Paterson Injury Lawyers

I’m still reeling from the shock and trauma of a car accident I was in a few months ago, and I feel compelled to share my experience with Paterson Injury Lawyers in Irvington. They were absolute lifesavers! I was at the intersection of Springfield Avenue and Clinton Avenue, a notoriously busy intersection, & had a green light and was going through the intersection when a car, speeding and not paying attention, ran the red light and slammed into the passenger side of my vehicle. The impact was terrifying. My car was spun around, and the airbags deployed. I was disoriented, in pain, and completely panicked. I managed to call 911, and thankfully, paramedics and the police arrived quickly. I was taken by ambulance to University Hospital in Newark. The doctors there ran a battery of tests – X-rays, CT scans, the works. The diagnosis was brutal: a fractured pelvis, three broken ribs, a severe concussion with post-concussion syndrome, and a torn rotator cuff in my right shoulder. I was hospitalized at Newark Beth Israel Medical Center for over a week. I had to undergo surgery to repair my fractured pelvis, which involved inserting pins and plates to stabilize the bones. After I was discharged, I started a long and difficult recovery process. I couldn’t work. I couldn’t take care of my kids. I couldn’t even do simple things like dress myself or take a shower without help. My husband had to take time off work to care for me, and we were both incredibly stressed about the mounting medical bills and the loss of income. I was overwhelmed, depressed and scared. A friend of mine, who had been in a minor fender-bender a few years ago, strongly recommended I contact a car accident lawyer. I was hesitant at first, but I realized I needed help. I searched online for car accident lawyer near me in Irvington, and Paterson Injury Lawyers came up with excellent reviews. I decided to give them a call. From the moment I spoke with Attorney Martinez, He explained my legal rights in clear, simple terms, and they assured me that they would handle everything. They even offered to come to my home for a consultation, since I was still unable to travel easily. This was a huge deal to me. Paterson Injury Lawyers immediately took charge of the situation. The insurance company for the other driver was initially very resistant and tried to minimize my injuries. They offered a ridiculously low settlement that wouldn’t even have covered a fraction of my medical expenses. Attorney Martinez was furious. They are a true fighter, and they weren’t about to let the insurance company take advantage of me. Attorney Martinez filed a lawsuit and began preparing for trial. They were incredibly thorough and meticulous in building my case. They consulted with medical experts, including an orthopedic surgeon, a neurologist, and a physical therapist, to document the full extent of my injuries and the long-term impact on my life. I was attending physical therapy multiple times a week at the rehabilitation center near Irvington Mall, and also getting treatment from a pain management specialist to cope with the chronic pain. Throughout the entire process, Attorney Martinez and their team were incredibly supportive and responsive. They kept me informed about every development in my case, and they were always available to answer my questions and address my concerns. They treated me with respect and compassion, and they made me feel like I was their most important client. Finally, after months of intense preparation and negotiation, Paterson Injury Lawyers secured a very substantial settlement for me just before the trial was scheduled to begin.
