Personal Injury FAQ

Q: What does standard of care mean in a medical malpractice case?

A: George J. Shamy Jr. is a results-oriented litigator who has achieved the designation of Certified Civil Trial Attorney from the New Jersey Supreme Court. He received his undergraduate degree from the University of Colorado and his law degree from Seton Hall University. Mr. Shamy is admitted to practice in New Jersey and the United States District Court, District of New Jersey. He has over 30 years of experience in personal injury, business and commercial law, consumer fraud, employment law, and real estate.

Q: Why are medical malpractice cases more difficult to represent than other types of personal injury cases?

A. Insurance companies are more likely to fight than settle a medical malpractice case, which adds extensive casework and considerable expense to preparing the case. Proving medical malpractice requires understanding the technical aspect of medical matters and obtaining medical testimony from experts. The law firm representing a medical malpractice client must absorb the costs of preparing the case. An injury lawyer has to weigh the likelihood of recovery against legal expenses. Only serious injuries causing long-term disability or severe consequences have recoverable damage amounts that are high enough to cover the costs of representation.

Q. If involved in a car accident, should you see a doctor?

A. If you suspect you are injured at all, you should see a doctor. Whiplash and back injury may not show up until the next day or so. Often people do not realize the extent of their injury at the time of the accident. Seeing a doctor from the outset also documents that the accident caused your injury, which is necessary to pursue a claim.

Q. Who is at fault in a car accident?

A. Knowing how a car accident occurred is necessary to determine who is at fault. Physical evidence, such as skid marks, position of the vehicles in relation to each other, and points of impact can be helpful. Because traffic laws define the rules of the road, parties violating traffic laws are often held responsible for causing an accident. If defective auto parts caused a vehicle to be unsafe or malfunction, then the manufacturer could be liable. If unsafe roads created dangerous driving conditions, resulting in an accident, then the government could be sued for damages.

Q. Who pays for damages in a slip and fall case?

A. Generally, businesses are covered by their liability insurance and a residence owner by homeowner's insurance.

Q. What is the NJ statute of limitations for products liability?

A. The statute of limitations (time limit) for filing products liability in NJ is two years from the date of the injury or two years from when the injury was discovered or reasonably should have been discovered.

Q. Are wrongful death damages figured differently when a child or elderly person dies?

A. Generally, loss of financial support is a major aspect of wrongful death damages. When a child or elderly person dies, financial support and loss of training, education, and parental guidance are usually not recoverable damages. However other damages such as loss of companionship, medical costs, and burial expenses may be sought.

Personal Injury Litigation

Some cases require NJ personal injury litigation to obtain the compensation you deserve. When our lawyers at Shamy & Shamy, LLC. discuss your potential case, we need to know every detail of your accident or injury along with all the issues you face. We base personal injury cases on contingency, meaning you owe us no fees unless we recover money on your behalf. Minor injuries are usually not viable to pursue because the recoverable compensation is not adequate to pay our expenses and also cover yours. The first step of any personal injury interview is to evaluate whether or not you have a case – which means establishing the cause of your injury and identifying responsible parties.
