Our firm guides clients through every stage of the legal process and works to secure compensation for medical treatment, lost wages, and the long term consequences of an injury.
Pierce and Pierce handles a wide range of personal injury matters, including but not limited to:

Slip and falls, trip and falls, falldowns, swimming pool accidents, elevator and escalator accidents, negligent supervision, and injuries caused by unsafe property conditions.

Spinal cord injuries, burn injuries, scar injuries, permanent disabilities, and injuries resulting in long term medical needs.
A personal injury case arises when someone is harmed because another person or organization failed to use reasonable care. These matters can involve drivers, property owners, employers, businesses, or any party whose negligence contributed to the accident.
Compensation may be available for:
• Medical expenses
• Long term treatment or rehabilitation
• Lost income and reduced earning capacity
• Pain and suffering
• Permanent scarring or disfigurement
• Loss of enjoyment of life
Every case begins with a detailed evaluation of how the injury occurred and who may be legally responsible.
The Personal Injury Process
While each case is handled according to its specific facts, most personal injury matters follow a general sequence:
Initial Evaluation
The firm listens to your account of what happened, reviews available information, and determines whether the claim has legal merit.
Preserving Evidence
It is important to gather photographs, witness statements, accident reports, and insurance information early. Prompt medical treatment is also essential for documenting injuries.
Investigation and Medical Records
Your medical records and treatment history help establish the extent of your injuries. These documents support the claim for financial recovery.
Negotiation
Many cases can be resolved through negotiation with the insurance company once the injuries are fully understood and properly documented.
Lawsuit and Litigation
If the matter cannot be settled, a lawsuit may be filed. Litigation involves exchanging evidence and preparing the case for trial. Most cases resolve before trial, but Pierce and Pierce is prepared to advocate in court when necessary.
Every state has strict deadlines for filing a personal injury claim. In New Jersey, the statute of limitations for most personal injury cases is generally two years from the date of the accident, although exceptions may apply based on age, disability, or specific circumstances. Speaking with an attorney as early as possible protects your right to pursue compensation.
