Personal injury law in any state, is complex.  It also can be very “state specific.”  Attorney John J. Pisano has over thirty years collective experience in this type of law within Union County, NJ, and has successfully arbitrated and litigated large settlements.  Personal injury law can be settled through arbitration or in front of a judge generally, with arbitration usually the preferred method of settlement.  Most cases involve a plaintiff who has suffered a tragic injury either mental or physical as a result of negligence, or an adverse action on the part of the named defendant.  The defendant is generally an insurance company who is representing the actual perpetrator of said neglect and/or injury. 

Personal injury claims can include either intentional or accidental misconduct.

They can include car accident claims, work related claims, or anywhere a plaintiff suffers a mishap due to negligence or misconduct.  The claims filed against a defendant usually involve some type of monetary compensation for pain and suffering, both mental and physical, as well as possibly diminished life quality, if the injury is severe enough.  A good personal injury attorney takes into consideration not just the impact of the injury in the present, but also seeks to project the future impacts, as these might not present themselves immediately, but in years to come.  Both sides of the issue, defendant and plaintiff also need time to consult with their own medical experts and this must be figured into the overall time it will take to file a claim. 

Personal Injury Law in Union County and New Jersey has specific statutes.

The most important statute that a great personal injury lawyer in Union County, NJ must be aware of is the statute of limitations.  A plaintiff only has two years to file a claim, otherwise the claim is useless.  Since personal injury suits are time consuming, a lawyer should be consulted as soon as an individual even believes they might have suffered an injury.  Although some injuries are apparent, others are not, such as back injuries, or spinal injuries.  There are two types of awards, punitive and compensatory.

Any individual that suspects they have a claim should call a personal injury lawyer immediately.

Even if hospitalized, an attorney should be contacted as many will travel to a hospital or home for consultations if injuries are so severe that an individual cannot make an office visit immediately.  Time is always of importance in these types of cases.  In addition to the statute of limitations, New Jersey, and Union County, does also include the comparative fault designation statute where more than one defendant is involved in the injury.  This type of determination can take a great deal of time for a successful case presentation.  There also can be a cap on amounts that are recoverable. 

The skill of a personal injury lawyer in Union County is paramount.

There are times when a personal injury case, because of the presence of actual intent to harm, might render criminal charges against a defendant also.  A good personal injury attorney like Attorney Pisano is needed in these complex cases.  Since personal injuries can last a lifetime and cause a lifetime of suffering, justice should always be served as well as it can be.  Time is always of the essence, and as soon as an injury occurs or is suspected, a personal injury attorney needs to be called.
