Slip and Falls
Property owners have a legal obligation to provide a safe environment for anyone visiting their premises. Uneven or slippery surfaces, poor lighting, or any other hazardous conditions can lead to an injury resulting in a premises liability case. These are more commonly known as slip and fall cases. If you have been injured by dangerous conditions when visiting someone's property, our personal injury lawyers can prove that your injury was a direct result of a condition that the property owner knew about or should have known about.
Dog Bites
A dog bite can lead to more than just permanent physical damage, such as scarring and disfigurement. The emotional trauma following a dog attack can cause severe emotional trauma. New Jersey has specific laws regarding dog bite victims and can protect you whether you were on private property or in a public area. If you have been bitten, our lawyers in Hoboken can hold the owner accountable for their dog's actions.
Work Injuries
If you have been injured on the job, you might be unsure about how to proceed so that you don't put your livelihood in jeopardy. Our workplace injury attorneys will ensure your rights are protected and that you can fully recover — regardless of whether you are physically able to return to work.

Construction Accidents
Working in construction is inherently dangerous, and accidents on the work site often result in severe injuries. An accident involving hazardous materials and heavy equipment found on a construction job site may even lead to the wrongful death of a loved one. If you or a family member was injured while working on a construction site, our personal injury lawyers can investigate the cause of the accident, file your workers' compensation claim, and if needed, pursue a lawsuit to secure just compensation.
Do I Have a Personal Injury Case?
There are four primary elements every successful personal injury lawsuit must have. During your consultation, we will analyze the facts of your case to determine if you have grounds for legal action. Here are the details we will focus on:
Did the other party have a responsibility to protect your safety?
In legal terms, this is called a “duty of safety," and it means that someone was obligated to take measures to minimize their risk of causing harm to others, including you. For example, when someone is driving a car, they have a duty to follow traffic laws and keep their eyes on the road to avoid injuring other motorists, pedestrians, and bicyclists.
Did the other party fail in their responsibility to protect your safety?
A crucial element of a successful personal injury case is proof that another party failed to uphold any duty of safety they owed to you. For example, if a driver took their eyes off the road to respond to a text message, which caused them to rear-end your car at a four-way stop, it could be said that they breached their duty of safety.
Did the other party cause your injury?
In order to bring successful legal action in a personal injury case, you must be able to demonstrate that the other party's negligent actions resulted in your losses. It's important to understand that this isn't always as obvious as it may seem. For example, if you were rear-ended by a motorist, it may not be due to negligence on the driver's part. Their brakes may have failed due to a design flaw, which would make the manufacturer responsible. Our Hoboken attorneys can dig deep to find out who is responsible for your losses.
Did the other party cause you to suffer losses?
If the other party caused you to suffer any loss that can be measured in money, you very likely have a case. Examples include medical expenses, missed wages, and property damage. An attorney can be invaluable in helping you determine the true extent of those losses by consulting medical professionals and other expert witnesses.

What If I Am Partially Responsible?
Because New Jersey follows the principle of comparative negligence, you can still pursue damages if you are no more than 50% at fault for your injuries. For example, if you are determined to be 20% at fault for a car accident, you could still collect restitution for 80% of your total losses.
But remember: It's possible that if you think you share responsibility, you are mistaken. The best approach to protecting your rights is to keep all discussion of your accident between yourself and your lawyer. Consult an attorney and let them determine if you are in any part responsible for your injury.
