That is how many new injury cases I take on in a month. Then I stop until the next one. Fewer files means you get me on the phone, not an intake line.
Hamilton Padgett Rinaldi, LLP. Personal injury, trucking and medical malpractice. I have practised in New Jersey since 2010.
I take on fifteen new New Jersey injury cases a month. That is the cap. Once it is reached I stop taking new files until the following month.
Every injury lawyer works on contingency, so that is not a service, it is the industry. What actually differs is whether you ever speak to the lawyer. Fifteen is roughly what one person can carry and still answer the phone.
It also means help with the parts nobody else walks you through. Your car. Opening your treatment coverage properly. Working out what the bills actually are. I cannot promise how any of those turn out, and some of it needs you to chase things on your end, but you will not be doing it alone or guessing.
And that help is free whether or not I take your case. If I am not the right person for it, I will still tell you what the bill in your hand is, whether your own policy covers your treatment, and whether a deadline is running that you have never heard of.
I was admitted here in 2010. I clerked in Monmouth County, spent three years on the defense side, and have represented injured people in New Jersey ever since. I am the managing partner of Hamilton Padgett Rinaldi, LLP.
New Jersey sits near the top of the I-95 corridor. Savannah sits near the bottom. A truck that leaves the Port of Savannah is in New Jersey the next day.
A case that starts in one state and ends in another does not have to change hands. That matters most in trucking, where the driver, the carrier, the insurer and the collision are often in four different places.
It also means our firms are not guessing about the law in either place. Hamilton & Padgett has tried and resolved cases in Georgia for years, and I have done the same in New Jersey since 2010.
Four things I wrote for people who have been in a crash in New Jersey.
I have litigated cases in every county in New Jersey and I take cases anywhere in the state.
Most New Jersey auto policies carry a limitation on lawsuit option, often called the verbal threshold. It restricts what you can recover for pain and suffering unless your injury falls into specific categories.
Whether it applies to you depends on the policy option you selected, which most people do not remember choosing. It is one of the first things to check on any New Jersey auto case and it changes what a claim is worth.
