Our Personal Injury Services
Our firm handles a wide array of personal injury claims for New Jersey plaintiffs, including cases related to the following:
Car Accidents: Car accidents can have devastating consequences, leaving victims with serious injuries, property damage, and emotional trauma. Whether you were involved in a minor fender-bender or a major collision, the impact on your life can be overwhelming. Our legal team is well-versed in New Jersey’s traffic laws and has decades of experience holding negligent drivers accountable. We work diligently to investigate the details of your accident, from distracted driving and speeding to reckless or impaired driving. Our goal is to secure maximum compensation for medical bills, lost wages, vehicle repairs, and the pain and suffering caused by your injuries.
Truck Accidents: Accidents involving large trucks can result in catastrophic injuries due to the size and weight of commercial vehicles. These cases often involve complex issues of liability, as both the truck driver and the trucking company may bear responsibility. At Feitlin, Youngman, Karas & Gerson, LLC, we have extensive experience handling truck accident claims, including those caused by driver fatigue, overloaded cargo, and poor vehicle maintenance. We understand federal trucking regulations and work closely with experts to build a strong case on your behalf, ensuring you receive compensation for your injuries, long-term care, and any loss of income.
Motorcycle Accidents: Motorcyclists are especially vulnerable on the road, as even a minor accident can result in life-changing injuries. Despite the common misconception that motorcyclists are often at fault, many crashes are caused by negligent drivers who fail to see or yield to motorcycles. Our firm is committed to protecting the rights of injured riders. We understand the unique challenges faced by motorcyclists and will fight to recover compensation for your medical expenses, rehabilitation, and lost wages. Whether you’re dealing with road rash, broken bones, or more severe injuries, we are here to help you get back on your feet.
Pedestrians have little protection in the event of a collision with a vehicle, making them highly susceptible to serious injuries. Whether you were hit while crossing the street, walking on a sidewalk, or simply in a parking lot, pedestrian accidents can lead to severe physical, emotional, and financial consequences. Our attorneys work tirelessly to hold negligent drivers accountable, whether they were speeding, distracted, or failed to yield the right of way. We fight to recover compensation for your medical expenses, lost wages, and the emotional toll of your injuries, so you can focus on healing.
Medical Malpractice: When the people and institutions we trust to heal us don’t live up to their professional standards, we seek justice for injured patients through medical malpractice lawsuits. These claims demand expert testimony and a strong grasp of complex legal and factual issues so it’s imperative to hire lawyers who have successfully litigated these cases.
Harassment, Intimidation, and Bullying: When children are hurt in school either physically or emotionally as a result of harassment, intimidation, and bullying, we will advocate on the child’s behalf to hold the school accountable for its failure to ensure the safety and well-being of your child while in school.
Slip and Fall Incidents: Property owners can be held liable when their carelessness contributes to a guest’s injury. This frequently occurs after someone suffers a slip and fall on a wet floor or where the walking surface is damaged or made dangerous due to a hard-to-see obstruction.
Defective Products: Power tools, household appliances, and other objects that are designed, manufactured, or labeled incorrectly could pose a threat to those who use them. In product liability cases, we work to hold negligent companies accountable for the harm inflicted by their defective products.
Wrongful Death: The unexpected loss of a loved one is devastating, and when that loss is caused by someone else’s negligence or wrongful act, the emotional and financial toll can be overwhelming. Our firm stands with families during these trying times, pursuing justice for the deceased by filing wrongful death claims. We work diligently to hold responsible parties accountable, seeking compensation for funeral expenses, lost income, loss of companionship, and the profound grief that accompanies such a tragedy. While no amount of money can replace the person you’ve lost, our wrongful death attorneys are committed to easing your financial burdens and ensuring that your loved one’s death does not go unanswered.
However you suffered your injury, our firm has the skill and experience to maximize the payment you receive in a settlement or judgment. Damages available under the law include compensation for healthcare costs, lost income, rehabilitation expenses, pain and suffering and the loss of enjoyment in your life. Our firm also represents plaintiffs in wrongful death lawsuits when a loved one is killed due to someone else’s carelessness or willful act.
Recovering Compensation
As long as we can prove you were injured due to another party’s negligence, you should receive compensation to help you deal with the various damages you’ve incurred. Some of those are as follows:
Medical Expenses: This includes not only the immediate costs of emergency care and hospital bills, but also ongoing expenses for rehabilitation, physical therapy, and necessary medical equipment.
Lost Wages and Future Income: If your injury has forced you to miss work or has compromised your ability to earn in the future, we will seek compensation for lost income and diminished earning capacity.
Pain and Suffering: The physical pain and emotional trauma you endure after an injury can have lasting effects on your quality of life. Compensation is available to address these intangible but very real consequences.
Property Damage: In cases like auto accidents, we can also recover compensation for any damage to your vehicle or other personal property.
Loss of Enjoyment of Life: Injuries can prevent you from participating in the activities you once loved. Compensation can be awarded to account for the loss of your ability to enjoy life as fully as you did before your injury.
Our goal is to make sure you’re not left with the financial burden caused by someone else’s carelessness. We carefully evaluate every aspect of your claim to maximize the compensation you receive, so you can focus on what truly matters—your recovery.
