It’s Time to Act

New Jersey generally gives you two years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. That time can move quickly. Evidence can fade, witnesses may become harder to reach, and insurers often move fast to protect their interests. Acting early helps us secure the proof needed to build a strong case.

Once we represent you, all communication goes through us, which shields you from pressure or rushed settlement offers. If you are unsure how the deadline applies to your situation, we will explain everything during your free consultation.

Do I Have a Personal Injury Case?

Every successful personal injury claim must meet four key elements. During your consultation, we will review your situation to determine whether you have grounds for legal action. Here is what we look for:

Did the other party have a responsibility to protect your safety?

This is known as a duty of safety. It means someone was expected to act reasonably to avoid causing harm. Drivers, property owners, and others must take steps to protect the people around them.

Did the other party fail in that responsibility?

A case requires proof that this duty was breached. If a driver looks down at a text and rear ends your vehicle, that lapse in attention can qualify as a breach. Any action or inaction that increases the risk of harm may meet this standard.

Did that failure cause your injury?

You must show that the negligent act directly led to your injury. This is not always as simple as it seems. A collision might stem from a vehicle defect rather than a driver error. Our attorneys investigate every detail to determine what happened and who is responsible.

Did the incident result in measurable losses?

If you suffered losses you can quantify, such as medical bills, lost wages, or property damage, you may have a viable case. We work with medical and financial experts to determine the full value of your damages.

What If I Am Partially Responsible?

New Jersey follows the rule of comparative negligence, which means you can still recover damages as long as you were no more than 50 percent at fault. For example, if you are found 20 percent responsible, you can still collect compensation for the remaining 80 percent of your losses.

People in tight knit towns like Springfield and Kearny often try to be fair and honest about an incident, and sometimes they assume they share blame even when they do not. The safest choice is to discuss the details only with your attorney. We can determine whether you bear any responsibility and guide you with clarity and respect.

Why Not Just Deal With the Insurance Company Myself?

New Jersey personal injury law is complex, and navigating it alone can leave you with far less compensation than you deserve. Insurance companies prioritize their bottom line, not your recovery, and they often move quickly to limit payouts.

When you hire Dunne Law Firm, you gain advocates who understand these tactics and know how to counter them. Whether you are recovering at home in Springfield or commuting through nearby towns like Kearny or Union, you should not have to face insurance pressure alone. We make sure you are treated fairly from the start.

When you choose a personal injury lawyer at Dunne Law Firm, we will not let corporate greed stand between you and the payout you deserve.
