Haddonfield Car Accident Lawyers
More than 50 years of experience fighting for South Jersey car accident victims
Car accidents happen throughout Haddonfield and when residents travel to and from Philadelphia, Atlantic City, and other parts of Camden County. Many crashes occur on Routes 41 and 461 and Haddonfield’s local roads. At Ferrara & Gable, we represent anyone inside the car who is hurt and anyone outside, such as pedestrians and bicycle riders. Our Haddonfield car accident lawyers also represent families when car accidents are fatal. Our lawyers have the experience and relationships with investigators, product safety experts, and others to show how your car accident happened and who is responsible. We demand compensation for all your financial and personal damages.
In one illustrative case, we obtained $5.5 million against General Motors because a defective seatbelt caused the paralysis of our client, a 69-year-old man. In another illustrative case, we obtained a $2.3 million verdict by a judge in a car accident case when another driver drove through a flashing red light and a stop sign, killing the husband of a pregnant wife. The husband was the father of their 5-year-old daughter.

What are the different types of car accidents that happen in Haddonfield?
Our Haddonfield car accident attorneys have the experience and professional relationships to handle every type of car accident, including:
- Head-on crashes. These accidents involve two cars striking the other car in the front. They’re usually caused by one driver being in the wrong lane. Common causes include passing when there isn’t enough room, drunk driving, and driver distractions. Head-on collisions often cause catastrophic injuries and fatalities.
- T-bone/broadside accidents. These car accidents involve the front of one car striking the side of another car. They often occur at intersections and when drivers enter a road from a parking lot.
- Rear-end collisions. This type of accident usually is caused by a driver in the rear who was distracted, speeding, or tailgating.
- Single-vehicle accidents. At Ferrara & Gable, we represent passengers when the driver of their car causes an accident. We can represent drivers in single-vehicle accidents if the accident is due to faulty road design or maintenance or due to violations of the New Jersey Dram Shop Act.
- Multiple-vehicle crashes. Our Haddonfield car accident lawyers represent victims when a chain reaction occurs, such as when multiple cars waiting at a traffic light strike each other after an initial rear-end collision. Multiple car accidents also involve a series of separate accidents, such as when many cars try to avoid spilled truck cargo.
- Intersection accidents. Our Haddonfield car accident lawyers regularly handle accidents that occur at intersections due to the failure of a driver to obey red and yellow lights, stop signs, and the rules of yielding.
- Uber and Lyft accidents. Ferrara & Gable understands which insurance companies (whether the insurer of a rideshare company or the driver) are responsible for paying damages when an Uber or Lyft driver is negligent.
- Hit-and-run accidents. We work with the police to track down hit-and-run drivers. We also file uninsured/underinsured (UM/UIM) claims if the hit-and-run driver can’t be found.
- Deadly accidents. Our Haddonfield car accident lawyers represent families when a loved one tragically dies in a car accident.
What injuries do NJ car accidents cause?
Ferrara & Gable works with your physicians and our network of doctors to show what injuries you have, all the treatments you’ll need, why your injuries are causing pain and suffering, why those injuries prevent you from working, and the cost of your medical care. We handle all types of catastrophic, permanent, and serious injuries, including:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs). These injuries often require a lifetime of medical care. The victims may never work again. Victims may have cognitive difficulties in addition to physical and emotional disorders.
- Spinal cord injuries. Damage to the spine can cause paralysis, herniated discs, and other severe disorders. Victims often live with a lifetime of pain and/or loss of bodily function.
- Broken bones. Car accidents commonly cause broken shoulders, clavicles, arms, wrists, hands, and facial bones. Some fractures break the skin and/or break in multiple places.
- Traumatic amputation/loss of limb. If a driver or a passenger bounces around a car or is evicted from the car, or the car strikes a pedestrian or bicyclist – the victims may lose part or all of their arms or legs.
- Internal bleeding and internal organ damage. Car accidents can cause injuries to your lungs, kidneys, spleen, and other organs. Internal bleeding can be life-threatening.
- Whiplash. Rear-end collisions often cause whiplash that occurs when the head and neck rapidly move back and forth. Victims usually need extensive rehabilitative therapy.
- Other types of serious injuries. We also handle:
- Nerve and muscle damage
- Ligament, tendon, and tissue damage
- Shoulder, back, and neck pain
- Burn injuries
