Cases we handle
Camden County Injury Cases
Car Accidents
Rear-end, intersection and highway crashes on I-295, Route 42, Route 70 and local roads. New Jersey’s PIP rules and your lawsuit option both shape the claim.
Pedestrian Accidents
Camden County has the highest pedestrian death share in South Jersey. Drivers must stop and stay stopped for pedestrians in marked crosswalks.
Slip and Falls
Falls in stores, restaurants, apartment complexes and parking lots caused by spills, ice, broken pavement or poor lighting.
Dog Bites
New Jersey’s dog bite statute holds owners strictly liable for bites in most situations, even if the dog never bit anyone before.
Truck Accidents
Tractor-trailer and delivery truck crashes on I-295, the Turnpike, Route 130 and around the Camden port and warehouses.
Motorcycle Accidents
Crashes caused by drivers who fail to see riders, especially at intersections and when turning left.

Wrongful Death
When a crash or other negligence takes a life, the family may bring a wrongful death and survival claim.
Wrongful death
Wrongful Death Claims in Camden County
When someone is killed because of another person’s negligence, New Jersey’s Wrongful Death Act allows the family to recover the financial losses caused by the death, such as lost income, services and support, along with funeral and medical expenses. A separate survival claim can recover for the pain and suffering the person experienced before death. These claims generally must be filed within two years.
Given how many Camden County traffic deaths involve pedestrians, these cases often turn on crash reconstruction, video and witness evidence that must be gathered quickly.
What to expect
How a Camden County Injury Case Works
Serious injuries in Camden County are usually treated at Cooper University Hospital in Camden, a Level I trauma center, or at hospitals such as Jefferson Cherry Hill and Virtua Our Lady of Lourdes. Getting prompt care matters for your health and for your claim.
If you were hurt in a car or pedestrian crash, your own auto policy’s PIP coverage usually pays your medical bills first. A claim against the at-fault driver or property owner can then cover what PIP doesn’t, along with lost wages and pain and suffering. Under New Jersey’s comparative negligence law, you can recover as long as you were 50% or less at fault.
If a lawsuit is needed, a Camden County case is usually filed in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Law Division, at the Camden County Hall of Justice in Camden. You generally have two years to file, and if a public entity such as a township, the county or NJ Transit may be responsible, a notice of claim is usually due within 90 days. See our guide to New Jersey filing deadlines.

Questions
Camden County Personal Injury FAQs
Where would my Camden County injury lawsuit be filed?
Usually in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Law Division, in Camden County, at the Hall of Justice in Camden. Most cases settle before trial, but we prepare every case as if it will go to court.
I was hit while walking. What should I do?
Get medical care first. Then, if you can, write down where it happened, the driver’s information and the names of witnesses. Pedestrians hit by cars are often covered by PIP, either through their own auto policy or a household member’s, so the claim can be more involved than people expect.
Can my family bring a claim if a loved one was killed?
Yes. New Jersey allows a wrongful death claim for the family’s financial losses and a survival claim for what the person suffered before death. These claims generally must be filed within two years.
How much does it cost to hire you?
Nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee, so there’s no fee unless we win.
