Questions
What should I do immediately after a car accident?
Seek medical attention, document injuries and damage, exchange contact information with witnesses, report to police, and contact Bhatt Law Group for legal guidance.
How much does a personal injury lawyer cost?
We work on contingency fees for personal injury cases - you pay nothing unless we win your compensation.
Can I handle a car accident claim without a lawyer?
While possible, insurance companies often offer lower settlements without legal representation. Our clients typically recover 3.5x more with legal counsel.
What if the accident was partially my fault?
New Jersey follows comparative negligence rules. You may still recover compensation reduced by your percentage of fault.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim?
New Jersey's statute of limitations is generally two years from the accident date. Contact us promptly to preserve evidence.
Do you handle both trial and settlement negotiations?
We prepare every case for trial while aggressively negotiating settlements to achieve optimal client outcomes.
