5 STAR RATING ACCIDENT LAWYER IN HACKENSACK 07601 | 201-646-3333

 DO YOU NEED A LAWYER BECAUSE OF AN ACCIDENT YOU WERE INVOLVED?

Car accidents that lead to personal injury can be difficult and unfortunate, but recovery from them is not. Attorney Rafael Gomez helps you through the entire process of obtaining a truce from motor vehicle accidents.

We understand that each Car Accident Case is unique and must be treated with extreme precision. For this reason, the accident lawyer Rafael Gomez is specialized in traffic accidents and personal injury, and assists in the entire legal process.

Motor vehicle accidents often have a number of overlapping factors that can be difficult to understand. Who was the culprit in the accident? Who must pay for damages? Does my insurance cover my injury? Our expert lawyer helps you understand the far-flung implications and guides you to the best possible outcome.

MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENTS

Motorcycle accidents are the leading cause of traffic fatalities in the US. Cases range from minor injuries to serious damages, each of which requires a different legal resolution. Attorney Rafael Gomez is an expert in personal injury and years of experience help you get justice.

Motorcycle Accidents are a slightly nuanced version of Motor Vehicle Accidents. Although the same laws apply to both, motorcycles can be interpreted differently.

Claiming the insurance and obtaining the need for reimbursement are the sole responsibility of the claimant. Due to the many complexities of the law, these needs can last indefinitely. Attorney Rafael Gomez personally reviews the entire case to ensure that an adequate and timely appeal is presented to you.

PALISADES INSURANCE COMPANY VS. HORIZON BLUE CROSS BLUE SHIELD OF NEW JERSEY (L-6136-19, MIDDLESEX COUNTY AND STATEWIDE) 

Plaintiff Palisades Insurance Company appeals from a February 28, 2020 order granting defendant Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey's motion for summary judgment and dismissing its complaint with prejudice. Plaintiff is an automobile insurance company that provides mandatory personal injury protection (PIP) benefits for medical expenses arising out of injuries sustained during car accidents. Pursuant to N.J.S.A. 39:6A-4.3(d), plaintiff allows its customers to designate their health insurer as primary for payment of car-accident-injury-related expenses, which election results in a premium reduction. The insureds named in plaintiff's complaint each elected to have defendant act as the primary payor. Despite the designation, plaintiff received and paid the claims, before they were properly submitted to defendant. On appeal, plaintiff asserts that it has a right to be reimbursed for the medical expenses it voluntarily paid under a theory of subrogation.

After reviewing the provisions of the New Jersey Automobile Reparations Reform Act (No-Fault Act), N.J.S.A. 39:6A-1 to -35, the Coordination of Benefits scheme (COB), N.J.A.C. 11:3-37.1 to -37.14, and case law, the court concluded that no cause of action for subrogation exists to allow a PIP carrier to pursue reimbursement from a health insurer for claims mistakenly paid out of turn. Plaintiff's remedies are to deny the claim upon receipt, recover payments from the medical providers, request that the insureds submit their claims to defendant and pursue an appeal if coverage is denied, or obtain an assignment of rights and pursue the appeals on the insureds' behalf. In addition, when a health carrier is exempt from providing benefits, the COB regulations allow the PIP carrier to recoup the amount of the reduced premium from its insured. None of these remedies were pursued by plaintiff in this case.

The court also concluded that further discovery would be futile, as the sought-after information is not capable of overcoming the legal obstacle faced by defendants: the absence of a legal right of subrogation to recoup payments mistakenly made out of turn.

Hi, my name is Debilak and I use Rafael Gomez as my attorney with my accident case and so far I am very happy with the service.

THIS IS A SAMPLE OF HOW SOME ACCIDENT CASES ARE DECIDED BY THE NJ COURTS. OUR FIRM DID NOT PARTICIPATE AS COUNSEL IN THIS CASE. THIS IS MERELY A SAMPLE SUMMARY FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES. PAST RESULTS DO NOT GUARANTEE FUTURE OUTCOME. THE SELECTION OF AN ATTORNEY IS IMPORTANT. GIVE THIS MATTER CAREFUL THOUGHT. SEE OUR ABOUT PAGE FOR LEGAL ADVERTISEMENT DISCLAIMER. JANET HENEBEMA VS. DOMENICO RADDI, JR. (L-0964-07, ATLANTIC COUNTY AND STATEWIDE) On remand, and ten years after a serious car accident, defendants raised for the first time the affirmative defenses of N.J.S.A. 52:17C-10 (9-1-1 dispatcher immunity) and N.J.S.A. 59:5-4 (failure to provide police protection). We concluded that the judge erred by (1) failing to resolve whether defendants waived the new defenses; and (2) dismissing the complaint relying on Royster v. N.J. State Police, 439 N.J. Super. 554 (App. Div. 2015), aff'd as modified, 227 N.J. 482 (2017) (dismissing a claim under the Americans with Disabilities Act). This case involves a misapplication of Royster v. N.J. State Police, 439 N.J. Super. 554, 561 (App. Div. 2015), aff'd as modified, 227 N.J. 482 (2017), which held that "the doctrine of state sovereign immunity preclude[d] [a] plaintiff's [Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)] claim, even though [the] defendants [had] not fully raise[d] that argument until their motion for a judgment notwithstanding the verdict (JNOV)." Plaintiff filed claims, not under the ADA, but rather, under the New Jersey Tort Claims Act (TCA), N.J.S.A. 59:1-1 to 12-3, which unlike under the ADA, are not federal law claims. By enacting the TCA, the Legislature waived state sovereign immunity, subject to the statute's provisions. Plaintiff appeals from orders dated December 7, 2015 and January 19, 2016 entered on remand granting summary judgment to South Jersey Transportation Authority (SJTA) and the New Jersey State Police (NJSP) (collectively defendants). In support of their motions, defendants belatedly raised the affirmative defenses of N.J.S.A. 52:17C-10 (9-1-1 dispatcher immunity) and N.J.S.A. 59:5-4 (failure to provide police protection). Plaintiff maintains that the judge exceeded the scope of detailed remand instructions from this court and the Supreme Court, and he otherwise erred as a matter of law. In a TCA case, when a public entity substantially waits before raising the affirmative defenses of N.J.S.A. 52:17C-10 and N.J.S.A. 59:5-4, we hold that the judge must first determine whether defendants waived those defenses. That is so because waiver negates reliance on the defenses. If the judge concludes that a public entity timely raised, and has not waived these affirmative defenses, then the judge should address whether dispositive relief is appropriate. Here, the judge granted summary judgment before resolving whether defendants waived the affirmative defenses, even though defendants raised them for the first time on remand, which occurred ten years after the accident; those ten years included three years of extensive pre-trial litigation, a lengthy and expensive trial, an appeal to us, and an appeal to the Supreme Court. We conclude that defendants waived the new affirmative defenses, reverse the orders, and re-remand for a liability trial on an expedited basis due to the age of this case.

HACKENSACK

ACCIDENT ATTORNEY IN HACKENSACK NJ

Hackensack is a city in Bergen County in New Jersey, United States, and serves as its county seat. The area was officially named New Barbadoes Township until 1921, but it was informally known as Hackensack since at least the 18th century. As of the 2010 United States Census, the city's population was 43,010, reflecting an increase of 333 (+0.8%) from the 42,677 counted in the 2000 Census, which had, in turn, increased by 5,628 (+15.2%) from the 37,049 counted in the 1990 Census.

An inner suburb of New York City, Hackensack is located approximately 12 miles (19 km) northwest of Midtown Manhattan and about 7 miles (11 km) from the George Washington Bridge. From a number of locations, the New York City skyline can be seen.

The Metropolitan Campus of Fairleigh Dickinson University straddles the Hackensack River in both Hackensack and Teaneck. Hackensack is also the home of the former New Jersey Naval Museum and the World War II submarine USS Ling. Astronaut Wally Schirra is perhaps Hackensack's most famous native son.

The city has diverse neighborhoods and land uses located close to one another. Within its borders are the prominent Hackensack University Medical Center, a trendy high-rise district about a mile long, classic suburban neighborhoods of single-family houses, stately older homes on acre-plus lots, older two-family neighborhoods, large garden apartment complexes, industrial areas, the Bergen County Jail, a tidal river, Hackensack River County Park, Borg's Woods Nature Preserve, various city parks, large office buildings, a major college campus, the Bergen County Court House, a vibrant small-city downtown district, and various small neighborhood business districts.
