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:

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.
Breach of duty. A breach of duty is an act or omission that violates the appropriate or accepted duty of care.
Causation. Causation means the defendant’s breach of duty is the actual cause of the victim’s injuries or losses.
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.

If you ever find yourself in the unfortunate situation of being injured in a car accident, look no further! Forget all those big billboard lawyers and call this firm immediately. Diane Cordoso handled 2 cases for me... I had the bad luck of being hit more than once in a short period of time.... Diane, Maria, her assistant, and the entire team are compassionate, professional, and are perfect examples of what you need in these situations. They communicate every step of the way and are always on the ball. I sincerely hope to never have to use their services again lol... I've had enough careless drivers hit and injure me thanks... BUT God forbid I'm ever in that horrible situation again, I know who to call. If your attorney isn't getting the job done, call this firm! TODAY!

Megi Verzivolli

Great service provided from day 1. I would recommend to all friends and family.

hey hi, it's Keidaï

Really appreciated the thoughtful, proactive, kind, efficient, and respectful interaction during a time of tragedy and shock that I had never experienced before. I called and asked some questions about how they do business, after researching a bit online on what to ask a personal injury lawyer and find a good fit – I strongly advise anyone to do the same and not make a rushed decision. I highly recommend working with the team. I'm very glad I went them in the end – thank you for your help and for standing up for me when I wasn't able to. PS Diane is awesome (:
