What Should You Do After an Accident or Injury?
The moments after an injury are chaotic, but your actions can significantly impact your ability to recover compensation later. If you’ve been hurt, here’s what to do:
- Get medical help immediately. Your health comes first, and a medical record is key evidence in any legal claim.
- Report the accident. Ensure an official report is filed with law enforcement and, if applicable, a supervisor or the property owner.
- Document everything. Take photos of your injuries, the accident scene, damaged property, and any hazardous conditions.
- Get contact info for witnesses. Their statements can help confirm your version of events.
- Don’t speak to the insurance company. They may twist your words or pressure you into a low settlement.
- Call a personal injury lawyer. The sooner you speak with a North Bergen personal injury lawyer, the sooner you’ll have someone to help protect your interests.
These steps safeguard your health and assist in preserving key evidence that could make or break your case.
How Can an Attorney Help Me?
If you’ve been injured because of someone else’s carelessness, you’re already dealing with enough. You shouldn’t have to decode insurance forms, chase down paperwork, or argue with adjusters who aren’t looking out for you. A North Bergen injury lawyer steps in to help level the playing field and give your case the attention it deserves. Here’s what we do to help you take control of what comes next.
We Build Your Case
We start by investigating what really happened. Was the other driver distracted? Did a property owner ignore a dangerous condition? Was safety protocol skipped on a job site? We dig into the details by gathering records, reviewing photos and videos, and consulting experts to get the whole picture.
We Translate Injuries into a Legal Narrative
Your injury is more than just a medical report. It’s how your life has been altered. We work with doctors, therapists, and financial professionals to show how the injury has affected your health, job, family, and future. Whether it’s a broken wrist or a permanent spinal injury, we work to make sure that your pain is understood and properly valued.
We Communicate with the Insurer
After an accident, you may be contacted by insurance adjusters asking for statements or details about the incident. While they may seem helpful, it’s important to remember that their goal is to minimize what the company pays out.
As your legal representatives, we take over all communication with the insurance company on your behalf. We can present your claim clearly, accurately, and in a way that helps protect your interests.
We Look Beyond the Quick Settlement
It’s tempting to take the first offer of compensation and move on, but we’ve seen how that often leaves injury victims stuck with out-of-pocket expenses months later. At Glugeth & Pierguidi, we think long-term. That means working to calculate the full cost of your injuries, including future medical care, lost earning potential, and emotional toll, and fighting not to settle for less than you’ll truly need.
Frequently Asked Questions
The following are common questions regarding personal injury cases.
How Much Does It Cost to Hire a North Bergen Personal Injury Attorney?
The attorneys at Glugeth & Pierguidi work on a contingency fee basis. That means you don’t pay us anything unless we win your case. There are no hourly fees or upfront retainers. You get legal help when you need it without financial stress.
How Long Do I Have to File a Personal Injury Claim?
In New Jersey, the statute of limitations is two years from the date of your injury. If you miss this deadline, your claim may be permanently barred from financial recovery. Don’t wait, speak with an experienced lawyer right away.
Should I Talk to the Insurance Company?
No. The insurance company’s goal is to pay you as little as possible. Anything you say can be used against you later. Always let your attorney handle communications with insurers.
What If I’m Partly at Fault for the Accident?
New Jersey follows a modified comparative negligence rule. This means that you can still recover compensation if you’re 50% or less at fault, but your percentage of fault will reduce your award. You will be barred from recovery if you’re more than 50% at fault.
