Types of Personal Injury Claims We Handle

At Garces, Grabler & LeBrocq, our Jersey City personal injury attorneys have experience winning for clients in a wide range of New Jersey personal injury claims. Common personal injury cases our Jersey City personal injury attorneys handle include:

CAR ACCIDENTS

Jersey City area car accidents can lead to severe and lasting injuries that warrant auto accident claims to recover damages. If you have been harmed in a car crash due to a negligent driver’s actions, consult with our lawyers regarding filing a car accident claim.

TRUCK ACCIDENTS

Accidents involving big rigs, semi-trucks, and 18-wheelers can be catastrophic, especially if they involve smaller passenger vehicles. Besides the devastating implications, determining the responsible party can bring about another layer of complications and stress. If you’ve been involved in a truck accident in Jersey City, contact our qualified injury lawyers at GGL to defend your rights and ensure you are reimbursed for damages.

SLIP AND FALL INCIDENTS

Property owners are legally responsible for ensuring the safety of visitors on their premises — invitees and licensees. Whether you’ve experienced a fall from a height or stumbled at ground level, the potential for sustaining serious injuries is a real concern and one that can profoundly impact all aspects of your life.

WORK INJURIES

Regardless of how you got hurt, if another party was responsible for your injuries, we can help. The lawyers at Garces, Grabler & LeBrocq are well-versed in all personal injury matters, boasting extensive experience in different injury cases. We take an aggressive approach when fighting for injured victims, unwavering in our commitment to securing results for our clients.

How Do I Know If I Have a Case?

In the aftermath of an accident, the shock, pain, and confusion can be overwhelming, making it challenging to grasp the situation and determine the next steps. But as medical bills begin to pile up and your life undergoes a slow but significant upheaval — or is altered permanently — you may find yourself questioning what legal options are available to you. But how do you tell if you have an injury case?

Generally, you may have a personal injury case if you’ve been injured because of another party’s negligence or wrongful actions. It’s recommended that you consult with a personal injury lawyer in Jersey City to discuss the specifics of your case. Many injured victims are never sure what to do next until they speak with an attorney.

Consulting with experienced lawyers is the best way to know whether your case is valid and the potential value of your claim. Our injury lawyers will review the details of your case and help you identify liable parties and the at-fault party’s negligence to get you the justice you deserve.

Why Should I Choose GGL To Represent Me?

Navigating a personal injury claim after a serious accident can be challenging, especially when dealing with tight-fisted insurance companies and/or stubborn at-fault parties. Insurance companies, inparticular, may use tactics intended to exploit you financially — taking advantage of your pain, stress, worries, confusion, and overall physical and emotional vulnerability — to get you and your family to accept a settlement amount that is far less than what you truly deserve.

At Garces, Grabler & LeBrocq, we understand a catastrophic accident impacts not only you but your family, too, and sometimes well beyond. Nobody takes advantage of our clients. Our legal team will never stand for it. With our Jersey City personal injury attorneys by your side, insurance companies and opposing attorneys will know they are in for a fight.

What Damages Are Available to Jersey City Accident Victims?

It makes sense to have concerns after suffering severe injuries in an accident that was the fault of another party, such as: How much compensation can I expect for my injuries?

If you’ve been harmed due to someone else’s negligence, the party responsible for the accident may be liable for covering losses associated with your injury, including medical expenses, lost earnings, and the trauma you’ve endured as aresult of the injury.

The legal team at Garces, Grabler &LeBrocq has the dedication and know-how to prove liability, and they can recoup funds to compensate you for your losses. If you have been an accident victim in the Jersey City area, here are some of the damages you may be able to recover.

Economic Damages

These losses can be substantiated with a specific dollar value and proved by presenting receipts and documented evidence. They are meant to restore you to your financial position before the accident. They include:

Past, present, and future medical expenses
Lost income
Lost earning capacity

Non-Economic Damages

These are more subjective and are meant to cover intangible losses, which don’t have a definitive dollar value. They include:

Pain and suffering
Disability
Diminished quality of life
Loss of consortium

Punitive Damages

These damages are not always awarded but can be made available to the injured plaintiff under certain circumstances. They are different because they are meant to punish the defendant after it is proven that they acted egregiously (in an outtandingly bad way) or with malice. In New Jersey, these damages are capped at $350,000, or five times the amountof compensatory damages.

All of our personal injury lawyers in Jersey City are committed to winning and will fight for the maximum compensation you are entitled to. Garces, Grabler & LeBrocq attorneys will do everything possible to maximize our clients’ recoverable damages in a respectable, honorable, and accountable manner.

How a Jersey City Personal Injury Lawyer Can Help You

You can expect the at-fault party’s insurance company to have a team of defense attorneys and insurance adjusters all gunning to reduce or deny your claim. To level the playing field, enlist the services of an experienced personal injury lawyer in Jersey City. Insurance companies are aware of our firm’s no-nonsense reputation and our commitment to getting results for our clients. And because of that, they are less likely to try underhanded tactics.

Here are some of the ways our injury attorneys at Garces, Grabler & LeBrocq can help with your case:

Use medical professionals, engineers, and accident reconstructionists to strengthen your case.
Assess the accident scene and obtain relevant evidence. This includes surveillance and traffic footage.
Obtain witness statements while their memories are still fresh, along with their contact information.
Oversee negotiations with insurance defense attorneys and their adjusters.
File a lawsuit against liableparties and insurance companies within NJ’s statute of limitations.
Prepare your case for trial and fearlessly advocate on your behalf.

At Garces, Grabler & LeBrocq, you are not just another case for us; you are family. We make a point of getting to know you personally in addition to the details of your case. We take a more aggressive approach and use our resources, experience, and commitment to seek justice for you.

Can I Recover Compensation if I’m Partially at Fault?

New Jersey uses the comparative negligence system when determining fault in personal injury cases and sets the limit at 50%. That means juries can assign fault to multiple parties and determine each party’s liability in terms of the percentage of fault.

Under this framework, if you’re partly at fault for the accident and your injuries and you are apportioned a percentage of fault, your overall compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault. However, since the limit is set at 50%, if you’re 50% to blame, you cannot recover any compensation for damages.

Picture this: You were walking in a public park where dogs are allowed off-leash. If a dog bites you, the dog owner and/or their insurance company may argue comparative negligence if, for instance, you were provoking the dog or acting in a way that could be perceived as threatening. In this situation, the court might consider both parties’ actions.

Suppose it’s found that you were 35% to blame for the animal attack — for example, because you behaved in a way that aggravated the dog — and the court awards you a $100,000 recovery. In that case, your actual recovery will be reduced based on your percentage of fault, and your net recovery would be $65,000. Using the same example, if you’re determined to be 50% or more to blame for the dog bite, you would recover $0 in damages.

Insurance companies will try to blame you for the accident and your injuries. Don’t let them. If you’ve been hurt in an accident, consider reaching out to our tenacious personal injury lawyers in Jersey City to stand by your side. You might be eligible for significant compensation even if you think you were partly at fault. Let us perform a nuanced analysis of your personal injury case, determine who is to blame, and explain your options.

How Much Does a Personal Injury Lawyer Cost?

Nobody gets up with the intention of being involved in an accident that someone else causes. At GGL, we recognize that accidents are never planned, and this reality may raise concerns for our clients about how they can afford the powerful representation they deserve. We understand your position and the situation you are dealing with.

We firmly believe you shouldn’t bear the financial burden of filing an injury claim because of someone else’s negligent actions. That’s why we provide our legal expertise on a contingency fee basis. In essence, you only pay us once we successfully recover the monetary compensation you deserve. If, for any reason, our Jersey City attorneys don’t secure a positive outcome for your personal injury case, you pay us nothing. This goes to show just how committed we are to winning your case.

How Long Do I Have to File a Personal Injury Claim?

Pursuing a claim right after an accident is always advisable since the evidence is fresh and available. There’s a limited time window for you to file a personal injury claim against the responsible party. The statute of limitations is two years following the injury date.

Two years might seem like a lot of time, but time has a way of passing by, especially when you’re on the road to recovery. Let our skilled Jersey City personal injury attorneys take care of the legal nitty-gritty of your case while you focus on getting better. We’ll make sure you never miss any important deadlines.
