At Mennie Heizler Law Group, we help clients across New Jersey recover compensation after they’ve been injured due to someone else’s negligence. Personal injury law covers a broad range of accidents, but four types of cases tend to be the most common—and the most impactful.
If you’re wondering whether your case qualifies, here are the four main types of personal injury claims we handle and why they matter.
1. Car Accidents and Motor Vehicle Injury Claims in New Jersey
Motor vehicle accidents are one of the most common reasons people seek help from a personal injury attorney.
Types of auto accident cases we handle:
- Car accidents
- Truck accidents
- Motorcycle accidents
- Bicycle and pedestrian accidents
- Rideshare accidents (Uber, Lyft)
Why it matters:
New Jersey’s insurance laws can make these cases complex, and injuries can range from soft tissue damage to life-altering trauma. We help clients recover compensation for medical bills, lost wages, property damage, and pain and suffering.
2. Premises Liability and Slip and Fall Accidents
Property owners have a legal duty to keep their premises safe. When they fail to do so, people can get hurt.
Common premises liability cases:
- Slip and fall injuries
- Trip and fall accidents
- Dog bites and animal attacks
- Inadequate or negligent security
- Snow and ice-related falls
Why it matters:
Proving liability in a premises case often depends on showing that the property owner knew—or should have known—about the dangerous condition. These claims are frequently denied without strong legal representation.
3. Workplace Injuries and Workers’ Compensation Claims
Workplace injuries are especially common in construction, industrial, and manual labor jobs, but they can happen anywhere. If you were injured on the job, you may be entitled to workers’ compensation benefits—and sometimes more.
Work-related claims we handle:
- Construction accidents
- Industrial accidents
- Repetitive stress or overuse injuries
- Third-party liability claims (against subcontractors, manufacturers, etc.)
Why it matters:
Navigating New Jersey’s workers’ compensation system can be difficult, especially if a third party (not your employer) may also be at fault. We make sure injured workers pursue every available option for full compensation.
4. Catastrophic Injury and Wrongful Death Cases
Some injuries result in permanent disability—or the devastating loss of life. These cases require experienced and compassionate legal support, often involving expert testimony and complex damage calculations.
Catastrophic injury cases we handle:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Spinal cord injuries
- Severe burns
- Wrongful death claims
Why it matters:
These claims often involve long-term care, lost income, and significant pain and suffering. Families deserve full financial recovery for these life-altering events, and that means working with a law firm that understands the stakes.
