When you are the injured victim of a motor vehicle accident, or sustain injuries in a slip and fall on public or private property, an experienced personal injury lawyer must be contacted as soon as possible to help you with the following areas:

Medical Treatment:

• Automobile Accidents

Many practicing physicians are not fully familiar with the complexity of laws requiring pre-certification of treatment and diagnostic tests for services performed when you injured in motor vehicle accidents. You are allowed to treat as necessary for the first ten (10) days subsequent to the accident date, but the law requires pre-certification for any treatment thereafter.

• Slip and Fall Accidents

Medical treatment for slip and fall accidents can be more difficult to obtain, as not all doctors will treat victims who have no medical insurance to pay for the necessary treatment.

An experienced personal injury attorney has the ability to answer your questions regarding the provision of medical care for your injuries.

  An experienced personal injury attorney can advise you of your rights and responsibilities as well as the rights and responsibilities of the treating physicians regarding the provision of medical treatment.

To determine if you have a valid claim:

• Motor Vehicle Accidents

Everyone injured in a motor vehicle accident must initially determine if he or she must satisfy the permanency requirements of the Limitation on Lawsuit Threshold or some other required threshold. An experienced personal injury lawyer will know which threshold applies and will help to ensure that you are able to meet the legal standard or will advise if you are unable to meet the standard in the particular instance.

• Slip and Fall Accidents

In most cases a threshold does not exist, however, if you were injured on property owned by a public entity, the threshold required by the New Jersey Tort Claims Act (Title 59) may apply. This standard is extremely tough both regarding the nature of the injuries as well as liability standards. An experienced personal injury lawyer will know if the threshold applies and whether your injuries and the liability situation will be sufficient to satisfy the legal standard.

In all accidents where you have sustained an injury, it is necessary to speak to an experienced personal injury lawyer who can realistically advise whether a claim is feasible. You may not always like what you hear, but the Law Offices of Brian V. Lucianna will always honestly advise you of the realities of a claim.

Motor Vehicle Accidents:

• To ensure that any property damage to your vehicle is satisfied by the insurance company for the person who caused the accident. When an accident is caused by someone else, their insurance company should pay for your property damage without regard to deductibles, and should provide you with the necessary rental car, should you need one. An experienced personal injury attorney can help obtain these benefits.
• In all accidents it is necessary to conduct a thorough investigation as soon as possible after the accident. Sometimes, especially in a situation where it can be anticipated that liability for an accident will be challenged, an investigator working for you is essential to the success of your claim.
