Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Here are answers to some of the most common questions we receive from clients who have been injured in a slip and fall accident in Union County.
How much is my slip and fall case worth?
The value of your claim depends on the severity of your injury, medical costs, lost wages, pain and suffering, and future care needs. We’ll evaluate your case for free and give you an honest assessment.
What if I was partially at fault?
New Jersey follows a comparative negligence rule. You can still recover damages as long as you were less than 51% at fault. We’ll help build a strong case to minimize any alleged fault on your part.
How long do I have to file a claim?
In New Jersey, you generally have 2 years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury claim. However, some situations (like public property falls) have shorter deadlines. Don’t wait—call us as soon as possible.
Will insurance cover my injuries?
Often, yes—but insurance companies may try to deny or reduce your claim. We negotiate directly with insurers to protect your interests.
Do I need to go to court?
Most slip and fall cases settle out of court. But if we need to fight for you in front of a jury, we’re fully prepared to do so.
