  • Traumatic brain injuries

What Should You Expect From a Personal Injury Lawyer in New Jersey?

Even those who know that they have a strong personal injury claim may not be aware of the legal services that an attorney can provide. Most accident and injury claims involve many complex legal processes.
 
In most cases, securing financial recovery for an accident or injury requires years of legal training and specialized knowledge. Victims of accidents should not have to manage the logistical requirements of the claims process all on their own.
 
Instead, injured people should be able to focus on their own health and recovery. When you hire a personal injury lawyer in New Jersey, they will manage the following elements of your claim:

  • Gathering relevant evidence
  • Speaking with eyewitnesses
  • Consulting with experts and specialists, if necessary
  • Drafting and filing required paperwork
  • Negotiating with any opposing parties
  • Securing relevant medical records
  • Preparing an injury lawsuit, if needed

At Morgan & Morgan, our team has decades of experience in handling personal injury cases. We know how to successfully negotiate with tightfisted and uncooperative insurance providers.
 
In many cases, insurance adjusters will try hard to devalue and undermine the claims of victims. Adjusters are trained to negotiate for the lowest possible payment on each claim.
 
Our skilled legal experts are master negotiators. We know the tactics and strategies that stubborn adjusters rely on and we know how to effectively counter them.
 
Make sure to secure the services of a trustworthy accident lawyer before you speak with an insurance company representative. You should never discuss your accident case without the guidance of a legal professional.

Categories of Damages in Personal Injury Cases

Payments that are made to the victim to compensate for their losses are known as “damages.” Damages are not intended to make injury victims rich. They are not intended to allow victims to profit from their accidents.
 
Instead, financial compensation in a personal injury case is meant to make the victim financially whole. 
 
There are two primary categories of damages in most accident and injury cases. These are known as “economic” and “non-economic” damages.

Economic Damages

This category of compensation is paid to the victim to make up for their direct financial losses. Accident victims usually face negative consequences beyond the physical pain from their injuries.
 
In most cases, victims face many types of financial pressure because of their accidents. Any type of direct monetary cost can be recovered through economic damages.
 
Some of the most common examples of economic damages in accident cases include payments for:

  • Medical bills and expenses
  • Expected future medical costs
  • Damaged or destroyed property
  • Lost income from missed days at work
  • A loss of long-term earning capacity

These are only a few examples of the types of monetary losses that injury victims confront. 

The skilled attorneys at Morgan & Morgan will carefully analyze the facts of your accident case to determine the full spectrum of economic damages that you may be owed.

Non-Economic Damages

Not every type of negative consequence from an accident or injury results in a specific monetary loss. In fact, some of the most difficult and challenging outcomes do not involve the victim's financial life at all.
 
For instance, suppose that you suffered from a severe neck injury in a car crash. You might be unable to take walks with your spouse without feeling pain. Your injury may prevent you from engaging in the hobbies and activities that you used to love.
 
How much are these types of losses worth? Calculating the value of non-economic damages in accident and injury cases is complex.
 
It is important to contact an experienced personal injury lawyer in New Jersey to determine the amount of non-economic damages you can claim. 

Typical examples of non-economic damages include payments for:

  • Physical pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress­­, like stress, anxiety, or depression
  • Post-traumatic stress disorder
  • Disfigurement or disability
  • Loss of ability to enjoy life
  • Embarrassment
  • And more

Some accidents result in fatal injuries for the victim. If you have lost a loved one in an accident caused by another party, do not hesitate. A surviving family has the right to pursue financial compensation on behalf of the decedent. Skilled injury attorneys can build a powerful wrongful death case for you.
 
No matter what the circumstances of your accident or injury may be, you deserve justice. The attorneys will pursue every relevant type of damages in your accident case.

Can I Afford a Personal Injury Attorney?

Trustworthy personal injury lawyers are paid through “contingency fees.” Most transactions require the paying party to provide upfront funds. This is not the case in personal injury law. 

A reputable attorney will explain their payment structure during your initial consultation. With a contingency fee payment structure, the attorney and the client agree to designate a certain percentage of the recovery from the case. After the lawyer has won or settled the case, that percentage is allocated to cover the cost of legal services.
 
The claimant does not owe a single dime unless their attorney secures compensation for them. You should never hire a lawyer or firm that requires payment for legal fees before settling your case.
 
At Morgan & Morgan, we understand the immense financial pressures that most accident victims confront. Because of this, we guarantee that our clients pay nothing unless we successfully win or settle their cases.
 
Our compassionate lawyers believe that everyone deserves qualified legal representation, regardless of their financial situation.
