jersey Personal Injury Law
Statute of Limitations in Cherry Hill
New Jersey law gives you two years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. This deadline is important. If you wait too long, you lose your right to sue, even if you have a strong case. This is why it’s important to contact a lawyer as soon as possible after an accident. Some situations have much stricter deadlines. For example, if your claim is against a government entity (like a NJ Transit bus or the Township of Cherry Hill), you generally must file a Notice of Claim within 90 days. Missing this short window can destroy your case, even if the two-year statute of limitations hasn’t passed. Under N.J. Stat. § 2A:14-2, the standard statute of limitations for personal injury claims is two years. Don’t let this deadline pass—contact us today for a free consultation.
Comparative Negligence Rules
New Jersey follows a “modified comparative negligence” rule. This means that even if you were partially at fault for the accident, you can still recover compensation. However, your recovery is reduced by the percentage of fault assigned to you. For example, if you were 20% at fault and your damages total $100,000, you would recover $80,000. If you were more than 50% at fault, you cannot recover anything. This is why having an experienced attorney matters. Insurance companies will try to blame you for the accident to reduce what they owe. We investigate thoroughly to prove the other party was primarily responsible. The comparative negligence standard is codified in N.J.S.A. 2A:15-5.1. Our trial attorneys have extensive experience fighting these battles.
What Damages Can You Recover?
If you win your personal injury case, you can recover two types of damages: economic and non-economic.
Economic damages cover your actual financial losses. This includes all your medical bills from the accident, as well as future medical expenses you’ll need for ongoing treatment or rehabilitation. It includes wages you lost while recovering and your reduced ability to earn income in the future if your injuries are permanent. If property was damaged in the accident, you can recover the cost of repair or replacement. Our results page shows examples of the compensation we’ve recovered for clients.
Non-economic damages cover your pain and suffering. This includes physical pain from your injuries, emotional distress from the trauma of the accident, disfigurement or permanent scarring, and the loss of enjoyment of activities you loved before the accident. These damages are harder to calculate than medical bills, but they’re just as real and just as important. We work with medical experts to document the full extent of your suffering.
In wrongful death cases, surviving family members can recover funeral and burial expenses, medical bills from the final illness or injury, the income the deceased would have earned, lost inheritance, the value of services the deceased provided to the family, emotional distress, loss of companionship, and loss of consortium. Learn more about wrongful death claims to understand your rights if you’ve lost a loved one. Our attorneys have recovered millions in wrongful death settlements.
Frequently Asked Questions About Cherry Hill Personal Injury Claims
How much does it cost to hire Brach Eichler Injury Lawyers?
You don’t pay anything up front. We work on a contingency basis, which means we only get paid if we win your case or reach a settlement. Your initial consultation is completely free, and there’s no obligation to hire us. This arrangement protects you because we only make money when you make money. Contact us to schedule your free consultation today.
How long does a personal injury case take?
The timeline depends on your specific case. Some cases settle quickly, sometimes within a few months. Others take longer if the insurance company won’t offer fair compensation, thus we may need to file a lawsuit. A lawsuit can take anywhere from several months to a few years, depending on the court’s schedule and the complexity of your case. We’ll give you a realistic estimate based on the details of your situation. Read our blog post on personal injury lawsuit timelines for more information.
Will my case go to trial?
Most personal injury cases settle before trial. We negotiate aggressively with insurance companies to reach a fair settlement. However, if they won’t offer reasonable compensation, we’re prepared to take your case to trial. Our trial attorneys have decades of experience in the courtroom and aren’t afraid to fight for you in front of a judge and jury. See our case results to learn about our trial victories.
What should I do immediately after an injury?
First, get medical attention if you’re hurt. Your health is the priority. Then, if possible, document the scene with photos or video. Get the names and contact information of any witnesses. Report the accident to the property owner or the police, depending on the situation. Don’t discuss the accident with the other party’s insurance company without talking to a lawyer first. Call Brach Eichler Injury Lawyers for a free consultation as soon as you can. Learn more about what documents you need for your personal injury case.
How is compensation calculated?
We calculate compensation by adding up all your economic damages (medical bills, lost wages, etc.) and then adding an amount for pain and suffering. The amount for pain and suffering depends on factors like the severity of your injuries, how long your recovery will take, whether your injuries are permanent, and how the accident has affected your quality of life. Insurance companies often try to lowball these calculations, which is why having an attorney matters. Our experienced team knows how to value your claim properly.
Can I still file a claim if I was partially at fault?
Yes. New Jersey’s comparative negligence rule allows you to recover even if you were partially at fault, as long as you weren’t more than 50% responsible for the accident. We investigate to determine fault and fight to minimize any blame assigned to you. Our attorneys have successfully defended clients in comparative negligence situations.
What if the at-fault party doesn’t have insurance?
If the person who caused your accident doesn’t have insurance, you may be able to recover through your own uninsured motorist coverage if you have it. You might also pursue a claim directly against the at-fault party, though collecting money from someone without insurance can be difficult. We explore all available options to help you recover. Contact our team to discuss your specific situation.
