Were You Injured in NJ? You May Be Eligible to Pursue Damages!

Personal injury law is designed to help people who suffer serious injuries and other losses because of someone else’s irresponsible actions or failure to act properly. When your health, wellness, or emotional state is compromised due to little or no fault of your own, you have the legal right to file a personal injury claim or lawsuit to seek financial compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages. While you can pursue these damages on your own, your case stands a much better chance with the help of an experienced New Jersey personal injury attorney.

Results may vary depending on your particular facts and legal circumstances.

How to Prove Negligence in a NJ Personal Injury Case

Most personal injury cases come down to the issue of negligence. When investigating a case, our New Jersey personal injury attorneys ask questions like, Who caused the injury? What were their legal responsibilities, and did they fail to do what a reasonable person would have done? State and federal laws provide very specific guidelines for determining fault, liability, and compensation in personal injury cases.

Generally speaking, to prove your personal injury case, you (or your attorney) must demonstrate the following:

The defendant owed you a duty of care
The defendant breached or failed to uphold the duty of care
You were injured
You suffered measurable damages
The defendant’s conduct was the proximate cause of your injuries

As experienced personal injury attorneys in New Jersey, it’s our responsibility to apply the law to the facts of your case and go after each and every dollar that you deserve. Don’t make the mistake of assuming you don’t have a case until you’ve talked to an attorney.

At DeZao & DeZao, P.C., you can meet with a member of our team to discuss your case for free. If you do choose to have us represent you, we won’t charge for our services unless we reach a settlement on your behalf or win your case in court.

What Damages Can I Recover in a Personal Injury Lawsuit?

If you’ve sustained losses because of someone else's actions—even if it seemed like an accident—you don’t deserve to bear that burden by yourself. Fortunately, personal injury law is set up to protect you, help you get better, and fully compensate you for your losses, or “damages.”

The law can be complicated, of course, but all you need is an experienced New Jersey personal injury attorney to guide you through. At DeZao & DeZao, P.C., we are ready to make your case with compassion, dedication, and zeal.

Depending on the unique details of your case, you may be entitled to the following damages:

Medical bills
Lost wages
Loss of consortium (losing the benefits of a family or marital relationship)
Bodily pain and suffering
Emotional distress
Changes in mental stability, cognition, or wellness
Impaired reputation
Brain damage
Disfigurement
Future medical expenses
Future lost income
Loss of earning capacity
Lost or diminished quality/enjoyment of life
In-home assistance, nursing, and care costs
Home modifications

These are just a few examples of compensable damages under New Jersey law. Every case is different, and the compensation you are to receive can vary greatly depending on damages that can be proven, as well as the percentage of liability assigned to each party.

The goal of filing a personal injury claim or lawsuit is to recover damages that help make you whole. At DeZao & DeZao, P.C., we recognize that no amount of financial compensation can undo the pain, suffering, and trauma you have been through. But we have also seen firsthand how a fair settlement or verdict can provide individuals and families with the resources they need to heal.

Results may vary depending on your particular facts and legal circumstances.

How Comparative Negligence Can Affect Your Personal Injury Claim

New Jersey law uses a rule called “modified comparative negligence” to determine fault in personal injury cases. Even if you were partially at fault, you may still be able to recover monetary compensation. In fact, as long as you are less at fault than the other party, you could still be entitled to compensation for your damages.

However, you will not be able to recover the full amount you are seeking in damages. Instead, your damages will be reduced by the percentage of fault you are deemed to have, as decided by the insurance adjuster, judge, and/or jury. In other words, a court will determine what percentage of the fault was yours and then reduce your reward by that amount.

So, if a jury decided that you suffered $100,000 in damages but you were 20 percent at fault, you’d receive an $80,000 award. And remember, if you are found to be more than 50 percent at fault, you won’t receive anything at all.

Figuring out the percentage of fault can be very complicated, and many insurance adjusters will assign fault unjustly in an attempt to deny claims or lower payouts. It’s always best to talk with a personal injury lawyer in New Jersey about your case. As long as you have proof that you were injured and not completely at fault, there is a good chance you are entitled to more money than you think.
