Automobile Accidents
If you or a loved one is injured in an automobile accident, trying to figure out the complexities of medical treatment, medical bills, insurance coverage and other loss can be a daunting task. An experienced personal injury attorney can guide you through those uncertain times and obtain compensation for you. Damages caused by someone else’s negligence with a car usually results in severe and permanent bodily injuries for the other driver and passengers. Hiring an experienced attorney will result in the best possible outcome.
Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycles are not just a mode of transportation – they are a way of life. Motorcycle culture is not only thrilling and enjoyable, it can influence fashion styles, social groups, and family bonding. Unfortunately, when you are riding you are more subject to catastrophic injuries without the protection of an automobile surrounding you. Motorcycle injuries are further complicated because the medical bills are not handled the same way they are for automobile accidents, which are subject to PIP coverage. If you have any questions or need representation to help you navigate the complications of a motorcycle accident, please contact our office. William Peck has been riding motorcycles for over 30 years, and still loves to ride.
Premise Liability – Slip and Falls / Trip and Falls
Let’s face it, sometimes you need to fall down in order to pick yourself up and succeed. But when we aren’t talking about metaphors, falling down is just plain embarrassing. But when the fall down isn’t your fault, and caused by someone else’s negligence, this makes it even worse. Compounding the problem are the injuries that result from this fall down. Property owners are responsible for keeping their premises safe from dangers. Proving a claim against a property owner requires certain proofs concerning notice and knowledge about the dangerous condition, and if certain proofs are not met, you will not be successful in your claim for your injuries. If you slip or trip and fall and suffer an injury, contact our office so that you can have an experienced injury attorney guide you.
Dog Bites
New Jersey holds dog owners strictly liable for injuries caused by their dog biting another person. However, the intricacies of bringing a claim against the dog owner makes proving a case difficult. Oftentimes the claim is handled by homeowners insurance, but when the dog owner doesn’t own a home, figuring out how to resolve a claim involves dealing with trying to prove that the landlord knew of the dog’s viscous propensity. Damages also need to be proven, just as in any personal injury case. Hiring an experienced attorney will be the best way to present your dog bite claim and result in the best possible outcome.
Workplace Injuries
Workplace injuries involve many aspects, including figuring out who is responsible for paying medical bills, how to file a claim for workers compensation coverage, and also whether or not there is a responsible party to file a claim against who is not your employer. Even if you file a claim for workers compensation, you may be entitled to additional awards depending on the circumstances of your claim. Additionally, you will need to undergo appropriate medical treatment and care in order to heal from your injuries. Plus there may be issues with lost wages and other economic damages. Hiring an experienced attorney will ensure the best possible outcome.
Municipal Court – Traffic Tickets
Unfortunately a traffic ticket is something most of us will have to deal with in our lifetime. If you receive multiple tickets, the problem is even worse. Plus if you have prior tickets or other violations on your driving record, another traffic ticket can cost you a lot, including possible loss of your drivers license, motor vehicle points and surcharges, fines, costs, and even exposure (sometimes) to jail time. An experienced attorney will guide you through the process and result in the best possible outcome.
Business Disputes
Business disputes often involve a misunderstanding or misinterpretation of a contract or agreement between the parties involved. Many times legal reasoning and the correct application of the law is needed. Hiring an experienced attorney to handle the business dispute can help bring about a faster resolution and more satisfactory result.
