A Local Lawyer for Gloucester County Injury Victims

Gloucester County has about 300,000 residents spread across fast-growing suburbs like Washington Township, Monroe Township and Mullica Hill, older towns like Woodbury, Glassboro and Paulsboro, and farmland in the south. That mix means long commutes on high-speed roads, busy shopping corridors and plenty of rural two-lane highways.

Attorney Blaise Richards was born and raised in Williamstown and represents people hurt anywhere in Gloucester County. He handles every case himself, and his five-plus years working for a major insurance carrier mean he knows how adjusters size up a claim.

Gloucester County roads

Where Accidents Happen in Gloucester County

Gloucester County recorded 183 traffic deaths from 2021 to 2025, according to New Jersey State Police data. Deaths fell every year in that period, but the county’s high-speed roads remain dangerous:

• Route 55: a September 2026 Philadelphia Inquirer analysis of NJDOT data found a 0.64-mile stretch in Elk Township with 4 fatal crashes
• Route 42, I-295 and the New Jersey Turnpike in the county’s northern towns
• Route 47 (Delsea Drive) and Route 322: busy corridors through Glassboro, Washington Township and Monroe Township
• Route 41, Route 45 and the Atlantic City Expressway, where commuter and shore traffic mix with local drivers
• Rural two-lane roads in the southern townships, where speed, farm equipment and limited lighting lead to serious crashes

See our South Jersey crash data report for the full numbers.

Slip and fall

Slip and Fall Injuries in Gloucester County

From the stores and restaurants along Route 42 and Route 47 to apartment complexes, office parks and Rowan University’s campus in Glassboro, Gloucester County sees many serious falls. New Jersey businesses must keep their property reasonably safe, which means finding and fixing hazards like spills, ice, potholes and broken stairs, or warning people about them.

To win, you generally need to show the owner knew or should have known about the hazard. In self-service stores like supermarkets, New Jersey’s mode-of-operation rule can make that easier. For snow and ice, commercial owners generally must clear their lots and walkways within a reasonable time after a storm ends. Evidence disappears fast, so photograph the hazard, report the fall, get witness names and see a doctor.

Falls on public property, such as a township sidewalk or county building, usually require a notice of claim within 90 days. Learn more on our slip and fall page or in our guide on what to do after a slip and fall in New Jersey.

Gloucester County Injury Cases

What to expect

How a Gloucester County Injury Case Works

Many Gloucester County patients are treated at Inspira Medical Center Mullica Hill or Jefferson Washington Township Hospital, and the most serious injuries are often taken to Cooper University Hospital in Camden, a Level I trauma center.

If you were hurt in a 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 Gloucester County case is usually filed in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Law Division, at the Gloucester County Justice Complex in Woodbury. You generally have two years to file, and as little as 90 days to file a notice of claim if a public entity may be responsible. See our guide to New Jersey filing deadlines.

Questions

Gloucester County Personal Injury FAQs

Do I have a case if I slipped and fell at a Gloucester County store?

Possibly. It depends on what caused the fall, whether the store knew or should have known about it, and how badly you were hurt. A free consultation can help you find out.

Where would my Gloucester County injury lawsuit be filed?

Usually in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Law Division, at the Gloucester County Justice Complex in Woodbury.

I was hurt in an Uber or Lyft. Who pays?

It depends on whether the driver had the app on and was carrying or headed to a passenger. Your own PIP usually pays medical bills first, and the rideshare company’s commercial policy may cover the rest.

How much does it cost to hire you?

Nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee, so there’s no fee unless we win.
