Choosing the right personal injury attorney can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re dealing with injuries, medical treatment, and financial stress. Attorney Luis Martinez has answered thousands of questions from injured clients throughout his 34-year career. In a personal injury case, you may recover economic damages including past and future medical expenses, lost wages, reduced earning capacity, property damage, and out-of-pocket costs related to your injury. You may also recover non-economic damages for pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, permanent scarring or disfigurement, and loss of consortium. The specific compensation available depends on the severity of your injuries, how they impact your daily life, and the circumstances of your accident. New Jersey law does not cap damages in most personal injury cases, meaning you can pursue full compensation for all losses. Luis thoroughly documents every aspect of your damages to ensure insurance companies cannot minimize your claim. For specific guidance about your situation, call (201) 803-7139 to speak directly with Attorney Martinez.
To have a valid personal injury claim in New Jersey, you must prove four essential elements. First, the defendant owed you a duty of care—for example, all drivers have a duty to operate vehicles safely. Second, the defendant breached that duty through negligent or reckless conduct. Third, the breach directly caused your injuries. Fourth, you suffered actual damages including medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, or other losses. The strength of your case depends on available evidence proving these elements. This includes police reports, witness statements, medical records documenting your injuries, photographs of the accident scene and your injuries, and proof of financial losses. Some cases involve obvious liability—like a drunk driver running a red light—while others require extensive investigation to prove negligence. Attorney Luis Martinez evaluates every case individually during free consultations. His 34 years of experience mean he can quickly assess whether you have a strong claim worth pursuing. Don’t assume your case lacks merit without consulting an experienced attorney. Insurance companies often try to convince injured people they have no claim when they actually have valid cases. Call (201) 803-7139 for an honest evaluation from Attorney Martinez.
The actions you take immediately after an accident can significantly impact your ability to recover compensation. First and foremost, seek medical attention even if you feel fine—many serious injuries including traumatic brain injuries and internal bleeding don’t cause immediate symptoms. Getting prompt medical care creates documentation linking your injuries to the accident. Call police to report the accident and obtain an official report. Take photographs of the accident scene, property damage, hazardous conditions, and visible injuries. Get contact information from all witnesses—their statements may prove critical later. Report the accident to your insurance company but provide only basic facts without admitting fault or speculating about what happened. Avoid posting about the accident on social media, as insurance companies monitor posts and use them against you. Save all documentation including medical bills, pay stubs showing lost wages, and receipts for accident-related expenses. Contact Attorney Luis Martinez as soon as possible at (201) 803-7139. The sooner Luis can investigate your accident, interview witnesses, and preserve evidence, the stronger your case becomes. Unlike large firms where intake staff screen your call, when you contact our office, you speak with an experienced attorney who can provide immediate guidance about protecting your rights.
