Dedicated Accident Attorneys in Jersey City, NJ at Team Law Protect Injured Victims in Jersey City and Throughout New Jersey

Injured in a car accident? Slip and fall on a broken step? Wondering if you can hold the responsible party accountable? Personal injury law protects those who have been injured because of another person’s negligent actions. But the law can be confusing and many accident victims do not recover the compensation they deserve. Don’t let that happen. The skilled Jersey City personal injury lawyers at Team Law successfully recover the maximum compensation allowable for accident victims. Team Law’s personal injury lawyers have been helping New Jersey families for more than 60 years. Our experienced team works closely with accident victims, fighting tirelessly on their behalf to hold the at-fault party accountable.

Personal injury law was designed to protect individuals who were injured because of another person’s reckless, negligent behavior. If someone can be held legally responsible for the harm inflicted, then the accident victim may file a personal injury claim for damages.

Compensatory Damages

In a personal injury claim, the injured party seeks damages for the injuries they sustained in the accident. Personal injury damages are compensatory – they are designed to compensate the injured party and essentially restore them to the condition they were in prior to the accident.

Compensatory damages in a personal injury claim may include any of the following:

• Medical expenses incurred from the accident, including the estimated cost of future medical care as a result of the accident
• Loss of income due to work absence
• Loss of earning capacity
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress
• Loss of vacation time
• Loss of enjoyment
• Loss of consortium
• Property loss

At Team Law, our accident attorneys in Jersey City, NJ protect the rights of those injured in accidents, advocating on their behalf for just compensation for their injuries.

Negligence Is the Foundation for All Personal Injury Claims

Under personal injury law, the party that caused the accident must have exhibited negligent behavior. Negligence is the key component in all personal injury claims, regardless of the type of accident. Just because you slipped on an icy sidewalk doesn’t mean that you can legally hold someone else responsible.

The at-fault party must have exhibited careless, reckless, negligent behavior that contributed to or caused the accident. Legal negligence must be demonstrated and it is not always easy to do. The individual that caused the accident will defend their actions, arguing that the injured party was at least partly responsible for the accident.

Time Limits for Filing Personal Injury Claims in New Jersey

Every state has what is known as statutes of limitations. Statutes of limitations are the legal timeframes for filing a claim in the state’s civil court system, and they vary depending upon the type of claim. In New Jersey, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is two years from the time the injury occurred.

Statutes of limitations are very important legal deadlines. The person who was injured must file a personal injury claim in the New Jersey courts prior to the end of this two-year period. If this deadline is not met, the courts will refuse to hear the case. More importantly, the injured victim will then be unable to recover any compensation for their injuries.

About Jersey City, NJ

The City of Jersey City is the second-most populous city in New Jersey and the largest city in the county seat of Hudson County. Jersey City is located across from the Hudson River from New York City. The area of present-day Jersey City was purchased from the Lenape Native Americans in the early 17th century and incorporated into the Dutch colony of New Netherlands. Much of what would become the current downtown area of Jersey City was laid out following the American Revolution. Jersey City was formally established by the state legislature in 1820; after the Civil War, Hudson City, Bergen City, and Greenville were incorporated into Jersey City. In the second half of the 19th century through the 20th century, Jersey City developed into an important manufacturing, transportation, and shipping hub. Beginning in the 1980s, Jersey City’s waterfront area was redeveloped into one of the U.S.’s largest banking and financial hubs, leading the area and the city as a whole to garner the nickname “Wall Street West”
