If you or a family member suffered an injury to your back in an accident in New Jersey, you need an experienced New Jersey injury lawyer to handle your claim and make sure you are fairly compensated. At My NJ Injury Lawyer Howard P. Lesnik, Esq., I fight to ensure my clients receive the benefits they are entitled to.
Many accident victims ask me how much their case will be worth in New Jersey for back injuries. This is a very difficult question to answer right after someone is involved in an accident. You’ve heard that no two snowflakes are alike. Also, no two cases are alike. Every accident case is unique and there are many factors that go into determining the settlement amount. Here are some of the important factors that determine how much (or how little) your back injury case is worth.
If you are injured in an accident, you should seek medical treatment immediately. Do not wait to receive medical treatment if you hurt your back in an accident. Insurance companies view any delay of treatment negatively toward your claim. Insurance adjusters will argue that you were not injured if you did not seek treatment and that your injuries are not serious if you waited too long to see a doctor.
If your injury is permanent, your claim will certainly be worth a higher value. If your back is permanently injured, you will never be the way you were before the accident. Since you cannot be fully healed, you are awarded money damages in New Jersey to try to make you whole again and compensate you for your injuries. The nature and extent of your back injury will greatly impact your settlement claim.
If your accident left you with large medical bills that were not covered by insurance, this figure must be included in your claim. You are entitled to recover your out-of-pocket expenses incurred as a result of your accident. An experienced attorney will know to include these expenses as part of your claim.
In New Jersey, you must prove liability in addition to damages. This means that another person or entity must have been negligent in causing the accident or dangerous condition.
How much insurance is available to cover your back injury claim? For example, if you are involved in a motor vehicle accident, and the vehicle that hit you only has a $15,000 policy, your claim may be limited to this amount. However, if you have under-insured motorist coverage, you may be able to make a claim for additional compensation. You need an experienced attorney who can determine who much insurance is available to cover your claim.
Neck, back and spine injuries are among the most common injuries that you can suffer in an accident. These injuries can lead to permanent disability and can be extremely painful. They can be caused by a slip and fall on a sidewalk, grocery store, snow and ice, or car accidents. If you have injured your spine, neck or back in an accident in New Jersey, seek medical attention and then immediately call My NJ Injury Lawyer Howard P. Lesnik, Esq.

If you or a loved one suffered a back injury in an accident, you should contact an attorney familiar with handling these claims. Many lawyers will tell you how much your claim is worth without evaluating all the factors in your case. These lawyers are only interested in telling you what you want to hear so they can represent you. Make sure your attorney is not only driven by money. Your attorney must be experienced in NJ personal injury claims and be familiar with all variables in your case before discussing who much your case can be worth.

Howard is very professional and very pleasant at all times. He was amazing during the entire process of fighting for me and told me not to worry. Once he told me that I knew I made the right choice of hiring him as my lawyer. He kept me informed every step of the way and explained the entire process to me in full detail in a way I could understand. He calls, emails and text you to keep you updated all throughout the process as I was being sued do to a car accident with false accusations. GUESS WHAT??? He called me a few days ago and told me the case was dismissed. He is again AMAZING. I was worried but I felt he was confident that we would win but he did not tell me this. You could just feel the confidence in his voice. I highly recommend Howard because he will fight with and for you until the very end. He is the BEST!!

Mr. Howard Lesnik, has been with me since December 21st 2017 ever since my horrific accident in Newark, NJ.

I thank God for Howard and I give him my world famous TWO Louie Morales thumbs up. I don’t give those out lightly and to many, however he deserves them and more. I Highly recommend him to everyone seeking damages from auto, falls and work accidents. Sincerely, Luis Angel Morales
