Howell Township Personal Injury Lawyers
Howell Township personal injury lawyers at Harrell Injury Law have extensive experience in advocating for individuals who have suffered injuries due to another party’s negligence. Common examples include being harmed by a drunk driver or a property owner who failed to maintain safe premises.

Importance of Hiring a Howell Township Personal Injury Attorney
If you have been injured in an accident through no fault of your own, you may be wondering if hiring an attorney is necessary. The fact of the matter is that an attorney can significantly impact the outcome of your case.
For one, a skilled personal injury lawyer will act as your advocate, ensuring that you are treated fairly and that your interests are prioritized. Insurance companies are notorious for using tactics to minimize payouts or deny claims altogether. They might offer quick settlements that are significantly lower than what you are entitled to, hoping you will accept due to immediate financial pressure.
They may also delay the processing of your claim, wear you down with endless paperwork, or even question the legitimacy of your injuries. We understand their tactics and know how to combat them. Our goal is to ensure you receive fair compensation that reflects the true value of your case.
Types of Compensation Available
If your injury resulted from someone else’s negligence, you have the right to seek compensation for various damages, including:
- Medical Expenses: You can seek compensation for all medical expenses related to your injury, including hospital bills, surgeries, medications, rehabilitation, and therapy.
- Lost Wages: Compensation for lost wages covers income you couldn’t earn due to the injury, including missed workdays, reduced work hours, or the inability to return to work temporarily or permanently.
- Pain and Suffering: Non-economic damages such as physical pain, emotional distress, and mental anguish may also be compensable. This includes the physical and emotional toll the injury has had on your life.
- Property Damage: If your property was damaged in the accident, such as your vehicle in a car accident, you can seek compensation for repair or replacement costs.
The Legal Process for Personal Injury Claims
Once you decide to move forward with a claim, your lawyer will conduct a thorough investigation. This may involve gathering evidence, such as witness statements, accident reports, medical records, surveillance footage, and any other relevant documentation. In addition to this, we may enlist the expertise of various professionals such as accident reconstructionists, medical experts, or forensic specialists to provide valuable insights and analysis to help build your case further.
Our skilled attorneys will aggressively negotiate on your behalf to secure a fair and just settlement that adequately compensates you for your injuries and losses, current and future. If negotiations fail to yield a fair settlement, we are prepared to fight for you in court.
New Jersey's Personal Injury Statute of Limitations
In New Jersey, the statute of limitations, which dictates how long you have to file a lawsuit, is typically two years from the date of the injury or discovery of the injury. This means that you have a two-year window to initiate legal action to seek compensation for injuries caused by someone else’s negligence.
Failing to file within this period generally results in losing the right to pursue a claim, making it essential to act promptly. Exceptions may exist, thus consulting with a personal injury lawyer can help ensure that you meet all deadlines and take the necessary steps to protect your legal rights.
