How do your Camden County personal injury lawyers fight for accident victims?
Our Camden County personal injury lawyers only handle accident cases. Partner Michael A. Ferrara Jr. has tried more than 250 jury trials during his 50-year career. Partner Megan P. Gable focuses her practice on catastrophic injury cases caused by vehicle accidents, nursing home and long-term care abuse, worksite injuries, and premises liability claims.
At Ferrara & Gable, we’re skilled at every phase of personal litigation, including our initial interview with you, working with investigators and others to determine the cause of your accident, and conducting discovery (oral and written questions) of everyone who has knowledge about your accident or your injuries.
We work to determine which defendants are liable for your accident (sometimes, more than one defendant is liable). Our personal injury attorneys work with your doctors and our medical experts to verify your injuries, the cost of your medical care, every way you’re suffering, and the treatments you need.
When your case is ready for settlement, we prepare formal demand letters and negotiate with the insurance companies. We’re always ready to argue your case before a jury. We work with jury consultants and other experts to persuasively argue your case in court. Our compassion, preparation, advocacy skills, and our record of strong verdicts and settlements are the prime reasons clients choose us and other lawyers refer cases to us.

When should I file my personal injury claim in South Jersey?
We recommend that accident victims contact us as soon as possible so we can investigate what happened while everyone’s memories are fresh, and so we can discuss your medical care.
New Jersey generally has a two-year statute of limitation for injury claims. Some shorter time limits may apply, such as when you have a claim against public entities such as the New Jersey Department of Transportation or other state agencies. Other shorter time limits may also apply. If you have questions about time limitations which may apply to your case, our attorneys can help clarify those.
What damages can I claim in a personal injury case?
At Ferrara & Gable, we demand compensation for all your personal and financial damages. We focus on all the small details that often justify large awards. Generally, the more severe your injuries are, the higher your recovery should be.
We demand compensation for all of the following on behalf of accident victims:
- Medical expenses including ER care, hospitalizations, surgeries, doctor visits, rehabilitative care, medications, and other expenses – for as long as you need medical care
- Lost income, including loss of future earnings
- Physical pain (everything that hurts) and emotional suffering (everything you worry about)
- Property damage, including vehicle repairs
- Scarring and disfigurement
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Loss of bodily function
- Loss of consortium (a loss of intimacy/companionship)
You may also be entitled to punitive damages for unconscionable conduct like drunk driving.
What is the cost of handling my personal injury claim?
Ferrara & Gable handles personal injury claims on a contingency fee basis. This means that we receive a percentage of your recovery based on an amount that we agree to upfront. You have no out-of-pocket costs. Even our initial consultation is free.
Should I settle my case or go to trial?
Normally, when our investigation, medical review, and the discovery process are complete, we’ll prepare a demand letter. The demand letter summarizes why we believe the defendants are liable, and how much the defendants (usually through their insurance companies) should pay. We’ll then attempt to negotiate a settlement with the insurance companies.
The decision whether to settle or go to trial is yours. We’ll review with you the pros and cons of settling your claim. Some of the factors we’ll review with you include:
- What the policy limits are
- The number of defendants involved
- The strength of your liability claim
- What the case is worth
- Your doctors’ reports and how well your doctors can explain your injuries to a jury
- What a jury in Camden County is likely to award
Generally, with a settlement, you receive your share shortly after the settlement paperwork is complete, and you know exactly how much you’ll receive. A jury trial means waiting longer and relying on a jury to decide your fate. Juries often award more than the insurance company offers to settle your case – but there is a risk that the jury can offer less or even deny your claim.
