How to choose a lawyer in Jefferson

Choose a lawyer who focuses on personal injury rather than one who handles it occasionally. Ask about a real trial track record, since insurers treat cases differently when they know a lawyer will go to court. Look for knowledge of local courts and the insurers that handle claims in the area. Get clear contingency terms in writing, including the percentage and costs. Ask who personally handles your case day to day. Finally, check the lawyer's standing with the State Bar. Use these questions as you compare the local attorneys listed in our directory.

What to do after an accident in Jefferson

Get medical care first, even if you feel fine, since some injuries show up later. Document the scene and your injuries with photos and notes, and exchange and gather information from anyone involved. Avoid admitting fault or giving a recorded statement to an insurer. Keep records of treatment, bills, and time missed from work. Acting promptly matters in New Jersey because the filing deadline is 2 years from the date of injury. Once your health is addressed, you can use our directory to connect with a local attorney who can review your situation.
