Compensation Available to Injury Victims in Ewing Township

Compensation Available to Injury Victims in Camden

If you were injured because of someone else’s actions, you may be entitled to financial compensation. In New Jersey, personal injury victims can recover both economic and non-economic damages depending on the facts of the case.

Economic Damages

These are direct financial losses caused by your injury. They often include:

Medical bills (past and future)
Lost wages or reduced earning capacity
Costs of rehabilitation or therapy
Property damage (if applicable)

Non-Economic Damages

These are harder to measure but still valid. They cover the emotional and personal impact of the injury:

Pain and suffering
Emotional distress
Loss of enjoyment of life
Permanent disability or disfigurement

Every case is different. What you’re owed will depend on how the injury affected your life, work, and health. A lawyer can help you document these losses and fight for the full amount you deserve.

Why You Need a Personal Injury Lawyer

Hiring a personal injury lawyer isn’t just about paperwork—it’s about making sure you’re treated fairly from the start. When you’ve been hurt, the other side will likely have insurance adjusters, lawyers, and experts working against you, which means you need someone who knows how to push back. A good attorney can step in early, help protect your rights, and make sure nothing gets overlooked.

They’ll also gather the right records, calculate damages accurately, and negotiate with the insurance company so you don’t have to. If a fair deal isn’t offered, your lawyer can take the case to court. Most importantly, they’ll guide you through each step of the process so you can focus on your health and recovery instead of the legal stress.

Who Can Be Held Liable for Injuries?

When someone gets hurt because of another party’s carelessness, more than one person or entity may be responsible. Liability depends on how the injury happened and who failed to act with reasonable care.

Property Owners – If you were injured due to a dangerous condition on someone’s property—like a spill, broken stairs, or poor lighting—the owner or manager could be held liable.
Drivers and Employers – In car, truck, or pedestrian accidents, the at-fault driver is typically responsible. If that driver was working at the time, their employer might also be liable.
Product Manufacturers – When injuries are caused by a defective product, the manufacturer or distributor may be at fault for putting an unsafe item on the market.
Government Entities – In some cases, a public agency may be responsible, but strict notice rules apply—making early legal help essential.

Common Types of Injuries

Injuries from accidents can range from mild to life-changing. Some heal quickly, while others lead to long-term pain, mobility issues, or emotional harm. Below are some of the most common injuries we see in personal injury cases:

Broken Bones and Fractures
Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI)
Spinal Cord Injuries
Neck and Back Injuries
Soft Tissue Injuries
Burns and Scarring
Internal Organ Damage
Lacerations and Abrasions
Amputations
Psychological and Emotional Trauma

Frequently Asked Questions

If you’re dealing with an injury in Camden, you probably have a lot of questions about what comes next. Below are some answers to the most common ones we hear:

How much is my personal injury case worth?

It depends on your medical bills, lost wages, pain, and long-term effects. Every case is unique and must be reviewed by an attorney.

How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in Camden?

You typically have two years from the date of injury to file a lawsuit under New Jersey’s personal injury statute of limitations.

How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer in Camden?

Most personal injury lawyers work on contingency, meaning you only pay if your case wins or settles. There are no upfront legal fees.

What should I say if an insurance adjuster contacts me?

Stick to basic facts and avoid giving a recorded statement. Don’t discuss details or accept offers until you’ve spoken with a lawyer.

What if I am partially at fault for the accident?

You can still recover damages in New Jersey, but your compensation will be reduced based on your percentage of fault in the incident.

Do all personal injury cases go to trial?

No. Many cases settle out of court. However, your lawyer should be ready to take the case to trial if needed for fair results.

Is there a personal injury attorney near me in Camden?

Yes. Pellettieri Rabstein & Altman handles personal injury cases in Camden and nearby areas, offering experienced legal help close to home.
