We take personal injury claims very seriously. When a party is injured so severely they are left with a permanent disability, disfigurement, or loss of income, they may be entitled to compensation. Typical personal injury claims rest on the proven negligence of a responsible party, which can include a private citizen, company, or in some cases, even the state or country. Personal injury law covers a wide range of situations, each requiring a thorough investigation to establish liability. Auto accidents, trucking accidents, and motorcycle accidents can lead to severe injuries that require extensive medical treatment, often resulting in significant financial and emotional distress for the victims.
If you have been injured on the job, you may be entitled to workers’ compensation benefits to cover your medical expenses and lost wages. Our firm is experienced in handling these types of claims, ensuring that workers receive the support they need during their recovery. Additionally, some personal injury cases involve wrongful death, where a family member loses their life due to someone else’s negligence. We approach these sensitive cases with the utmost care, fighting for the justice and compensation that the families deserve.
Our attorneys are well-versed in handling various personal injury cases, including those involving slip-and-fall accidents. Our firm assists clients in recovering damages for their pain and suffering, taking into account the unique circumstances of each incident.

How to Determine Financial Compensation
With the help of our team of professional lawyers at DAME Legal, we will help you come up with a suitable figure for compensation in cases of personal injury. Factors we take into account in this process include:
The costs of medical treatment—short-term & long-term ○ Irreparable trauma, such as PTSD ○ Pain and suffering ○ Permanent disfigurement or disability ○ Inability to work ○ Loss of income ○ Wrongful death
While there is nothing that can undo the damage done, DAME Legal works diligently with all of our personal injury clients to calculate a compensation amount that best allows them to move forward with their lives.
In cases of permanent injury, massive medical costs, loss of income, wrongful death, irreparable psychological trauma, and the inability to work, reasonable compensation would allow the victim to return to a comfortable standard of living.
With the help of our personal injury lawyers at DAME Legal, we take all of the above circumstances into account, as well as the negligent party’s financial means and degree of negligence, to win our clients the compensation they rightfully deserve. We are in the business of justice at DAME Legal, and we will fight for yours.
Determining the negligent party’s duty of care
In personal injury cases, the law outlines the duty of care citizens are responsible for upholding. In most situations, private citizens have a reasonable duty of care to other citizens to follow the law to the best of their ability and remain aware of their surroundings.
In the case of auto accidents and driving under the influence, the driver in an altered state has failed to uphold their duty of care to follow the law and remain aware of their surroundings. This negligence can also apply to reckless and aggressive drivers who fail to obey traffic laws.
If you suspect that a private citizen, company, or the state has failed to uphold their responsibilities, and it resulted in your personal injury, you may be entitled to financial compensation.
If you live in the greater New Jersey area or the New York metropolitan area, our partners at DAME Legal can help you overcome this difficult part of your life with relative ease. Give us a call at 201-968-5800 or fill out our contact form on our site to begin the process.
Testimonials
CLIENTS APPRECIATE US
From the time I walked in I realized I had found the right attorneys for me.
Shelley and her team got me my child back from a non-Hague country. She was there at the worse time in my life for tears on her shoulder and there in the best time in my life when she hugged my daughter as she got off of the plane.
Ron knew the value of my case, when to fight, what to say and how to say it. He got me ten times more then I thought I would receive.
Patrick and I went to trial on my matter. Only on T.V. have I ever seen someone with as much command of the courtroom, respect of the Judge, and the ability to get through to the Jury.
Marilyn is the best Family attorney in the State. That is all you need to know.
I never felt like a commodity. I was part of the team.
Pat settled my case and I was set for the rest of my life.
I was facing the best years of my life incarcerated. Shelley was there for me and my family the entire time. When we got a not-guilty verdict and I told her “you did it,” Shelley shot back with a “WE DID IT !”
Don’t be taken back by Amanda’s youth. She has the wisdom of George Washington and the wit of George Carlin.
The best thing I can say about Paul is beware the quiet ones. His knowledge of the law outwits all of his adversaries.
I would like to thank you for your superior and knowledgeable service. This was my first time being in a traffic incident of any type. Your pleasant, polite and reassuring voice really put me at ease.
