Our Whiplash Injury Lawyers Can Help You Calculate Your Damages

Medical expenses are usually the highest costs of auto collisions that result in a whiplash injury. As a type of injury that occurs when a vehicle’s force jolts the head back and then forward or vice versa, whiplash often injures the muscles, nerves, tendons, and discs in the neck. Some of the most common symptoms, according to Johns Hopkins Medicine, include:

• Neck pain or stiffness
• Shoulder pain
• Lower back pain
• Pain or numbness in your hands or arms
• Blurred vision
• Dizziness
• Irritability
• Ringing in your ears
• Drowsiness
• Insomnia
• Memory or concentration problems

Because many of these conditions may be long-term, your out-of-pocket costs can quickly add up. Our attorneys have won millions of dollars for our auto collision clients. For example, a 44-year-old delivery man received more than $5.4 million to pay for his personal injuries related to a vehicle accident. Other severe injury cases have resulted in settlements of over $11 million.

You Can Recover Non-Medical Costs of Your Newark Rear-end Crash

Hospital bills can be expensive, but they are not the only expense. After a wreck, it is common to also face money concerns with property damages and lost wages. When you cannot work and your vehicle is undrivable, it can make smooth healing difficult. Moreover, the entire experience can be extremely stressful. As such, you may also be able to receive damages for non-economic costs like mental anguish and pain and suffering.

We Will Fight for the Car Accident Compensation That You Deserve

When we investigate your injury claim, our attorneys will work tirelessly to identify the cause of injury as well as the liable parties. To do this, we will take a variety of steps while working on your case. Some of them might include:

• Documenting the accident scene
• Interviewing witnesses and securing statements
• Researching applicable laws and cases
• Consulting medical, auto, and financial professionals to provide expert witnesses

We Will Hold Reckless and Distracted Drivers Accountable

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), risky driving behaviors like texting, eating, tailgating, speeding, and driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol are the leading causes of most wrecks. When we work on your case to determine liability, we will look over all possibilities and rely on our experience to come to an answer. If it is possible to prove the other driver is liable, we will.

Filing a Lawsuit Can Help You Win a Fair Settlement

Although most whiplash injury cases do not require going to court, there are some situations when doing so is necessary to advocate for the best interest of victims. For example, if there is a dispute about liability or if the insurance company acts in bad faith, these can both be situations where a lawsuit may be necessary to win a fair settlement.

Nearing the Deadline for Filing Your Whiplash Injury Lawsuit

According to NJ Rev Stat § 2A:14-2, anyone who wants to file a car crash lawsuit in New Jersey must do so within two years. It is helpful to have our lawyers on your team to save time. We can manage your rear-end collision case by:

• Submitting all necessary documentation in a timely manner
• Negotiating the terms of your claim
• Representing you at all appointments with your insurer
• Communicating with your insurance company between appointments
• Taking your case to trial if the insurer refuses to offer a fair settlement

You May Assist the Process By Picking Up Your Newark Police Report

While working with an attorney is one beneficial way to handle your case, you may also help move things along by picking up your police report as soon as possible after your wreck. If the accident happened in Newark, you may go to the City Annex Building during normal business hours to pick it up three business days later, per the instructions from Newark Public Safety’s Police Division.

Our Newark Whiplash Injury Attorneys are Accessible

At Morelli Law Firm, our whiplash lawyers work on a contingency-fee basis. Under this sort of payment arrangement, attorneys only charge a fee if they win compensation on behalf of their clients. In other words, you do not need to pay anything upfront. Rather, you only pay after you receive money. This accessibility can eliminate additional financial strains that can disturb your healing.
