Common Personal Injury Cases in Edison

Slip and Fall Accidents

Edison’s shopping centers, including the 1.2 million square foot Menlo Park Mall and the numerous retail plazas along Route 1, see thousands of visitors daily. Property owners have a duty to maintain safe conditions, but wet floors, uneven surfaces, poor lighting, and inadequate snow and ice removal lead to serious injuries. We hold negligent property owners accountable.

Medical Malpractice

JFK University Medical Center handles over 60,000 emergency visits and 20,000 hospital admissions annually. While most care is excellent, medical errors happen—surgical mistakes, misdiagnoses, medication errors, and birth injuries. When healthcare providers fail to meet the standard of care, we fight for injured patients and their families.

Retail and Restaurant Injuries

From the big-box stores along Route 1 to the diverse restaurants along Oak Tree Road, Edison’s commercial establishments must maintain safe conditions. Falling merchandise, hot spill burns, food poisoning, and other retail injuries entitle victims to compensation.

Pedestrian and Parking Lot Accidents

Edison’s busy shopping centers and commercial areas create dangerous conditions for pedestrians. We represent people struck by vehicles in parking lots, crosswalks, and while walking near Route 1 businesses.

Construction Site Injuries to Third Parties

With Edison’s ongoing residential and commercial development, construction zones throughout the township create hazards. If you were injured by falling debris, tripped on construction materials, or were hurt in a construction-related accident as a non-worker, you may have a personal injury claim.

Understanding Personal Injury Claims in New Jersey

Proving Negligence

To recover compensation in a personal injury case, we must prove:

1. Duty of Care: The defendant owed you a duty to act reasonably
2. Breach: They failed to meet that duty
3. Causation: Their breach caused your injury
4. Damages: You suffered actual harm

Our attorneys thoroughly investigate each case, gathering evidence, consulting experts, and building the strongest possible claim.

• Medical Expenses: Past and future medical bills, including treatment at JFK Medical Center or other facilities

• Pain and Suffering: Compensation for physical pain and emotional distress
• Property Damage: Repair or replacement of damaged property
• Loss of Enjoyment: Compensation when injuries prevent you from activities you once enjoyed
• Permanent Disability: Additional damages for lasting impairment

New Jersey’s Statute of Limitations

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in New Jersey? A: Generally, you have two years from the date of your injury to file a lawsuit. However, some cases have shorter deadlines, so contact an attorney promptly.

Q: What if I was partially at fault for my accident? A: New Jersey follows a “modified comparative negligence” rule. You can still recover damages as long as you were less than 50% at fault, though your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault.

Q: How much is my personal injury case worth? A: Every case is different. Factors include the severity of your injuries, your medical bills, lost income, pain and suffering, and the strength of evidence proving negligence. We’ll evaluate your case during a free consultation.

Q: Should I accept the insurance company’s settlement offer? A: Don’t accept any offer without consulting an attorney first. Initial offers are often far below what your case is worth. We negotiate aggressively to maximize your compensation.

Q: Do I need a lawyer for a personal injury case? A: While not required, statistics show that injury victims with attorneys typically recover significantly more than those without legal representation—even after attorney fees.

Q: What if I was injured on someone else’s property in Edison? A: Property owners in New Jersey have a duty to maintain safe conditions. If a hazardous condition caused your injury—wet floor, broken stairs, inadequate security—you may have a premises liability claim.
