Auto Collisions - Truck Accidents - Motorcycle Wrecks
Motor vehicle accidents are responsible for thousands of serious injuries and deaths each year in New Jersey and New York. Whether it occurs in the Holland Tunnel, Route 1, Route 9, Kennedy Boulevard, or on the New Jersey Turnpike, a serious accident is more than a minor inconvenience. In addition to the physical consequences of a car, truck, or motorcycle accident, a crash means lost work and income, property damage to the vehicle, and anxiety about paying for everything. When your accident was caused by the negligence or carelessness of another person, you may be able to obtain compensation for your costs, relieving some of the uncertainty, and stress. Contact a motor vehicle accident attorney at Koles, Burke & Bustillo, L.L.P. to schedule a free consultation on any accident cases to learn about your rights and your options.
Catastrophic injuries
When a car accident involves high speeds, large trucks, or drunk driving, the accident often results in catastrophic injuries or death. Our clients have come to us with spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, amputations, and burns. Injuries such as these may require lifetime care for the victim. He or she may never be able to work again; changes in skills and abilities resulting from the accident may force the injured person to work in an entirely different and lower paying job. Scarring from burns and lacerations may require multiple surgeries and lengthy hospital stays. Our attorneys work with vocational specialists, medical experts, and life care planners to determine the lifetime cost of motor vehicle accident injuries.
We investigate
We have seen severe injuries caused by a failure to adapt to road conditions, failure to stop at red lights and stop signs, and failure to signal and maintain a proper lookout for other vehicles, pedestrians, and bicycles. Such car accidents, whether in the Lincoln Tunnel or on Route 3 or Route 21 in New Jersey, need to be investigated thoroughly to determine the facts. Our law firm uses accident reconstructionists, investigators who are retired police officers, videographers, and other experts to build strong cases for clients.
Accepting wrongful death cases
Our lawyers are sensitive to the pain and anxiety clients experience after a serious crash involving a semi truck or other car. We marshal all our resources to help deal with the medical and legal issues they face, working to obtain the compensation they deserve and the medical treatment they need. When a serious car accident results in the death of a loved one, we will pursue wrongful death actions to secure payment that may be able to help grieving family members begin to put their lives together again.
Uninsured or underinsured motorists
If your car accident involved an uninsured or underinsured motorist, our attorneys can help you secure payment from your own insurance carrier for your injuries and other costs of the crash. To learn more about this type of insurance coverage, or about any aspect of a motor vehicle accident in New Jersey or New York, contact Koles, Burke & Bustillo, L.L.P., in Jersey City, Bayonne, and New York.
