Do I Have a Personal Injury Case?
If you were hurt because of another person’s, company’s, or entity’s careless action or inaction, you may have a personal injury case. Common examples include:
- A distracted driver breaking traffic laws and causing a crash,
- A property owner failing to fix a dangerous hazard,
- A doctor misdiagnosing a condition or making a surgical error, or
- A business ignoring unsafe environmental conditions that lead to injury.
The key factor is negligence. If someone owed you a duty of care and breached it, resulting in harm, you may be entitled to compensation under New Jersey law.
The best way to know if you have a valid case is to speak with a qualified Montclair personal injury attorney. At Glugeth & Pierguidi, we offer free consultations, and you pay nothing unless we win.
Types of New Jersey Personal Injury Cases We Handle
Our firm handles a wide range of injury cases, from everyday accidents to life-altering injuries. Some of the most common matters we help clients with in Montclair include:
- Car accidents. Whether you were rear-ended on Bloomfield Avenue or struck in a multi-vehicle crash on the Garden State Parkway, we fight for full compensation after auto accidents. This includes crashes involving Uber, Lyft, and uninsured motorists.
- Medical malpractice. When healthcare providers make preventable mistakes, such as misdiagnosis, surgical errors, or failure to monitor, we help patients and families pursue justice through complex medical malpractice claims.
- Slip and fall accidents. You may have a premises liability claim if you slipped on a wet floor in a store or tripped over a broken sidewalk. Property owners must keep their premises safe for visitors, and we fight to hold them accountable when they fail to do so.
- Construction injuries. Montclair’s continued growth has led to an increase in construction sites and serious job site injuries. We represent workers and bystanders injured due to negligence on construction sites.
- Wrongful death. Although no amount of money can replace a loved one lost due to someone else’s carelessness, a wrongful death claim can help provide financial support and accountability. We’re here to guide families through these tragic cases with compassion and care.
We also represent clients in cases involving product liability, pedestrian and bike accidents, nursing home neglect, traumatic brain injuries, and more. Whatever the situation, a Montclair injury lawyer from our team will evaluate your case thoroughly and explain your options.
What Damages Can I Recover?
Personal injury compensation aims to restore you, as much as possible, to the position you were in before the injury. Depending on the details of your case, you may be able to recover:
- Medical expenses—including hospital bills, surgery, physical therapy, and future medical care;
- Lost wages—if your injury kept you from working, plus reduced earning capacity;
- Pain and suffering—for the physical and emotional impact of your injuries;
- Property damage—for repair or replacement of a vehicle or other personal belongings;
- Out-of-pocket costs—for injury-related expenses like transportation or home care; and
- Punitive damages—in rare cases involving extreme misconduct.
In a wrongful death case, families may also recover funeral expenses, loss of income, and loss of companionship.
How a Montclair Personal Injury Lawyer Can Help
Insurance companies are not on your side. Their goal is to minimize payouts and protect their bottom line. That’s why having an experienced Montclair personal injury attorney in your corner is critical.
When you hire our firm, we take the pressure off you and take over the fight for justice. We work to:
- Investigate your case and gather evidence,
- Consult with medical experts and accident reconstruction specialists,
- Communicate with insurers and negotiate aggressively on your behalf, and
- File a lawsuit and represent you at trial if a fair settlement isn’t offered.
We’re strategic, relentless, and focused on results, and we’ll never pressure you to settle for less than your case is worth.
How Long Do I Have to File a Claim in New Jersey?
In most New Jersey personal injury cases, you have two years from the date of injury to file a lawsuit. This deadline is known as the statute of limitations. However, some cases (like those involving public entities) have much shorter notice requirements. Missing a legal deadline could mean losing your right to recover compensation, so don’t wait. The sooner you contact an injury lawyer, the better we can help protect your rights.
