Top-Rated Personal Injury Lawyers in New Jersey
Get the Compensation You Deserve
Car Accidents
The attorneys at Wolf Law represent clients who have been seriously injured in automobile accidents in New Jersey. We have over 50 years of experience and success in achieving the highest monetary awards for our auto accident clients. From the moment you contact us we will explain to you the process of getting your medical bills and damage to your vehicle paid for.
Once you retain us, we will immediately:
-
Obtain your police report and have an Investigator interview witnesses if appropriate and obtain surveillance or police videos of the accident if available.
-
Work with you to open a PIP (Personal Injury Protection) Claim to get your medical bills and lost wages paid and help you arrange for the appropriate medical treatment.
-
If the other driver was charged with a motor vehicle offense or consumed alcohol and was driving while intoxicated, we will obtain their records from the Police Department and the Municipal or Superior Court for use in your case.
-
Contact the driver and owner of the other vehicle and obtain their insurance information.
-
Contact the other insurance company and get them to open a claim.
-
Obtain your Emergency Room Records and other Hospital Records
-
Obtain Records and Reports if appropriate from your treating Doctors and other Health Care Providers.
-
If necessary, obtain your treatment records from prior injuries or medical conditions and have them analyzed by a physician to determine the extent of any aggravation of a pre-existing condition that you have suffered.
Once the appropriate point has been reached, we will:
-
Put together a comprehensive Settlement Package to send to the defendant’s insurance carrier and attempt to negotiation a favorable resolution of your case.
-
If your case cannot be settled because either the insurance carrier is unreasonable or full extent of your injuries cannot be medically determined within the statute of limitations, we will file a lawsuit in either State Superior Court or Federal Court to seek damages for your injuries.
-
We will do our best to settle your case during the litigation process, but, if it cannot be settled, we will try your case to completion in front of a Jury.
New Jersey law requires anyone who operates a motor vehicle to carry liability insurance, however, many drivers either violate the law and do not or carry insurance or carry a minimum policy without adequate coverage to compensate you for your injuries. Fortunately, both Uninsured Motorist Policies and Underinsured Motorist Policies are available in New Jersey and most other states. If you are covered under such a UM/UIM Policy, we can recover from your own insurance company the difference between what the available limits are on the other driver and the value of your injuries.
Wolf Law will provide you with a free consultation and if we believe you have a valid claim will accept your case on a contingency basis, meaning that you will only have to pay a fee if we are successful in obtaining a recovery for you. You may be entitled to damages including compensation for disability and impairment, pain and suffering, emotional distress, medical expenses, loss of income, and future losses.

Truck Accidents
Wolf Law has a more than 50-year history of representing both truckers injured on the job and drivers of automobiles injured in accidents with trucks. These include cases ranging from a pedestrian backed over and killed by a delivery truck in a Dunkin Donuts parking lot, to a driver of car crushed by a tractor-trailer on the Bayway Circle, to a truck driver who slipped on ice while making a delivery at a chemical plant, to a truck driver injured when climbing up to check the progress of an unload who fell when a handle pulled out of the trailer.
Truck drivers and the companies they work for have a duty to operate their vehicles in a safe and responsible manner. Likewise, drivers of automobiles have a duty to obey the rules of the road and be aware of the lack of maneuverability of a tractor-trailer, the restricted views, and the much longer stopping distances then that of an automobile. Unsafe driving, oversized loads, and various other practices can put the public and the truck operators in danger. Large and heavy trucks are easily affected by poor road and weather conditions that can lead to accidents. These trucks so far outweigh any size of passenger vehicle that when an accident occurs, the passengers in the car are frequently severely hurt.
Drivers and passengers involved in trucking accidents are entitled to have their medical bills paid, their lost wages compensated, collision damage repaired, and may pursue a recovery for physical injuries, disability and impairment, and pain and suffering. The truck driver may also be entitled to Workers Compensation Benefits for the injuries sustained.
With over 50 years of experience and success in achieving monetary awards for our accident clients, the attorneys at Wolf Law understand how to successfully represent trucking accident victims, whether they be the truck driver or the driver of the automobile.
Truck Under-Ride Accidents
Truck under-riding, ultimately, results from a combination of an unsafe truck and a driver error — whether that driver is the truck driver or car driver. Smaller cars are at a greater risk, but any car can be at risk due to the large ground clearance of tractor-trailers. When the car becomes trapped underneath the truck, the car is subjected to substantial force. This force, and the intrusion of the trailer bottom onto the roof of the car, can result in death by decapitation, or paralysis due to spinal injuries. Closed-head brain injuries, including concussion, are also possible as a result of these accidents, as are severe lacerations and broken bones.
Although long-standing federal law requires trucks to possess a rear guard, often a bar located directly below the trailer’s rear bumper, many trucks on the road are not in compliance with this basic safeguard. Furthermore, the trucking industry has shunned protection against side under-running accidents. The failure to protect against the possibility of under-running on both the back and sides leaves truck drivers and trucking companies liable for injuries and damages caused by these devastating accidents, whether by the driver or passengers in a car or by the truck driver injured when he is not able to maintain control of his vehicle after it being struck in this manner.
If you have been injured in a trucking accident, then you may have the right to claim damages from the party at fault. Contact us today at (732) 741-4448 for a free consultation.
