Personal injury law involves any physical or emotional injury an innocent victim suffers as a result of someone else’s negligence. The purpose of personal injury law is to restore as much as possible to the injured party and to discourage others from committing the same offense.
There are many types of cases that fall under the broad term of personal injury law. Some practice areas that our firm covers in Manchester Township include the following.
This is the most common type of personal injury case. New Jersey law states that property owners are required to maintain their property, or premises, in a safe condition for visitors. If an owner fails to do so or to warn of potential hazards, he or she could be found liable when a visitor suffers an injury. This law applies to residential and commercial properties.
Some examples of potential hazards that could cause an injury include lack of adequate lighting, broken steps, uneven or wet and icy surfaces, and cords left in walkways. Victims who experience a fall may be left suffering from various injuries such as broken bones, torn muscles, spinal cord damage, and brain injuries – to name a few.
In 2020, there were 11,970 auto accidents in Ocean County. Almost all car accidents are the result of someone’s negligence. Distracted driving, which includes texting while driving, adjusting the GPS, engaging with passengers, eating and drinking, and daydreaming, is the most common form of driver negligence.
Another type of negligence is reckless driving, which includes:
Victims are legally entitled to compensation. However, a victim may find that the insurance company is reluctant to offer a fair amount in compensation for damages.
Different from car accidents, which can be traumatic, collisions that involve commercial trucks tend to be catastrophic. Due to the immense size of these vehicles, and the force that they generate on impact, commercial truck accidents frequently leave victims with life-changing or fatal injuries.
Commercial truck accidents are vastly different from accidents that involve average-sized automobiles. These cases are more complex since they can involve multiple potentially liable parties and their insurance companies. Additionally, unlike car accidents, commercial truck accidents require extensive investigational work.
Physicians and other health professionals, and healthcare facilities, are legally required to perform what is known as the standard of care. This phrase basically means a trained health professional will perform, to a reasonable degree, the same level of care to a patient that would be expected of other health professionals in similar circumstances.
If a healthcare provider or facility negligently fails to provide this standard of care and the patient is harmed, or death results, this is considered to be medical malpractice.
Examples of medical malpractice include:

Losing a loved one can be emotionally crushing. The loss may be especially compounded, though, when it could have been avoided. This is immensely unfair. Feelings of grief may be coupled with a sense of seeking justice for your loved one. When someone’s negligence results in the death of another, this constitutes wrongful death.
When wrongful death occurs, the family of the victim has the legal right to pursue compensation for the financial and emotional damages that result from the loss of their loved one. Wrongful death cases cover a wide range of areas, such as:
