To help avoid the common pitfalls of filing a personal injury claim, hire an attorney from Garces, Grabler & LeBrocq.

Perhaps one of the most common types of personal injury cases is car accidents. If you or a loved one were in a collision that was not your fault, you may be able to get compensation for the injuries, property damage, and other losses you sustained. To be able to file a car accident lawsuit, you have to know your rights.

New Jersey is a no-fault state when it comes to car accidents. This means that after a crash, the parties involved file claims with their personal injury protection insurance. To be able to file a lawsuit against the negligent party, the injured party has to meet the serious injury threshold unless you have an unlimited right to sue.

Car accidents that occur while using rideshare services can be incredibly distressing. In addition, the path to recovery and receiving compensation can be complicated and intimidating at best. If you have been injured in a rideshare accident, hiring an attorney can be crucial to maximizing your chances of receiving the compensation you deserve. 

An attorney could help you uncover the cause of the accident and gather the necessary evidence to prove you are not at fault. A skilled attorney may also help you correctly file a personal injury claim, negotiate with your insurance companies, and reach a settlement agreement that will help you financially recover from the accident. Rideshare accidents are tricky to navigate, but a Garces, Grabler & LeBrocq lawyer’s guidance could make all the difference in your case.

If you fall on someone’s property, it may be possible to file a personal injury claim. To do so, you need to prove that the property owner was at fault. These can be tricky cases because the person who occupies the property is not always the person who owns it.

You have to know whose responsibility it was to maintain the space and what kind of failures on their part were negligent. If they were aware of a danger and did nothing to fix it or warn of it, they may be liable. Some common examples of hazardous conditions that lead to slip-and-fall accidents are:

• Poor lighting
• Wet floors
• Bulging carpets
• Potholes
• Unsalted, icy areas
• Loose flooring material

People who sustained an injury at work typically do not have to file a civil lawsuit. Instead, they turn to a separate workers’ compensation system. Employers have to buy worker’s compensation insurance, and this is what covers any injuries or illnesses you get while on the job.

One of the best parts of worker’s compensation is that you will likely not have to prove your employer was negligent. Although most people would not be able to sue, there are some exceptions to this. If your employer intentionally caused you pain or if they do not have enough worker’s compensation coverage, you may be able to sue.

Any kind of traffic accident is alarming, but especially those involving large trucks. While truck drivers are required to follow certain regulations, mistakes and violations can occur and cause serious or fatal injury to those involved in a crash. If you or a loved one has been injured in a truck accident, an attorney could help you determine the accident’s cause and fight for the compensation you deserve. 

Recovering losses sustained in a truck accident involves determining what caused the accident and whether a specific individual is at fault. A Garces, Grabler & LeBrocq lawyer could help you gather and make sense of the evidence found at the accident, and use that evidence to pursue just compensation. Truck accidents and their aftermath can be overwhelming, but a learned attorney can support you in your recovery and with your claim.
