Compensation Available to Injury Victims in Ewing Township

Compensation Available to Injury Victims in Hamilton Township

In Hamilton Township, injury victims have the right to seek compensation for both financial losses and the impact the injury has had on daily life. The law recognizes two main types of damages: economic and non-economic.

Economic Damages

These are the measurable financial losses tied directly to the injury:

Medical bills (past and future)
Lost income or wages
Reduced earning capacity
Ongoing rehabilitation or therapy
Property damage (if applicable)

Non-Economic Damages

These cover the personal, harder-to-quantify effects of the injury:

Physical pain and discomfort
Emotional distress or mental anguish
Loss of enjoyment of life
Disfigurement or scarring
Loss of companionship in serious cases

Each case is different. What matters is proving how the injury disrupted your life, both financially and personally. A lawyer can help make sure everything is fully documented.

Why You Need a Personal Injury Lawyer

After a serious injury, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed—especially when insurance companies start calling.

An experienced personal injury lawyer can step in to protect your rights, manage communication with insurers, and make sure no deadlines are missed. Instead of dealing with paperwork and claims alone, your lawyer gathers records, consults experts, and builds a strong case based on facts. This helps you avoid low settlement offers that don’t reflect the full impact of your injury.

A lawyer also understands how to document long-term effects like pain, missed work, or future medical care. When your focus needs to be on recovery, a trusted advocate can make sure nothing gets overlooked and that you’re treated fairly every step of the way.

Who Can Be Held Liable for Injuries?

Liability depends on where and how the injury happened. Several parties may be legally responsible depending on the circumstances.

Property Owners – If you were hurt on someone else’s property due to unsafe conditions, the owner may be liable for failing to fix hazards or provide warnings.
Drivers and Vehicle Owners – In motor vehicle accidents, the at-fault driver—and sometimes their employer, if they were working—can be held accountable for injuries.
Employers and Contractors – In workplace accidents, liability may rest with an employer, contractor, or property manager, depending on who controlled the worksite or caused the danger.
Product Manufacturers – If a defective product caused your injury, the manufacturer or seller may be liable for putting unsafe goods into the marketplace.

An experienced lawyer can help sort through who may be held responsible.

Common Types of Injuries

Injuries from accidents can range from minor to life-changing. Many victims experience more than one type of harm, both physical and emotional, after a serious incident:

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

Filing A Personal Injury Claim in Ewing Township

Frequently Asked Questions

If you were injured and aren’t sure what to expect, you’re not alone. Here are some of the questions people ask us most often:

How much is my personal injury case worth?

The value depends on your medical bills, lost income, pain, and other damages. Every case is different and must be evaluated individually.

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

New Jersey law gives you two years from the date of injury to file a lawsuit in most personal injury cases.

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

Most personal injury lawyers work on contingency, meaning you pay nothing upfront and only owe legal fees if your case results in compensation.

What should I say if an insurance adjuster contacts me?

Stick to the basic facts and avoid giving a recorded statement. It’s best to speak with a lawyer before dealing with insurance companies.

What if I am partially at fault for the accident?

You can still recover compensation in New Jersey, but your percentage of fault will reduce the amount you’re entitled to receive.

Do all personal injury cases go to trial?

No, most settle outside of court. However, your lawyer should be ready to go to trial if that’s what’s needed to get fair results.

Is there a personal injury attorney near me in Hamilton Township?

Yes. Pellettieri Rabstein & Altman has experienced personal injury attorneys who serve clients throughout Hamilton Township and the surrounding areas.
