Every day, people in Union City go about their lives without thinking twice about the risks around them until a car accident, a workplace fall, or someone else’s negligence changes everything in an instant.

New Jersey’s personal injury system can be difficult to navigate on your own, especially when insurance companies are already working against you.

Union City sits in Hudson County, one of the most densely populated areas in the state. Heavy traffic on Bergenline Avenue, Routes 1 and 9, and the surrounding roadways creates daily exposure to car accidents, truck collisions, and pedestrian incidents. Construction is constant throughout the area, and with that come serious risks for workers and bystanders alike.
After an injury, most people face the same pressure: medical bills pile up, time off work adds up quickly, and the at-fault party’s insurance company is almost immediately calling to offer a settlement. That offer is rarely fair. Insurers work to minimize payouts, and without legal representation, injured people often accept far less than what their case is worth.
One of the most important things to know after any injury is that time is not on your side. According to the New Jersey Courts, the statute of limitations for personal injury actions in New Jersey is generally two years from the date of the injury. Missing that deadline almost always means losing the right to recover compensation entirely, regardless of how strong the case may be.
This is why reaching out to an attorney as soon as possible matters. Evidence gets lost, witness memories fade, and critical documentation becomes harder to obtain the longer you wait.
Union City residents face a wide range of injury scenarios, and our practice is built to address them. We handle cases across the full scope of personal injury law, with a focus on matters that most directly affect working people and families.
The cases we handle include:
Every case is different, and we approach each one based on the specific facts, the client’s goals, and the most effective path toward fair compensation. Whether you were hurt in a car accident or a truck crash, we have handled cases like yours and know what it takes to build a strong claim.
Choosing who represents you after a serious injury is one of the most consequential decisions you will make. Luis Martinez brings credentials that fewer than 1% of New Jersey attorneys hold: he is a Certified Civil Trial Attorney, a designation that requires rigorous testing and demonstrated courtroom experience. He is also a former municipal judge and former public defender, perspectives that shape how he builds and presents cases in every courtroom he enters.
Luis grew up on the other side of the Hackensack River and has practiced throughout Hudson and Bergen Counties his entire career. He knows the courts, the local traffic patterns, the insurance carriers, and the tactics they use.
We also understand that a significant portion of Union City’s population is Spanish-speaking. Luis is bilingual, and our office handles cases in both English and Spanish. You should never have to worry about whether your attorney truly understands what you are saying. We speak your language, in every sense.
Injured people often underestimate what their case may be worth, particularly when an early insurance offer seems reasonable. In reality, a fair personal injury recovery may include compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, reduced earning capacity, pain and suffering, and costs related to ongoing care or rehabilitation. The strength of a claim depends on the quality of the evidence gathered, the ability to demonstrate fault, and the experience of the attorney making the case.
Luis has negotiated with every major insurance company operating in New Jersey and has tried cases throughout northern New Jersey courtrooms when settlement offers fall short. Insurance companies know he is willing and prepared to go to trial, and that reputation changes how they negotiate. We take all personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis, which means there are no upfront costs and no fees unless we recover for you.
