Commercial flights, regional jets, helicopters, and small private planes transport millions of travelers each year through Newark Liberty, Trenton–Mercer, Atlantic City, Teterboro, and dozens of general aviation airports across New Jersey. The vast majority of these flights are routine and uneventful. However, when an aviation incident occurs – whether an in-flight injury, severe turbulence, runway mishap, or crash – the consequences can be severe and life-altering. Injuries resulting from aviation accidents often involve multiple layers of responsibility. Depending on the circumstances, liability may rest with the airline, the aircraft manufacturer, maintenance providers, charter operators, airport authorities, or other parties involved in flight operations and safety. Knowing your rights and finding an experienced NJ personal injury lawyer can be an important first step in protecting your health, understanding your legal options, and seeking fair compensation after an aviation accident.

New Jersey has some amazing amusement parks, boardwalk attractions, county fairs, town festivals, pop-up “carnival” weekends, and seasonal entertainment events – and they are supposed to be safe.

Navigating the fallout from an injury sustained at one of these properties or events can be overwhelming. Discussing your option with a New Jersey amusement park injury lawyer that specializes in these types of settlements can mean the difference between getting a satisfactory and timely outcome or waiting for years in legal limbo.

A construction accident can cause serious or catastrophic injuries that disrupt the worker’s family and work life significantly. Workers’ compensation laws usually provide coverage for medical and wage losses, but may not compensate for all of an injured worker’s losses. In some cases, the injured worker may be able to pursue a legal action against a third party (a person or company other than the worker’s employer) to recover compensation for their injuries. Unfortunately, construction accidents caused by improper safety plans, inadequate fencing, and negligent operation of construction vehicles are all too common. These accidents affect the public at large and can cause severe and traumatic injuries.

If you or your child were injured by a dog, our experienced attorneys at Injury Lawyers of NJ help you obtain the recovery you deserve to help compensate you for your pain and suffering, medical bills, and lost wages caused by your injuries. Dog bite lawyer team Sheri Breen and Natalie Zammitti Shaw apply more than 50 years of combined personal injury experience to those who have been injured throughout New Jersey by dog bites and offer clients extraordinary personal attention throughout the entire legal process. In New Jersey a specific statute, N.J.S.A. 4:19-16, establishes strict liability of dog owners for dog bites. Essentially, under this law, the dog’s owner is liable for all damages no matter if the dog has previously bitten someone or if the owner was not previously aware of the dog’s propensity to bite. The bite can occur on public or private property, however it does not apply if you are trespassing on the property at the time of the bite. If the dog bite law does not apply to the situation, established common law principles provide a basis for imposing liability and recovering compensation, including when the negligence of a dog owner or the another person in charge of the dog causes the injuries. In certain cases, the dog owner’s landlord can also be held liable for the dog bite. No matter which laws apply to the circumstances, our dog bite attorney team has the experience, knowledge, and skills to pursue justice and get the best possible recovery for the injured victim.

But when alcohol or drugs are irresponsibly served – especially to minors or visibly intoxicated guests – the consequences can be devastating.
