Car accidents are common on Route 4 and Main Street, especially during rush hour. Hackensack also sees frequent slip and fall, construction, and premises liability cases, along with truck and rideshare accidents tied to the area’s busy commercial corridors.
New Jersey law generally gives injury victims two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit under N.J.S.A. 2A:14-2. If a public entity is involved, such as an NJ Transit vehicle or a municipal road, a separate 90-day notice requirement applies under the New Jersey Tort Claims Act.
Luis works on a contingency fee basis, meaning there is no upfront cost to speak with him about your case, and no attorney fees unless he recovers compensation for you.
Seek medical attention right away, even if injuries seem minor, and document the scene with photos if you’re able. Contact an attorney as soon as possible so evidence can be preserved and all applicable deadlines are met.
Most personal injury cases settle before trial, but insurance companies negotiate differently with attorneys who are prepared to litigate. As a Certified Civil Trial Attorney, Luis Martinez prepares every case as though it may go before a jury.
