After a Car Crash: Establishing Liability, Proving Damages, Accessing Insurance
Even relatively simple car accidents — "he ran the stop sign and hit me" — can generate very complicated problems of evidence, procedure, medical treatment and insurance coverage. To make sure that your interests are fully protected across the full range of issues, it makes sense to work with a personal injury lawyer whose ability to present your case to a jury will protect its value in settlement negotiations.
Contact the Somerville auto accident attorneys of Kovacs & Wilson for a free consultation with an experienced and accomplished trial lawyer. Kevin Kovacs has litigation experience extending back 30 years, and he is a Certified Civil Trial Attorney under standards established by the Supreme Court of New Jersey. As of 2006, only 1,534 lawyers of the approximate 60,000 active lawyers had obtained this Board Certification.

When you work with Kovacs & Wilson, you'll be working with a law firm that looks after all the interests at stake in the aftermath of a serious car accident. These include:
- Accurate, complete and timely diagnosis of your injuries, including those to joints and soft tissues
- Proper treatment of injuries like whiplash, shoulder or wrist trauma, brain concussion or mild-to-moderate traumatic brain injury
- Chronic pain problems related to complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) or reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD)
- Medical treatment, hospital and rehabilitative expenses covered under either driver's no-fault policy, your own health insurance or your uninsured or underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) benefits
- Lost income benefits if your accident causes you to miss work for any period of time
- Workers' compensation claims for motorists injured while driving a delivery route or otherwise hurt while working
Most people don't know what they're entitled to after a car accident, and insurance adjusters take advantage of their lack of awareness to settle injury claims on the cheap. Our job as personal injury lawyers is to give you a solid understanding of your rights and help you make the most of them.

As well as auto accident claims, we also work with people whose injuries were suffered while riding a bicycle, walking, jogging, or when struck by a truck or other commercial vehicle.
In many accident cases, there will be an important issue of fact and law to resolve: Did your accident result in a permanent medical impairment that can be diagnosed and proved through medical evidence? Your right to recover the most complete compensation on your claims will depend on your ability to prove such an injury. Our lawyers can explain your rights under New Jersey's injury threshold laws and analyze the evidence that bears on your claims.
The advice of an experienced trial lawyer can help level the playing field when you need to negotiate complex claims with sophisticated insurance adjusters and defense lawyers. To protect your interests after a motor vehicle accident, contact the law firm of Kovacs & Wilson in Somerville.
