New Jersey Car Accident Lawyer
Car accidents can happen to anyone – even safe drivers. Forbes reports that the average driver should expect to get involved in three to four crashes over the course of a lifetime. The reality is that many dangerous drivers are on the road, and you can’t control what they do.
However, if a negligent driver recently caused an accident that injured you or a loved one, you can control what you do next. You can and should consult with a New Jersey car accident attorney right away and learn about your rights and options. You may be eligible to file a Personal Injury Protection (PIP) claim as well as a claim against the other driver.
With nearly four decades of experience with handling auto accident cases throughout New Jersey and a record that includes more than $400 million recovered on behalf of our clients, the lawyers of Davis, Saperstein & Salomon, P.C. will know how to explore all sources of compensation available to you.

Why Should You Hire a Lawyer After a Car Accident in New Jersey?
While you may be able to handle a New Jersey car accident injury claim on your own in some very simple personal injury cases, working with a lawyer will usually be in your best interest. This is especially true if your crash resulted in serious personal injury or the loss of a loved one.
Insurance companies know what is at stake in auto accidents. They will aggressively protect their profits. Your lawyer, on the other hand, will protect you and seek the maximum amount for you. As a study by the Insurance Research Council found, car accident victims with legal representation typically collect insurance payouts that are, on average, 3.5 times higher than the payouts that people without a lawyer collect.
Throughout your case, an experienced auto accident lawyer from Davis, Saperstein & Salomon, P.C., will provide many valuable services to you such as:
Conduct a thorough investigation of your car crash.
You should never rely on the police report or an insurance company’s findings. Your car accident attorney can conduct an independent investigation that gets the facts straight. The investigation can include collecting evidence from the scene, interviewing witnesses and consulting experts in accident reconstruction.
Assessing your physical, emotional and financial harm.
Your auto accident lawyer will review your medical records, consult with medical and life care-planning experts and take many other steps to determine the full extent of your damages.
Reviewing your New Jersey accident case with you.
You deserve a frank discussion about the options available to you and the potential value of your case. You also should know what steps will be involved in pursuing your options as well as how long your case may take to resolve. Your lawyer from Davis, Saperstein & Salomon, P.C., will make communication with you a top priority.
Filing all necessary accident reports and paperwork.
A car accident requires you to file and serve numerous documents with insurance companies, courts and other lawyers. Your attorney will make sure to properly and timely file all paperwork involved in your case.
Preparing your accident case for settlement.
At Davis, Saperstein & Salomon, P.C., we prepare cases for success at trial. This approach allows our lawyers to resolve many car accident claims through settlements.
Taking your case to trial.
Insurance companies often challenge liability or the amount of damages that a car accident victim seeks in a claim. If this occurs in your case, we will be ready to fight in court for the compensation that you and your family deserve.
In addition to these services, a car accident attorney from Davis, Saperstein & Salomon, P.C., can assist you if you encounter problems with your motor vehicle repair or replacement or with your medical treatment. You can also expect to receive regular updates about your case and prompt responses to your questions.
Our accident attorneys represent personal injury victims and their families in New Jersey on a contingency fee basis. So, you will pay no legal fees unless we obtain a verdict or settlement for you.
