Q: I was in a car accident & the other guy was at fault. My hand is sore. Can I get his insurance to pay me for this in nj?

A: Whether you have a case worth purusing is dependent upon your doctor's findings and the results of any diagnostic testing. X-rays, CT, or MRI is considering "objective medical evidencde" required under the law.

I think you should speak with a personal injury attorney who is Certified by the NJ Supreme Court as a Civil Trial Lawyer who can help you evlaute your position.

A: Yes, you should retain an attorney on contingency fee, which means you don’t pay anything unless you win. You should act quickly because there are statutes of limitations that must be complied with or else you will be forever barred for bringing a claim. Additionally, do not give any statements to your statements to the other parties insurance company without speaking with an attorney. If you need a referral, some of us can provide that if you reach out to us privately.

A: I'm sorry about your accident. I hope everyone involved is okay. The short answer to your question is probably, "YES." It looks like the other side accepted fault, and that removes a major source of obstacles that cause a case to drag on for a long time. Determining if you are entitled to payment (the question you ask) is the issue of damages. No one can tell from the brief facts of the post. I'm glad that your hand is getting better. In terms of not having full usage, it's possible your primary care doctor may want you to see an orthopedic specialist to take a closer look at things, and maybe set up a diagnostic imaging appointment if that hasn't already been done. Many attorneys who handle such cases offer free initial consults without obligation if you wanted to learn more about your rights and options. I hope things continue to improve in terms of regaining full use. Good luck
