New Jersey Lawyers Who Represent Car Accident Victims
New Jersey adopted the No-Fault Act in 1972 as a means of providing personal injury protection to anyone injured by the use of an automobile regardless of fault. But there was a price. This protection came in the form of limitations on the claims that injured people could make for non-economic losses such as pain and suffering.
At Nee, Beacham & Gantner, our attorneys provide aggressive legal representation to assist you in obtaining the fullest possible compensation for all of the damages you have suffered in an accident. We have tried — and won — car accident injury cases resulting in six- and seven-figure awards for our clients.
Understanding New Jersey No-Fault Rules
A key part of the New Jersey no-fault insurance is that it requires all New Jersey drivers to purchase one of two automobile insurance policy options:
- Option one is the limitation on lawsuit option. This is sometimes referred to as the "verbal threshold" and severely limits the types and kinds of injuries for which you can seek damages.
- Option two is the no limitation on lawsuit option. This policy contains no barriers to recovery for legitimate claims and gives you the right to sue a negligent driver even for minor injuries.
No matter which policy type you hold, our lawyers can help. Although "limitation on law suit" or "verbal threshold" cases pose hurdles to recovery, requiring you to demonstrate a permanent injury, our lawyers have had success in obtaining excellent results for our clients.
We handle all car accident cases on a contingent fee basis. That means you pay no attorney fee unless we win.
Closed-head injuries. One car accident injury that is overlooked by attorneys and medical professionals alike is a closed-head injury, in which traumatic brain damage occurs with no outward sign of physical injury. Learn more about head and brain injuries.
