New Jersey Accident Attorneys
The personal injury attorneys at Starr, Gern, Davison & Rubin, P.C., have successfully litigated thousands of cases on behalf of clients who came to us for help. Our lawyers have a record of accomplishment in all areas of personal injury law, including medical malpractice, construction site accidents, products liability as well as simple negligence cases ranging from truck and car accidents, workplace accidents and slip and fall accidents.
Our lawyers handle cases of varying degrees of complexity. Some of our clients are involved in minor accidents and suffer non-catastrophic injuries with minimum time lost from work. Other clients come to us with more serious problems: an ironworker suddenly unable to support his family due to multiple injuries suffered in a fall; parents of an infant suffering from traumatic birth injuries; or a real estate developer suffering a career-ending spinal cord injury. However serious the accident and resulting injuries, we seek full compensation and damages for medical bills, lost income, pain and suffering, and lack of access to medical care because of insurance coverage battles with health, auto insurance or workers' compensation carriers.
Client-Focused Advocacy in All Personal Injury Matters
All of our cases are handled with the same level of professionalism. All of our clients are kept informed; we return telephone calls and e-mails the same day and we copy our clients on all correspondence. We try to resolve disputes without time-consuming litigation whenever possible so that our clients can get back on their feet as quickly as possible. If we cannot resolve a case and litigation is necessary, our attorneys have access to an extensive network of experts who assist us with litigation. We also use the latest trial presentation equipment to communicate with juries effectively. Insurance carriers know that we have the ability and resources to litigate any case to verdict and they are more likely to offer a better settlement as a result.
