Frequently Asked Questions About Personal Injury Cases In Passaic, NJ

What kinds of insurance will be considered for my case?

It depends on the type of accident you were involved in. A motor vehicle/car insurance policy will likely apply for car accident cases, but slip and fall cases may involve a business liability or homeowner’s insurance policy. Your personal healthcare policy may also be used to cover some losses and damages, and workplace compensation policies, uninsured driver policies, rideshare driver coverage, and other accident-specific policies can also apply, based on how and where you were injured.

Why should I hire a lawyer?

You are better off fighting your case against the legal teams of the at-fault party’s insurer (or your own insurer, if applicable) with an experienced personal injury lawyer on your side than you are fighting your case on your own. You may face intimidation, lowball offers, or an outright denial of your claim if you file on your own, but these are issues that a qualified Passaic personal injury lawyer can handle for you so that you can focus on getting better. Contact our Passaic NJ accident attorneys today for a free case evaluation and to learn more about how we can help you get the compensation you are rightfully owed.
