Cape May County Personal Injury Claim FAQs
How much do most personal injury attorneys charge in NJ?
Most work on a contingency basis, typically a set percentage of your case recovery. You pay nothing upfront.
What is the average settlement for a personal injury claim?
It depends on the severity of your injury, medical costs, and liability. Many settlements range from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Can I sue if I was hit on my bike in Cape May County?
Yes. If a driver’s negligence caused your bicycle accident, you may be eligible for compensation for your injuries, lost wages, and other damages.
What is the average payout for a slip and fall case in New Jersey?
While each case is unique, moderate injuries typically settle for less than severe or permanent injuries which can be significantly higher.
Can I sue my employer for a work injury?
Workers’ compensation doesn’t allow traditional lawsuits against your employer, but you can recover wages and medical benefits. If a third party contributed to your injury, we may be able to file a separate personal injury lawsuit for additional damages.

New Jersey caps attorney fees at 20% of the award, and only if your lawyer wins you benefits.
