Suing For Personal Injury in Automobile Accidents

SUING FOR PERSONAL INJURY IN AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENTS

Everyone who drives a car is required to have auto insurance, this is especially true of drivers in New Jersey. Pursuant to New Jersey statute, drivers face stiff penalties for driving without insurance, including loss of license and large fines. Whenever the passenger or driver of a vehicle is injured, the insurance company is required to compensate the non-negligent party.

At Bailey & Orozco, LLC, we take a unique approach as we attempt to resolve the matter through negotiation before resorting to litigation. However, certain insurance carriers are notorious for denying claims, resulting in a complaint having to be filed in the appropriate court. Many of these insurance companies seem to have a policy of denying a claim, even meritorious ones, to discourage attorneys from taking personal injury cases where they are the insured's carrier. It is imperative that if you are going to hire an attorney you hire an attorney that has sat at both sides of the table. Our attorneys have experience handling claims for both plaintiffs and defendants, which gives our clients the advantage when it comes down to understanding the process and settlement negotiations.

The case law in New Jersey is quite clear, that in order to proceed against the negligent party in any automobile case you must be able to show and prove serious injuries. Recent cases in New Jersey have lowered the threshold somewhat, but rest assured that with a good attorney and the proper argument you can reach a settlement or trial by jury that results in compensation for your traumatic injuries.

From the very beginning our attorneys will handle the entire case, by getting in contact with the negligent party's insurance carrier, giving you instructions about possible treatment, ensuring that you are protected from large medical medicals for long term care, lost wages, etc. The most important thing is for the client to feel at ease and begin recovery, instead of worrying about who is going to pay for the bills. Let the attorneys at Bailey & Orozco, LLC, guide you through the process.

We provide a free initial consultation where we can provide you with information about the possibilities of a recovery, length of time for that recovery, and what you can expect as far as compensation.

If you have been involved in a truck, auto, or motorcycle accident, hit as a pedestrian, or suffered injuries as a result of being a passenger in a vehicle you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries.
