While many personal injuries are inescapable and even at the fault of others, only under specific circumstances will another party bear legal responsibility for their actions. Still, if you were injured through no fault of your own, you may seek compensation from an at-fault party. This includes payments for medical bills and lost wages, as well as for non-economic losses such as mental anguish.
A Washington Township personal injury lawyer could represent you in your claim for a personal injury. From the beginning, a detail-oriented injury attorney can work to investigate the facts surrounding your injury to build the strongest case possible. En Español.
The Types of Personal Injury Cases in Washington Township
All personal injury cases are centered on a physical harm the plaintiff sustained. However, how this injury came to be will play a large role in determining who is at fault and identifying the correct causes of action that could lead to compensation.
Most injuries result from accidents. Even though the at-fault party in the case did not intend to cause any harm to the injured person, the law states they still carry civil liability for their actions. A common example here is a pedestrian accident pursued using the cause of action known as negligence.
All motorists assume a duty to protect anyone they may encounter while behind the wheel. This includes a duty to not cause any harm to pedestrians. If a driver violates this duty by breaking a rule of the road, or even by being careless, an injured pedestrian may argue that this amounted to negligence.
Other personal injury cases arise from intentional actions. A company that manufactures a known dangerous product or a criminal who attacks someone is also liable for any damage that results. A Washington Township personal injury lawyer could help you understand what cause of action most closely fits your specific injury.
Regardless of the chosen path forward, you must be sure to satisfy New Jersey’s statute of limitations. This is a law that controls when a court will hear a case. According to New Jersey Revised Statutes §2A:14-2, plaintiffs generally have only two years from the date of the injury to file a case. If you miss this deadline the court could bar your claim and you may not be able to recover any compensation.
Why Retain A Personal Injury Lawyer?
Some personal injury cases may seem simple. It often seems as if many scenarios leave little doubt as to which party is at-fault for the incident. Still, dealing with a defendant or their insurance company without the help of a lawyer can be risky.
Insurance companies know the law and understand that many plaintiffs are eager to settle their cases as soon as possible. Keeping this in mind, many may try to mislead unrepresented plaintiffs into signing statements that are against their interest or accepting settlements that are much lower than the true value of the case.
A Washington Township personal injury lawyer is dedicated to the idea that everyone who is injured due to the negligent actions of another has the right to be compensated for their losses. They take the lead in the case from day one to gather vital evidence, evaluate the case, and to protect you from aggressive insurance company tactics. If a trial is necessary, an attorney could present your case to a jury in a convincing and sympathetic way.
Let a Washington Township Personal Injury Attorney Help You

Testimonial from Paul D. -
My case settled recently after lasting 4 years. Grungo and Colarulo’s law firm were able to secure a large settlement award for my slip and fall accident. This money will help secure my future for the permanent injury I received as a result of the slip and fall. Everyone was very caring, and kept me informed throughout the entire process. Christine Lafferty is an excellent litigation lawyer. I highly recommend using them if you have been injured or in an accident. I hope I am never in a situation again to need their services, but I know who to go to if I, or any of my family members are ever injured. Thanks Grungo and Colarulo and staff for your compassionate service!

My wife and I reached out to Grungo Colarulo in 2020 for advise on a legal matter. After a meeting with the Attorney and Paralegal, we decided to go forward with a case. This case required a lot of documentation, and expert review of the documentation which was aquired. Throughout the process, we were kept up to date monthly, and Grungo Colarulo was always responsive to any questions that we had. The entire staff at Grungo Colarulo are very professional, caring, and willing to go the extra mile. This firm is a definite recommend!

Testimonial from Aminah M. -
A dear family friend referred us to a young attorney named Rich Grungo, Jr. We wanted answers and if necessary, justice for our father. From day one of a five-year journey, Mr. Rich Grungo, Jr. made our family and our pain his own. The man never stopped working for us. He kept us informed every step of the way. Questions were answered quickly and with great compassion and expertise. Even though Rich was always busy, he was never too busy for us. We always felt like we were his only clients
Testimonial from Mickey -
I had the opportunity to observe Mr. Grungo work in this case, both in the courtroom on the technical matters of the motions and also as his presentation to the jury in opening and presenting witnesses as well as utilizing animations… and drawings and films that were necessary for a proper understanding of the case…At all times during the presentation, Mr. Grungo operated mostly without notes and questioned the witnesses in a conversational manner which made it most effective. **

Hi Rich, Well I’m on my way up to college to finish packing my son’s stuff up and to go to his Graduation tomorrow. It’s hard to believe how fast and how slow, at the same time 5 years can go by.
