Why Should You Hire a New Jersey Car Accident Lawyer?

Just the thought of trying to juggle physical injuries, medical bills, and lost wages after a serious car accident can cause an immense amount of stress.

This is where hiring a skilled New Jersey car accident lawyer can make a difference in the outcome of your case and your overall recovery journey.

When you work with a lawyer at Shebell & Shebell, you gain access to:

1. Experience with New Jersey laws:

New Jersey’s car accident and insurance laws are intricate and constantly evolving. Our attorneys live and breathe them every day.

2. Proper valuation of your claim:

Understanding the true value of your claim goes far beyond tallying up current medical bills. We take a comprehensive approach, considering:

  • Long-term medical needs and rehabilitation costs
  • Future lost earnings and impact on your career trajectory
  • Non-economic damages like pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life
  • Potential for punitive damages in cases of gross negligence 

Our experience allows us to accurately project these costs, so we pursue full and fair compensation after your car accident for your current and future needs.

3. Negotiation skills:

Insurance companies have teams of adjusters and lawyers working to minimize payouts. Our lawyers level the playing field. They have a deep understanding of insurance company tactics and how to counter them.

Our goal is to secure a settlement that truly reflects the impact of the accident on your life, not just what the insurance company initially offers.

4. Court representation:

While many cases settle out of court, we prepare every case as if it’s going to trial. If a fair agreement can’t be reached from the other side, we’re prepared to take your case before a judge and jury. 

5. Peace of mind:

Hiring us allows you to focus on your recovery. We take on the burden of:

  • Handling all communication with insurance companies and other parties
  • Managing deadlines and filing necessary paperwork
  • Gathering and preserving evidence
  • Coordinating with medical providers and other experts
  • Keeping you informed about your case’s progress without overwhelming you with legal jargon.

Remember, the decisions you make in the days and weeks following your accident can have lasting impacts. By choosing Shebell & Shebell, you gain a committed advocate and support system to guide you through this time.

What Our Clients Are Saying
About Their Car Accidents

After being involved in a motorcycle accident, I wasn’t unable to work for over a year, I couldn’t afford to pay the cobra payment to keep my health insurance with my job, so I called Tom Shebell of Shebell and Shebell LLC and they took care of the rest, they returned all my calls in a timely manner, answered any concerns I may have had, and my attorney Mr. Sanders did a great job getting me the compensation I deserved in court. I would highly recommend Shebell & Shebell LLC to anyone needing representation in any legal matters. Thank you Tom, Jack and the rest of the team.
Robert Esposito
Car Accident
When my mom was injured in an automobile accident last year, Tom's expertise was invaluable. During this extremely stressful time, Tom helped tremendously. He came to visit with my mom while she was in a rehab facility to learn the specifics of her case. He dealt directly with law enforcement, insurance companies, and health care facilities as an advocate for my mom and her care. He was kind, compassionate, and always accessible whenever a question or concern arose. Tom settled my mom's case in less than a year. He was knowledgeable, courteous, and professional throughout the entire process.

I was in an accident involving a commercial vehicle. I retained Shebell and Shebell. There was a lot of back and forth with the adversary. They attempted to low ball the case. Tom Shebell, the owner took over my case and we received 10x the amount they were originally trying to offer. Tom really cares about his clients and he wants to make sure they receive the best possible outcome. Thank you

Some cases settle in a few months, while others may take a year or more. We’ll work efficiently to resolve your case as quickly as possible without sacrificing the quality of your representation.
