Legal Question in Personal Injury in New Jersey

The two biggest questions we ever get with a personal injury case is (1) how much? and (2) how long? An attorney will help compile and amass all the medical bills and medical records, deal with the insurance companies, negotiate a settlement, and, if necessary (if the insurance company does not offer enough) file suit. There would be no attorney fee unless you recover money. If you go it alone, you'd have to deal with the insurance adjusters and put together your own medical packages, bills, and other documents and handle making demands. Feel free to call our offices to discuss.

As a PI attorney in we are allowed to charge no more than a 1/3 fee on the net recovery. While as an attorney we "get paid", it is typically to the client's advantage to seek representation for these very reasons as stated above. Attorney representation will maximize your recovery and since it is contingent, the attorney has every reason to help you try to achieve the best possible result. Most attorneys who are experienced in this area will do a free consultation and offer a contingent fee agreement where you do not pay unless there is a recovery.We will come to you if you can't get to us.Finally you mention the word sue. We would of course file a lawsuit as a last resort, but when you hire an attorney they will first work hard to try to settle your case and if not succesfull lawsuit papers will be filed at the courthouse

I recommend you seek counsel, please feel free to call me at 1-888-HELPWIN or 215-247-0255 if you are interested.

The injuries you describe are quite serious so the best hope is for a successful physicla and emotional recovery.

Legally she would have to prove liability (e.g., you state the step was not marked and caused her to fall) and her damages and how they have affected her (e.g., her broken hip and shoulder).

The facts would have to be considered but many law firms would handle the case on a contingent fee basis. As the facts and law are not so simple it would make sense for your mother to speak with counsel as soon as possible, i.e., before making any statement to anyone else.

We have a number of lawyers here who could assist you. Please call for an appointment if you are interested.
