Do I Need An Injury Lawyer?
After an accident it can be easy to think that an insurance company will come through for you, but this is rarely the case. Contrary to what they promise, insurance companies are usually on their own side instead of yours. At heart, insurance companies are a business first and foremost. This means they often care more about their bottom line than ensuring you get the proper compensation you deserve after an accident. A skilled personal injury attorney can you recover the compensation you deserve. Additionally, a lawyer can:
- Navigate you through the legal process to ensure all the correct procedures are followed
- Thoroughly investigate your claim so no pertinent information is lost
- Help determine who is liable for your injuries
- Gather evidence when relevant to support your claim
- Negotiate with the insurance companies on your behalf
- Litigate the claim, from Complaint to Jury Verdict
Unlike insurance companies, Levinson Axelrod, P.A will act as true advocates on your side. We are committed to working for your best interest every step of the claims process, and we always fight for maximum compensation. Our firm knows that after suffering a serious injury, recovering proper compensation is a big step in getting your life back on track. Not only is our experienced firm committed to you, but we have also recovered over $1 billion and have been ranked by U.S. News on their “Best Law Firms” list.

What Should I Do After I Have Been Injured?
While every personal injury case is unique, there are certain factors that remain consistent. For example, you should always make sure to see a medical professional (preferably a different one in cases of medical negligence) to get the care and treatment you need. After that, make sure you record and document everything as best as possible.
Were you hurt in a car accident? Take pictures of the scene of the collision and get the contact information of witnesses. Was your loved one neglected in a nursing home? Request the reports regarding their care so that you can keep a record of them. Were you hurt on the job? Report it to your employer as soon as possible to protect the validity of your claim.
Keeping track of important information related to your case and making sure you see a doctor can all be crucial in ensuring you can bring a valid claim forward in the future. Most importantly, you should discuss your case with a NJ personal injury attorney if you think your injuries were caused by negligence or malicious actions.

How Do Personal Injury Attorneys Charge?The Supreme Court of New Jersey has set a fee schedule for attorneys who represent clients with personal injury cases. The fee is contingent upon winning the case through settlement or jury verdict. Therefore, if the case is unsuccessful, there is no fee. If the case is successful, the attorney will charge a 33% fee after deducting litigation expenses from the settlement amount. Fees for infants and incompetents are generally 25%, not 33%.
-
How Do I Decide Which Lawyer I Should Hire?Personal injury litigation is complicated. You should look for a personal injury lawyer who has been certified by the Supreme Court of the State of New Jersey as a Certified Civil Trial Attorney. Levinson Axelrod, P.A. is fortunate to have a Certified Civil Trial Attorney at each of our eight neighborhood offices.

Can You Tell Me How Much Is My Case Worth?
Since all personal injury cases are different, telling you the exact worth of your case is nearly impossible. You should be very wary if a legal professional guarantees you any specific amount of compensation prior to accepting your case. At our firm, we look at a number of different factors to provide you with an idea of the potential value of your case.
These include the amount of medical expenses caused by the defendant's actions, pain and suffering, lost wages and earning potential, the cost of any future medical or related expenses, loss of consortium, an even punitive damages in extreme cases. While we cannot give you a specific dollar amount, we can give you an estimate of what your case could possibly be worth if it were to go to trial or be settled out of court. At the end of the day, the final amount will have to be decided by a jury or through a settlement.
-
How Do I Find Out If I Have a Case?All you have to do is call us at one of our eight neighborhood offices and speak with one of our NJ personal injury attorneys.

Making a Claim Is Easy
Proving It Is What Takes Skill & Experience
Victims injured by negligence have the right to seek a financial recovery by bringing a personal injury claim against at-fault parties. While the right to compensation is critical to helping victims recover for their pain and suffering, medical bills, and other losses, there is no guarantee compensation will be awarded or that victims will receive the recovery they deserve.
Because insurance companies are corporations that value profits more than people, prevailing in a claim demands the skill, insight, and experience of proven advocates.
Our New Jersey injury attorneys have litigated against some of the nation’s largest insurers and have been recognized for their success by The Best Lawyers in America, Super Lawyers, and other leading legal organizations.
At Levinson Axelrod, P.A., we are trusted by clients and colleagues across New Jersey because we have the tools to help victims:
- Investigate and consult experts to build the strongest possible case.
- Communicate with insurers while working to negotiate fair settlements.
- Take cases to trial if defendants refuse to pay victims what they deserve.
Your Neighbors, Your Lawyers.
Levinson Axelrod, P.A. has recovered over $350 million for injury victims in the last 5 years and more than $1 billion in our firm’s history. We have honed our skills through thousands of cases and we are available to discuss your case and how we may be able to help you.
