Personal Injury

Accidents can happen in an instant — but the effects often last far longer. Whether it’s a car crash, slip and fall, dog bite, or injury from a defective product, victims are left with medical bills, lost income, physical pain, and emotional distress. Fortunately, New Jersey personal injury law gives you the right to pursue compensation when someone else’s negligence causes you harm.

ASK Law Firm LLC is committed to helping injury victims throughout New Jersey obtain the justice and financial support they deserve. With offices in Hackensack and Woodbridge, we are ready to fight for your recovery — and your future.

What Is a Personal Injury Case?

Personal injury law covers legal claims that arise when someone suffers harm due to another party’s negligence, recklessness, or intentional misconduct. The goal is to “make the victim whole” by compensating them for the losses they have suffered.

To win a personal injury case, the injured person (plaintiff) must generally prove:

  • The defendant owed a duty of care
  • The defendant breached that duty
  • The breach caused the plaintiff’s injury
  • The plaintiff suffered actual damages (medical bills, lost wages, etc.)

Common Types of Personal Injury Claims

ASK Law Firm handles a broad range of personal injury matters, including:

  • Car and truck accidents
  • Motorcycle and bicycle accidents
  • Slip and fall incidents (premises liability)
  • Dog bites and animal attacks
  • Product liability (defective products)
  • Workplace injuries (in conjunction with workers’ compensation)
  • Wrongful death cases

Compensation Available to Injury Victims

If you’ve been injured in an accident, you may be eligible to recover damages for:

  • Medical expenses (including future treatment)
  • Lost wages and loss of future earning ability
  • Pain and suffering
  • Permanent disability or disfigurement
  • Loss of enjoyment of life
  • Emotional distress
  • Property damage

In wrongful death cases, surviving family members may also pursue compensation for funeral costs, loss of companionship, and financial support.

How Long Do You Have to File a Claim?

In New Jersey, the statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is two years from the date of the injury. If you miss this deadline, you may lose your right to recover compensation. That’s why it’s crucial to speak with an attorney as soon as possible after an accident.
