Practice Areas

Motor Vehicle Accidents

Car, truck,  and motorcycle accidents are among the leading causes of personal injury claims. To recover compensation, an injured party must prove that another driver acted negligently — for example, by speeding, running a red light, or failing to yield — and that this conduct directly caused the crash.

Victims may be entitled to damages for medical expenses, lost income, property damage, and pain and suffering. Under New Jersey’s comparative negligence law, even if a victim is partially at fault, they may still recover compensation reduced in proportion to their share of responsibility.

Product Liability

Defective or dangerous products can cause serious injuries. These defects may stem from flaws in the design, errors in the manufacturing process, or inadequate warnings and instructions. Product liability cases often involve detailed investigation and expert analysis to determine where and how the defect occurred.

Manufacturers, distributors, and retailers may all share responsibility when a defective product causes harm.

Medical Malpractice and Nursing Home Abuse

Medical professionals are held to a high standard of care. When errors such as misdiagnoses, surgical mistakes, improper medication, or inadequate patient monitoring occur, the consequences can be devastating. Medical malpractice cases often require careful review of records, expert testimony, and thorough investigation to identify all responsible parties.

Similarly, nursing home residents deserve proper care and dignity. Unfortunately, neglect and abuse can occur, sometimes unnoticed. Warning signs may include bedsores, unexplained injuries, malnutrition, or unusual changes in behavior. Caregivers and facilities that fail in their duty of care must be held accountable.

Catastrophic Injury

Some injuries result in permanent, life-altering consequences, such as paralysis, traumatic brain injuries, or amputations. These cases often require extensive medical care, rehabilitation, and long-term support.

When negligence results in the tragic loss of life, certain surviving family members may pursue a wrongful death claim. These claims can provide compensation for funeral expenses, loss of income, and loss of companionship. In New Jersey, wrongful death actions must be filed within a limited timeframe, making timely legal guidance essential.

Premises Liability

Property owners and operators are obligated to maintain safe conditions for lawful visitors. When they fail to correct or warn about dangerous conditions — such as wet floors, broken steps, poor lighting, or icy walkways — and a visitor is injured, the owner may be held accountable.

These claims may arise in commercial establishments like stores and restaurants, as well as in residential settings such as private homes. Establishing liability often requires showing that the property owner knew or should have known about the hazard and failed to address it.

Construction Liability

Construction sites present numerous risks, and when safety standards are not followed, workers and bystanders may suffer serious injuries. Falls, equipment malfunctions, collapsing structures, and exposure to hazardous materials are among the most common causes.

Employers, contractors, property owners, and equipment manufacturers may all bear responsibility when negligence leads to harm. Victims of construction accidents may pursue compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and long-term rehabilitation. Gary carefully investigates the circumstances of each incident to hold the appropriate parties accountable.
