Pennsauken Personal Injury Lawyers

50 years of strong advocacy for South Jersey accident victims

Accidents happen for all sorts of reasons. Among the most common are car, truck, and motorcycle accidents. Nursing home abuse happens much more than it should. Sadly, many accidents are fatal, causing grief and emotional trauma. At Ferrara & Gable, our lawyers only handle personal injury and wrongful death cases. We have the experience and resources to determine how accidents happen and who is responsible. Our Pennsauken personal injury lawyers work with your doctors, employers, and family to show all the medical care you need, the money you’re losing because you can’t work, and all your pain and suffering.

We’re respected across South Jersey for our impressive record of results, which include the following:

  • Class action lawsuits:
    • $ 7.5 billion. Founding attorney Mike Ferrara served as co-counsel in a lawsuit filed by New Jersey Governor Whitman against the tobacco industry for reimbursement of Medicaid costs caused by smoking-related illnesses.
    • $4.85 billion. Our attorneys were part of the group that negotiated this mass settlement for victims of Vioxx across the country, representing close to 100 patients who suffered heart disease and strokes after taking the drug Vioxx, manufactured by Merck.
  • Vehicle accident lawsuits:
    • $7.5 million. Ferrara & Gable attorneys negotiated a settlement for a family when their husband/father tragically died when a tractor-trailer driver struck the man’s car on the NJ Turnpike.
    • $5.5 million. Our Pennsauken personal injury lawyers obtained this amount for a client who was paralyzed from the chest down due to a defective seatbelt in a vehicle manufactured by General Motors.
  • Other million-dollar-plus recoveries:
    • $2.5 million in a construction site accident case for our client who lost his leg and his sight in one eye.
    • $2 million in another construction accident case filed against a general contractor and a subcontractor.
    • $1.8 million in a pedestrian accident case.
    • $1.7 million in a medical malpractice case.

Ferrara & Gable - Cherry Hill Injury Lawyers

How can we help?

Why do Pennsauken clients choose your personal injury lawyers?

Clients recommend us. Insurance companies trust us. Lawyers refer cases to us. We’ve earned our reputation based on our compassion for our clients, our understanding of the law, our persuasive advocacy, and our accomplishments in obtaining numerous strong jury verdicts and settlements. Partner Michael A. Ferrara Jr. has argued more than 250 personal injury cases before juries. Partner Megan P. Gable handles all types of catastrophic, permanent, and serious injuries. She represents clients who are injured in vehicle accidents, cases of nursing home abuse and neglect, wrongful death claims, and many other types of Camden County accidents.

Our lawyers fight for our clients in every phase of your case, including:

  • The investigation. We work with investigators who examine the accident site and speak to witnesses. Our lawyers work with the police, traffic reconstruction experts, product safety experts, nursing home professionals, building code officials, and other experts.
  • Discovery. Our Pennsauken personal injury lawyers question every defendant in writing (a process called interrogatories) and in person (a process called depositions). We also prepare you for the questions the defense lawyers are likely to ask.
  • Damages. We work with your doctors (and our network of medical professionals when necessary) to:
    • Verify your injuries
    • Understand all the medical treatments you’ll need
    • Review the complications that may arise
    • Document the cost of your medical care
    • Explain how your injuries prevent you from working
    • Show how your injuries are making your life painful and difficult
    • We also work with your employer, financial professionals, vehicle repair mechanics, and others to verify all your financial damages.
  • Negotiation and trial. We prepare formal demand letters that explain how much we think your case is worth. We then negotiate with the insurance companies to try and reach a proper settlement. If a settlement can’t be reached, we’re ready and skillful at trying your case before a jury.

How much time do I have to file my personal injury claim in South Jersey?

Don’t wait. If you are in any type of accident, contact us as soon as possible. We need to investigate the accident site quickly. We need to speak with witnesses while their memories are fresh. We want to ensure you are seeing the doctors who can best help you. While you generally have two years to file a personal injury claim in New Jersey, there are shorter notice requirements if a governmental agency is involved. You need to notify your own insurance carrier promptly.

Our lawyers move quickly once you contact us to pursue your claim.

How much is my Pennsauken personal injury claim worth?

At Ferrara & Gable, we work with you, your doctors, and everyone else who can verify and explain your damages. Our lawyers demand compensation for all your current and future damages, including:

  • Medical expenses and bills, including emergency care, surgeries, hospitalizations, doctor visits, rehabilitative therapy, assistive help, and medications.
  • Lost income and benefits, including compensation for a long-term or permanent disability
  • Daily physical pain and emotional suffering
  • Property damage, including vehicle damage
  • Scarring and disfigurement
  • Loss of bodily function
  • Loss of consortium (marital or domestic partner relations)
  • Not being able to enjoy your life like you did before the accident.

You may also be entitled to punitive damages for unconscionable conduct like drunk driving.

Do I need to advance any costs or fees for filing my personal injury claim?

No. Ferrara & Gable handles personal injury claims on a contingency fee basis. We only receive compensation if your case is successful. Our initial consultation is free. You do not have to pay any costs in advance.

Should I settle my accident case?

Do not negotiate a settlement on your own. The insurance companies are not your friends, and they won’t tell you if you could be claiming additional compensation. We understand everything you’re entitled to. We negotiate when the status of your injuries is clear. If you settle too early or on your own, you’ll receive a lot less than you deserve.

Some of the settlement factors our Pennsauken insurance companies consider include:

  • Understanding how much your claim is worth
  • Understanding how much the insurance companies are likely to initially offer and how much they’ll actually settle for
  • How the accident happened, who is liable, and why they’re liable
  • The insurance policy limits
  • The pros and cons of settling versus going to trial
  • What injuries do you have, what treatments do you need, and how are your injuries affecting your ability to work, live, and enjoy your life and family

If your case settles, our Pennsauken personal injury lawyers prepare the appropriate release forms. Normally, you should receive your share within a few weeks from the settlement date.
