Do I Have a Case?

You may have grounds to file a personal injury claim in New Jersey if one or more parties negligently caused or contributed to your accident. Negligence is the basis for most injury lawsuits. The legal definition of negligence is a careless action or lack of action that causes injury or harm to another person. In most cases, a successful personal injury lawsuit requires proof or evidence of four elements:

  1. Duty of care. The duty of care is a responsibility to act in a manner that a reasonable and prudent party would in the same circumstances.
  2. Breach of duty. A breach of duty is an act or omission that violates the appropriate or accepted duty of care.
  3. Causation. Causation means the defendant’s breach of duty is the actual cause of the victim’s injuries or losses.
  4. Damages. The victim must have suffered damages in the accident. Damages is the legal term for losses suffered, such as physical injuries, medical expenses and lost wages.

If you believe someone else negligently caused your recent injury in New Jersey, consult with our attorneys to find out if you have grounds for a claim. If so, you may be eligible for financial compensation for several different types of damages.

Cases We Accept

At Brady Reilly & Cardoso, LLC, our attorneys accept many different types of cases, including:

You May Be Eligible for Financial Compensation

Nothing can reverse the serious injuries or losses you suffered because of someone else’s negligent or reckless acts. Compensation granted to you by an insurance company, judge or jury, however, could give you justice, accountability and financial security for the future. Fair compensation is especially important if you or a loved one suffered a serious injury that will require future medical care.

The average settlement or judgment award in New Jersey can reimburse a victim for damages such as:

  • Medical bills
  • Property damage
  • Losses of income
  • Pain and suffering
  • Lost quality of life
  • Punitive damages

The value of your particular case will depend on factors such as the gravity of your physical injuries and emotional distress, your timeline for healing, your income level, your age and overall health, and the amount of insurance available to cover your losses. Although an insurance company may try to diminish the value of your injury claim, a lawyer can fight for maximum financial recovery on your behalf.

We are committed
to providing our clients with the one-on-one,
personal attention they
need and deserve.
