Personal Injuries
Accidents happen when we least expect them, often leaving individuals with serious injuries and numerous challenges. If someone’s negligence has caused you any injury, then it is essential to consult with experienced personal injury lawyers to protect your claim for damages.
At Davis, Saperstein & Salomon P,C., dedicated legal assistance is made available to all people in the state of New Jersey and New York who get injured due to someone else’s carelessness. Their attorneys work actively in recovering damages for the pain and suffering, medical expenses, loss of income, and overall decline in quality of life their clients endure.
They also tackle concerns raised regarding case misconceptions. It is not all about making money, but rather it is all about reviewing what damages were inflicted and making sure that the affected person receives the assistance needed. Importantly, many claims are settled out of court and never escalate to formal legal proceedings or trials.
Timely Action
It’s very important that action be taken immediately following an injury. Laws governing personal injury claims, such as statutes of limitations, set strict deadlines for filing a case. The sooner an action is taken, the better an attorney is able to obtain crucial evidence, details, witness interviews, and develop a strong case while everything is still fresh. Delay could jeopardize the ability to secure the deserved compensation.
New Jersey and New York Personal Injury Laws
Regardless of the fact that both New Jersey and New York have passed legislation that provides the injured a shield, there are some notable differences. New Jersey operates under the “comparative negligence” rule, where compensation is never given in full if the injured has some partial fault. Yet, New York State practices “pure comparative negligence,” allowing victims to recover damages even if they are primarily at fault.
These differences help lawyers craft strategies tailored to the specific jurisdiction.
Common Situations Leading to Injuries
Personal injuries arise from a variety of circumstances, and the team of lawyers at Davis, Saperstein & Salomon, P.C. has extensive experience handling a wide range of cases, including:
- Motor Vehicle Accidents: injuries arising from car, truck, motorcycle, and even pedestrian accidents due to careless or distracted driving

The Role of Technology in Building Stronger Cases
In today’s digital age, technology plays a critical role in strengthening personal injury cases. Video recordings or GPS satellite tracking of an accident and patients’ records stored electronically are all helpful. Because of these technological advancements, the possibility of proving negligence is supported with enough documentation.
