How is a personal injury lawsuit resolved?

Many personal injury claims in New Jersey do not require a jury trial. Instead, they are often resolved through complicated negotiations with an insurance company. There are a number of factors that insurers consider when resolving these claims, aside from the injuries involved. Importantly, the insurance carriers must respect the experience and talents of your attorneys in order to maximize your financial recovery.

How much is my personal injury claim worth?

Accident injury victims are entitled to receive compensation for their losses, which are called “legal damages.” These damages are generally categorized as “non-economic damages,” such as pain and suffering, and all intangible bad things that result from an accident, such as permanent or temporary disability, and loss of enjoyment of life.

Additionally, victims are entitled to receive “economic damages,” which compensate for readily calculable dollar losses, such as unpaid medical bills, property damage, loss of income, loss of school tuition or financial opportunity, etc.

Another class of damages is called “punitive,” designed to punish someone whose conduct was beyond negligent, and involved malice or willful, wanton, and reckless disregard for the safety of others. Such an award is intended to send a message to others to prevent future similar conduct.
