You Can Afford 
Dunne Law Firm

For decades, New Jersey has trusted our car accident lawyers to prove driver negligence or, when necessary, to show that a defective vehicle part caused a crash. When you work with us, you will meet directly with an attorney who has the knowledge and skill to handle your claim.

Our car accident attorneys work on a contingency fee basis. That means you pay nothing upfront. We handle every aspect of your case at no out-of-pocket cost to you, and we are paid only if we recover compensation through a verdict or settlement.

Potential Compensation

The financial losses and emotional impact of a car accident are known as damages. While New Jersey drivers carry Personal Injury Protection (PIP) insurance, this coverage often falls short of addressing the full extent of a victim’s losses. Our car accident attorneys will review your case and determine the compensation you may be entitled to recover, which may include:
 

  • Property damage

  • Lost wages

  • Future lost income

  • Physical pain and emotional distress

  • Medical bills

  • Loss of life

  • Loss of companionship

  • Lost earnings of the deceased

Gathering Evidence

To establish liability, our car accident attorneys gather key evidence and carefully document your account of the accident, along with statements from eyewitnesses. We review police reports to determine fault and identify whether the other driver violated laws or regulations. For example, evidence of intoxication, speeding, or exceeding hours-of-service limits may support liability.

If your accident results in a criminal case, you don’t have to wait for it to conclude before pursuing a civil personal injury claim. Criminal proceedings can take time, and starting your claim early helps protect your rights.

Accident Reconstruction

To build the strongest possible case for our North Jersey clients, we may conduct our own accident reconstruction. While police reports provide important details, we can take additional steps by working with third-party investigators to document physical evidence such as skid marks, vehicle damage, and crash-site conditions.

Our Springfield-based firm has the resources needed to thoroughly investigate car accident cases, and we do everything in our power to prove your claim.

Receiving Appropriate Medical Assistance
 

After a car accident, your health should be the top priority. It is important to seek medical care and keep all medical records and billing statements, as these documents help establish your damages and must be submitted to insurance companies. Our personal injury lawyers assist with tracking expenses and calculating long-term losses so you can focus on recovery.

Truck and Motorcycle Accidents

Dunne Law Firm also represents clients throughout Springfield, Kearny, and North Jersey who have been injured in truck or motorcycle accidents.

Although these cases share similarities with car accident claims, they often involve more severe injuries and complex liability issues. Truck accidents may include multiple responsible parties, and motorcycle cases can be influenced by unfair stereotypes. Our personal injury lawyers provide the seasoned representation these cases demand.

Proven DUI Defense

In addition to representing injury victims, our attorneys also assist clients facing criminal charges related to auto accidents. DUI-related charges can be overwhelming, and we work carefully to gather facts and build a strong defense. Our diverse legal background allows us to better understand and address each client’s specific situation.

Cuts

Minor to severe lacerations caused by loose objects

Soft Tissue Injury

Damage to muscles, ligaments, and tendons

Head Injuries

Whiplash, concussions, and impact to the head and facial region
