Handling Personal Injury Cases In Woodland Park

To successfully file a personal injury claim, you must determine how your accident occurred and who, if anyone, was at fault for causing the accident. You must also gather evidence and quantify your damages, after which you should determine which insurance policies apply to your case – and to what limits. Finally, you must file your claim with the relevant insurers and file any additional paperwork with the relevant authorities.

A dedicated Woodland Park personal injury lawyer from our firm can help with a wide range of personal injury cases, including the following:

  • Woodland Park slip and fall accidents, which often occur in homes, workplaces, public spaces, and places of work or business such as retail outlets, hospitals, and nursing homes.
  • Woodland Park car accidents, including truck, passenger car, motorcycle, bicycle, and pedestrian accidents.
  • Woodland Park workplace accidents such as falls, getting caught under, in, or in-between machinery or objects, as well as electrocutions, all of which are some of the leading causes of death and injury in workplaces in the United States.
  • Woodland Park nursing home accidents and injuries such as bedsores, choking, slips and falls, infections, malnutrition, dehydration, and hypothermia.
  • Woodland Park medical malpractice that results from healthcare worker mistakes, surgical errors, testing errors, drug dosage errors, administrative mix-ups, and device usage errors.

A Woodland Park Personal Injury Lawyer With The Epstein Law Firm Will Quantify Your Damages And File Your Claim

Gathering evidence and identifying the at-fault party responsible for your accident is only half the battle. The other half is quantifying your damages and negotiating with the liable insurer toward the full and fair settlement you are entitled to by law.

Our Woodland Park personal injury team can help you quantify your damages and will vigorously negotiate and argue your case with the relevant insurers for compensation for:

  • Medical treatment expenses, including surgery costs, rehabilitation, medicine costs, ambulance fees, doctor’s visits, and assistive device expenses.
  • Income lost due to time spent away from work recovering or an inability to perform tasks you used to perform before your accident.
  • Property and vehicle damage, including towing expenses.
  • Funeral, burial, and wrongful death compensation.

Any other losses, damages, or expenses that can be connected to your accident can also be included in your claim.

Contact A Top-Rated Woodland Park Personal Injury Lawyer Today To File a Claim

New Jersey is a no-fault state, so in most cases, you must file a personal injury claim with your insurer, but in some cases, you can file a claim with the insurer of an at-fault party whose actions, errors, or omissions caused you harm. For example, an employer may be liable for paying you from their workers’ compensation policy if you sustained a work-related injury, and an animal owner is usually liable for attacks perpetrated by their pet, as long as the animal was unprovoked. For animal attack cases, you can seek compensation from the personal liability or home insurance policy of the animal owner, and your personal healthcare coverage may also apply.

Contact The Epstein Law Firm, P.A. today to learn more about the laws that apply to your case and how a trusted Woodland Park personal injury lawyer from our firm can help you seek the compensation you deserve.

About Woodland Park, NJ

Woodland Park is located in Passaic County, New Jersey. It has a population of approximately 12,000. The town was formerly known as West Paterson, but the name was changed after a referendum was held in 2008 to change the name. The new initials of the town are still W.P. and are a reference to the community’s wooded areas. The name change was an attempt to separate Woodland Park from nearby urban Paterson, New Jersey, which is notorious for urban blight, crime, and drug addiction.

Do not delay and contact an attorney to help with your case. Do not accept any offers or even speak to any insurance agents about your case until you have discussed your case with an experienced personal injury lawyer. You may unwittingly accept a lowball offer, and if your medical bills or other accident-related losses end up being higher than expected, you will likely have to pay those outlays out-of-pocket. The best strategy for winning your personal injury claim is to have an experienced accident attorney who is familiar with insurance company tactics and personal injury law to handle your case on your behalf.
