Legal Resources
Personal injury lawyers provide a valuable service to the communities we serve. By holding those accountable who break safety rules and endanger people, the community is made safer. Ultimately, this results in fewer victims, fewer lawsuits and a safer New Jersey.
By working together we can make a difference and all become top personal injury lawyers. This is especially so when it comes to “usual suspects” experts hired by corporations and insurance companies to typically give the same kind of opinion in nearly every case. They will almost always say a defendant never did anything wrong, they will blame the injured person the safety rules were meant to protect, or otherwise deflect blame away from the party that hired them. When it comes to injuries they will almost always state or imply the plaintiff is “faking” or “exaggerating” their injuries or that the problems are a “pre-existing degenerative condition” or a “sprain/strain” or that “the objective signs do not meet the subjective complaints” or similar pro-defense “opinions.”
We hope the below resources will help you in your legal practice to better represent your injury case clients.
