As the name implies, personal injury lawsuits deal with some sort of physical injury caused by the negligence of another. An individual can be found liable for your injuries if he or she displayed careless conduct or failed to act when a reasonable person would have acted. Regardless of intent, if someone acts—or fails to act—outside the standard of care of a reasonable person, he or she could be found liable for your injuries.

Mike Maggiano is one of the best medical malpractice lawyers in New Jersey. He works tirelessly for his clients, and is sensitive to their needs. He generously gives of his time to other lawyers in New Jersey, one on one and by teaching other lawyers at seminars. Mike is sought after around the country by people who have been victims of medical malpractice. I can't recommend Mike highly enough.
