Pennsylvania and New Jersey premises liability laws vary somewhat but both jurisdictions allow injury victims to seek compensation for lost wages, medical bills and pain and suffering. Pennsylvania and New Jersey have a two year time limit to file an action with the proper court. These laws are knows as statutes of limitation. Each state also follows a “comparative negligence” standard on assessing fault for the fall. An injury victim must be 50% or less at fault to recover an award of monetary damages.

Dog Bite Cases

Dog bites are one of the worst accidents and they often strike without warning throughout Pennsylvania and New Jersey. A large dog can maul a face and crush limbs. Smaller dogs can also cause significant harm resulting in permanent scarring. Hiring an experienced New Jersey or Pennsylvania Dog Bite Lawyer will help you recover an award of monetary compensation.

It can take months or even years to try or settle a dog bite case. During that time, your injuries will heal so it is important to document the ongoing healing process with frequent photographs. You should include photos of the lacerations before and after stitches, if possible. It can take six months to a year to know what the final scarring will look like.

You should also photograph the scene of the dog bite, the dog and any witnesses. If you or a loved one have been bitten by a dog in Pennsylvania or New Jersey, call or text me at 609-277-3166 or 215-546-3166. Don’t wait. Crucial evidence that could help prove your case can be lost or destroyed quickly.

Truck Accidents

Big vehicles such as tractor trailers, box trucks, 18 wheelers, dump trucks or big rigs cause big injuries. Because of the significant differences in size and weight between a commercial truck and a passenger type vehicle such as a sedan, SUV or pickup, the smaller vehicle typically sustains significant structural damage from the impact. This can lead to serious bodily injury or even wrongful death. If you or a family member have been in a Pennsylvania or New Jersey truck accident, or reside in these states with involvement in a truck accident happening in any other state, call or text me at 215-546-3166 or 609-277-3166 for a Free Consultation.

Whiplash is the most common injury from car accidents; however, it can render you disabled and put you in severe pain. Whiplash should not be dismissed as insignificant. Further, many car accidents can be complex when assessing fault. Pennsylvania and New Jersey car accident claims often require the assistance of experts such as accident re-constructionists and engineers. That’s why it is important to investigate a case quickly. This will avoid critical evidence from being lost or destroyed. Fortunately, I know how to make this process work to your advantage against the big insurance companies and corporations fighting to undermine the rights of New Jersey and Pennsylvania car accident victims.

Pedestrian Accidents

While you are walking or jogging, you deserve to be safe. Unfortunately, New Jersey and Pennsylvania motorists often drive in a reckless or negligent manner. This could be from rushing or being distracted by a cell phone. If you or a loved one are injured as a pedestrian, contact me, Joseph Monaco, to learn how a New Jersey and Pennsylvania pedestrian accident lawyer can protect your rights.

As a pedestrian, you have certain rights such as vehicles having to stop or yield to you in crosswalk. However, it is always best to pay attention to your surroundings and avoid looking down at your cell phone while walking. A 2013 study revealed that every two hours a pedestrian is killed and that every eight minutes a pedestrian is injured in a crash.

Fortunately, negligent and reckless New Jersey and Pennsylvania motorists are held accountable under the law. If you hire me, I will fight to get you a maximum award of monetary compensation so you can move forward with your life. Don’t be fooled by the big insurance companies. Their goal is to accuse you of fault and pay out as little as possible for your injuries including your lost wages and medical bills.

Here is a simple guide to safe practices for New Jersey and Pennsylvania pedestrians:

• Pay attention when walking close to motor vehicles especially when cutting though and crossing paths in parking lots
• Only cross the street at a crosswalk. Do not jaywalk or cross the middle of the street from between two parked cars
• Pay attention to traffic signals when crossing at an intersection
• Make sure vehicles traveling in each direction are going to stop before you begin crossing along a crosswalk. Often, one vehicle will stop while the other keeps going past the crosswalk
• Wear reflective clothing when walking at night
