If a driver, whether commercial or a private party, fails to use reasonable care and you are injured, then the driver is responsible (liable) to you for those injuries.

Serious car and other motor vehicle accidents require the guidance of experienced attorneys. We have years of practice and an impressive track record representing people who have suffered significant injuries in motor vehicle accidents (commercial and personal). We work with physicians and other health care providers to assess and review all the short and long-term medical aspects of your case. Our detailed understanding of state automobile, insurance and liability laws means we understand the different sources of recovery available for you. Since most of these cases go to trial, we will work with you on a contingency basis. That means you pay nothing unless you are awarded damages.

If you are involved in an accident, be careful of what you say or sign. Get the names of witnesses and write them down with contact information. Get medical attention as soon as possible after the accident. If possible, take pictures of your vehicle and the other vehicle involved. Take pictures of the location where the accident took place. Since many of these cases go to trial, we can work with you on a contingency fee basis. That means you pay nothing unless and until you are awarded damages.

New Jersey's automobile insurance laws are extremely complicated and require notice provisions for the processing of medical bills and in many instances also require pre-certification and authorization for medical treatment and diagnostic testing. Injured parties rights are also affected by the “tort threshold' option chosen on your individual automobile insurance policy. All of these issues and insurance requirements can further complicate matters when you are already injured, in pain and suffering from economic losses. The law firm of Goldstein, Ballen, O'Rourke & Wildstein is available to help you now and in the future as your need for assistance and legal services arise.
