Personal Injury Litigation in NJ

Some cases require NJ personal injury litigation to obtain the compensation you deserve. When our lawyers at Shamy & Shamy, L.L.C. 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.
