Personal Injury Attorney Luis L. Haquia Esq.
New Jersey Personal Injury Lawyer
Certified Civil Trial Attorney
Luis L. Haquia, Esq. is a Partner at Davis, Saperstein & Salomon, P.C., a New Jersey personal injury law firm representing accident victims in serious injury cases throughout New Jersey and New York. He is certified by the Supreme Court of New Jersey as a Civil Trial Attorney, a distinction held by less than two percent of New Jersey attorneys and has spent more than 30 years with the firm handling personal injury and trial law matters. Luis Haquia has also been selected to Super Lawyers five times, including recognition for both the 2025 and 2026 terms.
Based with the firm in Teaneck, NJ, Luis Haquia represents injured clients throughout New Jersey, including Bergen County, Hudson County, Essex County, Passaic County, and surrounding communities, as well as clients in New York and New York City. Fluent in English and Spanish, he also represents Spanish-speaking injury clients and has deep ties to Northern New Jersey’s Latino community, including West New York, New Jersey, where he grew up.
Luis Haquia handles car accidents, pedestrian accidents, trucking accidents, premises liability cases, construction and workplace-related accidents, traumatic brain injury claims, and other serious injury cases. He has appeared in courts across New Jersey and New York, including every New York City borough and nearly every New Jersey county.
Luis Haquia has built his reputation through courtroom experience, strong negotiation skills, and results in high-value personal injury cases. Along with Davis, Saperstein & Salomon, P.C.s, founding Partner, Marc C. Saperstein, Esq., Haquia obtained a $20 million jury verdict in New York for an injured worker who fell through a skylight while working on a roof. He has also successfully tried complex brain injury cases in both New Jersey and New York and was part of a major case against New York’s MTA regarding a subway incident that resulted in the loss of the client’s legs.
Other major matters in Luis’s career include multimillion-dollar recoveries for pedestrians, motor vehicle accident victims, and clients whose cases required careful investigation, expert testimony, and skilled negotiation. In one pedestrian knockdown case in North Bergen, New Jersey, Haquia helped secure a $5.1 million settlement for a client who suffered serious injuries after being struck while crossing the street. His detailed investigation, trial preparation, and presentation of the facts helped prove the full impact of the crash and maximize the client’s recovery. In another seven-figure trucking accident case handled with Marc C. Saperstein, Esq., Luis’s cross-examination helped establish that the injured client was not responsible for the crash, leading to a $2.2 million settlement.
Luis Haquia earned his B.A. in Criminal Justice from Seton Hall University and his law degree from Rutgers Law School. He is admitted to practice in the state courts of New Jersey and New York, as well as the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey and the Southern and Eastern Districts of New York.
Before representing injured clients, Luis Haquia began his legal career in defense law. His experience gave him unique insight into how insurance companies and defense attorneys evaluate claims, negotiate settlements, and defend serious injury lawsuits. Today, he uses that knowledge to help accident victims stand up to insurance companies and large defendants.
Luis Haquia has also been recognized by Spanish-language publications for his work and leadership, including being named “Man of the Year” by La Tribuna for his example of accomplishment and leadership in the Cuban-American community. A native of Cuba who grew up in West New York, Luis Haquia understands the importance of making clients feel heard, respected, and fully represented during a difficult time. Many clients know him as their “abogado,” and his ability to speak directly with clients in both English and Spanish helps him explain the legal process clearly and build trust from the start.

Settlements are often limited by the total available insurance coverage. Insurance company adjusters and their lawyers often defend cases by claiming that a client was negligent and could have avoided being injured by arguing comparative negligence on the part of an injured client; or that their pain and suffering was caused by pre-existing medical conditions or prior injuries. Despite those defenses, the Davis, Saperstein & Salomon, PC lawyers won their client’s injury claim. Each client’s case is unique. Results may differ because of different facts, circumstances and available insurance coverage.
