No two injuries are alike, and no two people handle the same type of injury alike. What may take one person a month to heal from could take another a year. However, every injury is potentially serious, and some are simply devastating. The following are some injuries that we commonly see in our personal injury practice:

Catastrophic injuries are especially traumatic. They are in their own category because they cause such significant and permanent injury — such as brain damage, loss of limb, paralysis, or permanent disability.

Wrongful death is the most tragic thing that can happen to your loved one. If your loved one loses his or her life due to someone else’s negligence, look to our attorneys for help.

With two office locations to serve clients throughout New Jersey, our Edison office is located on Ethel Road, easily accessible from major highways like Routes 287, 18, and 27. Edison is about 40 miles from New York City and also accessible by NJ Transit Rail.

There are a few things you can do if you are in an accident in Middlesex County. If you or your loved one are seriously injured, our attorneys can come visit you in the hospital to talk about your case while the details of the accident are still fresh in your mind. However, your first priority should be receiving medical or police assistance. For police, fire, and medical emergencies, dial 911.

When you or a loved one are injured in an accident, you are likely looking for guidance on how to proceed. After making a consultation with an attorney, you can expect to discuss certain topics about your accident and injuries.

• For example, when did the injury occur or manifest? Here in New Jersey, there is a two-year statute of limitations on filing personal injury lawsuits. Speak to an attorney as soon as possible after your accident to avoid missing this deadline.
• What initial injuries did you suffer at the time of the accident? And further, do you have ongoing issues from the injury, like physical rehabilitation or permanent scarring and disability?
• How about medical bills? Keep track of your doctor visits, costs of prescription medication, treatments, and any physical therapy you receive as a result of your injuries.
• If you’ve had to take time off work to recover from your injuries, you’ve likely lost paychecks and wages. These lost finances can be included in your personal injury case.
• Many accident victims suffer emotional distress or post-traumatic stress disorder, experiencing anxiety, nightmares, or other pain and suffering. Advise your attorney if you are having any of these issues as well.
