What is Personal Injury under NJ Law?

Personal injury encompasses any physical harm sustained by a person’s body. While personal injury is a relatively general legal term that includes the mental and emotional consequences of an injury, it does not include damage to an individual’s reputation or property. When you bring a lawsuit against someone else because they are responsible for the injuries you suffered, this is known as a personal injury claim. The person seeking compensation in a personal injury action is known as the plaintiff, while the person or party facing the lawsuit is known as the defendant. In order for the plaintiff to recover damages, the defendant must be found liable. Let’s take a closer look at some key elements of New Jersey personal injury law.

What is Needed for a Personal Injury Lawsuit?

There are three primary facets of a personal injury claim: injuries, negligence and damages. The injury part is rather self-explanatory. In order to file a personal injury lawsuit, you must have suffered injuries. Second, the person or organization who becomes the defendant must have acted negligently.

Negligence: Who is at Fault?

Negligence means failure to take proper care. In a personal injury case, negligence can occur in a myriad of ways. For example, a doctor who fails to provide an acceptable standard of care may be found negligent. In an auto claim, the person who was texting while driving and caused your motor vehicle accident is the negligent party. In a premises liability claim, such as a slip and fall, the owner or manager of the property may be deemed negligent for failing to take necessary steps to prevent the incident.

Damages: Compensation for Injuries

Once the necessary criteria for injuries and negligence have been filed, the case takes on a monetary value, which can be recovered through a personal injury lawsuit. The compensation awarded to a plaintiff in a personal injury case is often referred to as damages. There is no limit on the amount of money or damages a victim can recover for their injuries in New Jersey. And damages includes more than just the cost of medical bills. A successful personal injury claim may result in damages for:

  • Medical expenses, including rehabilitative treatments and therapies
  • The cost of ongoing medical care and future treatment
  • Loss of income while in the hospital, during recovery, and any future lost wages due to inability to perform your job as you once did
  • Pain and suffering resulting from the injuries
  • Mental anguish, emotional trauma, and any ongoing mental health issues associated with the injuries
  • Loss of enjoyment of life; and
  • Loss of companionship or consortium in the case of a wrongful death claim

Have a Personal Injury Case in New Jersey

Investigating and understanding the nuances involved in your personal injury matter allows us to formulate a tailored strategy for reaching the best possible outcome, whether that involves intensive negotiation to reach a desirable settlement or an all-out attack at trial. Some of the personal injury cases we often handle include:

Injured in an Auto Accident: Motor Vehicle Accident Claims

Auto accidents are among the most common source of personal injury claims in New Jersey. One of the reasons for the frequency of injury lawsuits after motor vehicle accidents is the variety of ways in which these accidents can occur. For example, distracted driving is rampant in New Jersey and throughout the U.S. It can occur because a driver was texting, talking on the phone, applying makeup, eating, reaching for something, or using their navigation. Other types of auto accidents that may result in injuries include drunk driving, passenger accidents, motorcycle crashes, hit and run, cyclist accidents, hitting a pedestrian, truck accidents, or nighttime accidents when drivers are more likely to fall asleep at the wheel.

Injured on Someone Else’s Property: Premises Liability

A premises liability claim arises when someone responsible for maintaining the safety of a property fails to take proper care. One common type of premises liability case is slip and fall, which can happen in a parking lot, on the sidewalk, in a grocery store, at the mall, on an icy path, after a snowstorm, or due to inadequate security. The essence premises liability is that you are injured while on someone else’s property. If your injuries could have been prevented had the property owner or manager taken steps to prevent hazardous conditions on their premises, you may be able to obtain compensation.

Injury from a Defective Product – Product Liability

Product manufacturers are responsible for protecting the safety of consumers. When they sell defective products, manufacture dangerous medications and medical devices, failure to warn doctors or patients about side effects, distribute everyday items that fail to meet safety standards, or put faulty components in their vehicles, unsuspecting consumers are often left to suffer the consequences. A product liability claim is a subtype of personal injury in which the plaintiff is injured because of a defective or dangerous product. In these cases, negligent manufacturers and other responsible parties may be found liable for significant damages. For instance, our team of New Jersey Personal Injury Lawyers at Fronzuto Law Group recovered $14.5 million for a young boy who sustained permanent brain damage because of a defective youth baseball bat.

How do I Determine the Value of My Injury Claim?

In order to determine the value of a personal injury claim, it is necessary to consider a number of significant factors. Placing a monetary value on a specific injury case requires an understanding of what caused the accident, who the liable party or parties are, what injuries resulted from the accident, how the injuries have impacted your life, the long-term consequences of your injuries, how much (if any) insurance coverage there may be for all of the parties involved, and the New Jersey laws that affect your claim, such as comparative negligence. If you are wondering how much your personal injury case is worth, it is highly advisable to consult an experienced New Jersey personal injury attorney. Our NJ personal injury lawyers at Fronzuto Law Group are happy to sit down with you, review all of the details of your case, and discuss the potential compensation that may be available to you.
