Do I Have A Personal Injury Case?

In any personal injury case, three things must be proven:

  1. Accident — We must be able to show that an accident occurred when and where we say it did.
  2. Damage — We must show that the accident caused an injury to you, rather than only your reputation or property. Damages can include medical expenses both short and long term, lost wages and income if you are rendered unable to work, and pain and suffering caused by your injury.
  3. Negligence — Finally we must be able to show that the cause of your accident was another individual’s or group’s negligence.

While the terms and steps are fairly straightforward, proving them in a court of law is not always easy. The negligent party will often have legal counsel of their own, working to show that it was in fact your own recklessness or inattentiveness that caused the accident, not that of their client. Having an experienced personal injury attorney to represent your interests from the onset of your accident will help ensure that your rights and best interests are always protected.

Personal Injury Damages And Recovery In Morris County, New Jersey

If you were in an accident on the New Jersey Turnpike, for example, chances are you will have medical expenses, perhaps for years to come. If a serious medical condition leaves you unable to work, you will not only lose current income, but you may never fully regain the ability to ever work again. Insurance companies will be quick to offer a settlement, but it often falls short of your needs over the long haul. And New Jersey law requires that you bring a case as soon as possible — waiting too long can cost you the compensation you deserve!

We take a long view of your needs to make sure you recover full damages for your pain and suffering, current and future medical expenses, and lost wages in cases of:

  • Premises liability: Property owners have a duty to keep their property safe for tenants, customers, guests and visitors, whether that means providing adequate lighting, ensuring the security of the premises or making certain that elevators are in working order. When a business or a residence doesn’t clean up spills or repair broken stairs — and you are hurt in a slip-and-fall accident — you may deserve compensation for the damage you suffered.
  • Products liability or defective products: Businesses are required to make sure that products they have manufactured, distributed or marketed are reasonably safe when used as directed. If they aren’t — and the product you trust hurts you — we can assist in helping you recover compensation.
  • Car accidents: If you’ve been injured in an auto accident in New Jersey, you should be compensated for your medical bills, lost wages and the damage to your car. Insurance companies don’t want to pay you — we want to get you what you deserve.
  • Motorcycle accidents: When you are a motorcyclist, you’re more exposed to potential injury than anyone else on the road — and many people see bikers as “daredevils.” Smith & Gaynor, LLC, works with you to make sure you get the representation you need in front of a court, insurance companies and in recovery.
  • Dog bites: Any dog — not just so-called “dangerous” dogs like pit bulls and rottweilers — can bite. If you’ve been bitten by a dog, whether in public or at a friend’s house, we can help you recover from the owner and their insurance company for the injuries you have suffered.
  • Workers’ compensation: Each year, thousands of employees in Morris, Bergen and Somerset counties and across New Jersey are injured in their workplaces. Our lawyers help you obtain workers’ compensation — a state-mandated set of benefits for those who suffer illness or injury caused by job-related duties.
  • Construction accidents: Working in construction is dangerous. The great heights often involved with the work, as well as the heavy machinery and powerful chemicals make for an extremely unsafe working environment. If any one of a hundred safety measures is skipped or overlooked, it can lead to serious injury.
  • Wrongful death: When an accident is so severe that it results in a wrongful death, we help the victim’s survivors ensure that their financial future is secure.
