Serving Car Accident Victims Since 1972
In only a moment, a car crash can drastically impact your life. Working with a lawyer can help you take legal action and gain the resources you need to move forward with your life.
The Ferrara Law Firm, LLC, has handled many car accident claims since our firm's founding. With every motor vehicle accident, we investigate to determine the causes of the accident. Common causes of accidents are:
- Negligent drivers: People who drive while eating, talking or texting may be found in breach of their duty to drive safely. If you have been injured by a negligent driver, we will work to hold them accountable for your injuries.
- Hazardous roadways: Often, highways are not properly maintained or construction areas are not properly marked. If a road lacks proper guardrails, cars may veer off the road. If barriers and traffic direction signs are misplaced, cars may enter the wrong lane. When a roadway hazard causes an accident, municipalities, cities, counties, states and independent contractors can be held accountable.
- Drunk drivers: Under the law, dram shop liability is often recognized for commercial establishments. This liability also may extend to social hosts who serve their guests too many drinks before those guests get behind the wheel.
New Jersey Law on Car Accident Liability
In New Jersey, a personal injury victim may receive the full amount of damages from an individual or business determined to be 60% of more responsible for the total damages. If the individual or business is determined to be less than 60% responsible, the personal injury victim receives only the percentage of the damages directly attributable to that party.
The attorneys who handle you car accident case must take this into account when planning your trial strategy. If they do not, they could be depriving you of the recovery you depend on to move forward with your life. At the Ferrara Law Firm, LLC, we take an in-depth look at all facts and laws that could play a role in your case — making sure that every detail is covered.
