Why You Need a New Jersey Personal Injury Lawyer

Sometimes accident victims are reluctant to hire an attorney, especially if they believe their case is clear or have never worked with a lawyer. But not hiring a personal injury lawyer to represent you after an accident is a serious mistake that could cost you a lot of money. Here are the key reasons to hire a personal injury attorney:

Maximize your compensation

You likely have medical bills piling up after an accident and may also have to miss several weeks or months of work. Those financial losses add up quickly, and you must also consider the pain and suffering you have endured. A personal injury attorney can help you recover as much money as possible after an accident so you can take care of yourself.

Make life easier for yourself

Even a seemingly straightforward personal injury case can quickly become complicated once the insurance companies get involved. A lawyer can help you navigate the insurance bureaucracy while protecting you from any mistakes that might jeopardize your case.

Get the help you need

Putting your life back together after a serious accident can be a major challenge. In addition to treating your injuries, you may also need help applying for government or other benefits to help you move forward from this painful chapter in your life.

Representing you in court

Most personal injury cases end in an insurance settlement before a trial is necessary. However, sometimes an insurance company will refuse to negotiate in good faith. If that happens, you will need to take your case to court. Civil trials are difficult, risky, and unpredictable, so you must be sure you have an experienced trial attorney.

Potential Compensation in Passaic County Personal Injury Cases

You need to account for all the different ways an accident has affected you when negotiating an insurance settlement. A Passaic County personal injury lawyer can help you pursue compensation for:

• Lost wages
• Reduced future earnings and lost benefits
• Medical expenses, including the cost of future care
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress
• Damaged personal property

Statute of Limitations in New Jersey Personal Injury Cases

The statutory deadline to file a personal injury lawsuit in New Jersey is two years from the accident date. You mustn’t miss this deadline, as your case will be automatically dismissed if you do not file your lawsuit in time. A personal injury lawyer can help you make sure you meet all the key deadlines in your case.
