Seeking representation at DAME Legal after your auto accident
Car accidents can occur in an instant. One second, you are on your way to work, picking up your kids, or completing your list of errands, and the next, you are standing roadside wondering how it happened. At DAME Legal, we believe car accident victims deserve to move forward with their lives while also seeking justice for the whirlwind of events they have endured.
In some cases, auto accidents result in tragic fatalities, leading to wrongful death claims by the victim’s family. These cases require a compassionate yet determined approach to ensure that families receive the compensation and closure they deserve. Our firm is also equipped to handle complex cases involving multiple parties, such as trucking accidents, which can involve both drivers and companies. We work tirelessly to uncover the details of each accident, gathering evidence to support our clients’ claims.
If an auto accident occurs while on the job, you might also be eligible for workers’ compensation benefits. Navigating both a personal injury claim and a workers’ compensation case can be complicated, but our experienced attorneys will guide you through the process to ensure all your rights are protected. We understand the financial strain that comes with being unable to work due to an accident, and we aim to secure the benefits you need during your recovery.
At DAME Legal, we are committed to advocating for those affected by auto accidents, regardless of the circumstances. Our team takes on every case with dedication and diligence, whether it involves a single driver or multiple parties. By putting our clients’ needs first, we strive to achieve the best possible outcomes and help them regain control of their lives.
Because New Jersey has a 2-year statute of limitations on personal injury claims, it is essential that you contact us as soon as possible so that we can begin your case before the statute expires. Once we have started working together, your legal representation will handle all the toughest parts of your accident aftermath. DAME Legal will handle contacting your insurance provider, contacting third-party insurance providers, and navigating any claims of personal injury.
Common car accident causes
Hundreds of thousands of car accidents take place every single year despite all the best efforts. Driving heavy machinery on a daily basis is an inherently dangerous endeavor, and even with the strictest of traffic enforcement, accidents can still happen.
The most common causes of car accidents include:
- Distracted driving – this can include texting while driving, unruly passengers, eating while driving, putting on make-up while driving and more
- Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol – slow reaction times and decreased coordination are among the leading causes of car accidents in America
- Speeding, aggressive, and reckless driving – driving over the speed limit increases the risk of bodily harm to the driver and potential victims
- Failure to follow traffic laws – driving through a red light and failing to use turn signals can confuse other drivers and increase the risk of striking a pedestrian
- Driving while tired – after a long day of work or driving, and taking medications with drowsiness side effects can lead drivers to fall asleep at the wheel
- Inclement weather and road conditions – poor weather conditions combined with potholes and construction can lead to accidents
- Poor road design – roads lacking streetlights, proper road signs, stop signs, and traffic lights can lead to confusion on the road
Car malfunction – if your car contains defective parts leading to stalling, difficulty braking, bad tires, or improper deployment of airbags, this can increase the severity and risk of an accident
Common car accident injuries
Cars are unquestionably massive pieces of machinery. Because they are capable of a degree of force outside of the natural limits of the human body, personal injuries can occur to you, the passengers, and other drivers, even in seemingly minor accidents. Personal injuries can lead to long-term consequences for the injured party. Common injuries sustained in a car accident can include:
- Head injuries
- Neck, back, and spine injuries
- Shoulder injuries
- Soft tissue injuries
- Broken bones
- Internal injuries
- Knee, leg, and ankle injuries
If you suspect you have sustained personal injury in a car accident as a result of another party’s negligence, you may be entitled to financial compensation. It is essential that you call our team at DAME Legal as quickly as possible after your accident.

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.
