FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
What types of cases does Garrett “Gary” Klein handle?
​
Gary represents clients in a wide range of personal injury matters, including motor vehicle accidents, slip and fall incidents, workplace injuries, medical malpractice, wrongful death, and other claims arising from negligence.
​
Do I need to pay legal fees upfront?
​
No. The firm operates on a contingency fee basis. Clients are not required to pay any legal fees unless compensation is recovered through a settlement or verdict. All terms will be clearly outlined at the start of representation.
​
How is the value of my case determined?
​
The value of a case depends on multiple factors, including the severity of the injury, medical expenses, lost income, and the overall impact on daily life. Gary conducts a thorough review of each client’s circumstances to provide an informed assessment.
​
How long will my case take to resolve?
​
The length of a case varies. Some matters may be resolved through settlement within a few months, while others may proceed to trial and take longer. Gary ensures that clients remain informed of progress throughout the process.
​
Should I speak directly with the insurance company?
​
It is strongly advised that clients refrain from communicating with insurance companies without legal representation. Insurance adjusters often attempt to limit claims. Gary handles all communications to safeguard his clients’ interests.
​
What if I am partially at fault for the accident?
​
New Jersey follows a modified comparative negligence rule. You may still recover compensation if you are found to be 50% or less at fault for the accident, but your recovery will be reduced by your percentage of fault. If you are more than 50% responsible, you cannot recover damages. Gary will explain how this applies to your case.
