Do I Have to Hire a New Jersey Personal Injury Attorney?

Under New Jersey law, you are not required to hire a personal injury lawyer to represent you, but doing so can significantly increase your chances of recovering the compensation you need and deserve to cover the cost of your medical bills, pain and suffering, lost wages, and more.

While it’s possible for you to handle a simple accident claim on your own, if your case involves the following issues, you should contact a personal injury lawyer in New Jersey at Parker Waichman LLP, as soon as possible:

  • You were injured
  • Liability is disputed
  • Multiple parties are involved
  • Your insurance claim is denied
  • The insurance company is refusing to offer a fair settlement amount
  • You want to pursue compensation in court due to serious injuries
