Unfortunately, the victims of these types of accidents can suffer lifelong disabilities and injuries, including paralysis, seizure disorders, intellectual damage, and more.
- “Slip-and-falls”: This type of accident is often colloquially referred to as a “slip-and-fall.” It occurs when a person injures themselves at a residence, business, or workplace when it is inadequately protected against foreseeable mishaps and accidents. Icy driveways, poorly maintained stairs, and improperly cleaned floors containing hazards might all create a “slip-and-fall” risk.
- Dog Bites: Dog bites can happen in a flash, and can cause life-changing injuries, scarring or death. Emergency rooms in Bergen county treat hundreds of victims a year.
- Birth Injuries: Although childbirth can naturally be a traumatic process, the risk of serious injury increases on high risk pregnancies.
A History of Successful Personal Injury Verdicts in Bergen County
Our personal injury lawyers in Bergen County, NJ know that no two personal injury cases are exactly the same. You deserve an attorney who treats you like the individual you are and will handle your case with compassion and skill. Here are a few examples of our personal injury attorneys in Bergen County at work:
- In 2017, when we handled a trial in Hackensack, NJ in winning a $15 million verdict ($10 million of which was for punitive damages) against companies involved in the sale and provision of a medical device: “pelvic mesh.” Our client contended the device left her in significant pain and, with our help, the jury determined that she was telling the truth.
- In 2006, one of our clients selflessly decided to donate bone marrow to a leukemia patient in Hackensack, NJ. However, the doctors who performed the donation procedure failed to inform our client of the potential side effects, including reduced mobility and constant pain. Unfortunately, when our client awoke from the procedure, he began experiencing exactly these things. He came to us to help him recover damages. A jury awarded him (and his wife) a total of $9.7 million.
- In 2015, we helped our client, from Garfield, NJ – who had been paralyzed from the waist down in a construction accident – recover a settlement of $7 million. The money went to help our client pay for much-needed care related to his serious injuries.
