- The discovery phase. We formally question everyone who has knowledge of your accident through written questions (interrogatories) and depositions (oral questions).
- Your damages. We work with your doctors (and our network of doctors when necessary) to verify your injuries, determine all the treatment you’ll need for the rest of your life, the cost of your medical care, and all the ways your injuries are affecting every part of your life. We also work to verify your financial damages and all of your personal damages (pain and suffering, for example).

How much time do I have to file my personal injury claim in South Jersey?
Don’t delay. We need to send investigators out to the accident site. We need to question witnesses while their memories are fresh. We want to ensure that you are seeing the doctors you need to see. New Jersey personal injury claims must normally be filed within the two-year statute of limitations.
The time limits for notifying the New Jersey Department of Transportation or other state agencies are much shorter.
What is the value of my personal injury claim?
At Ferrara & Gable, we work with your doctors, employers, and other professionals to document and understand all your damages. We demand compensation for all of the following current and future financial and personal damages:
- Medical costs, which include emergency care, hospital stays, surgeries, physician visits, rehabilitative care, medications, assistive devices, and assistive technology - for as long as you need help.
- Lost income and benefits, including loss of future earnings
- Daily physical pain and emotional suffering
- Property damage includes damage to vehicles and personal possessions
- Scarring and disfigurement
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Loss of bodily function
- Loss of consortium (marital or domestic partner relations)
You may also be entitled to punitive damages for inexcusable conduct like drunk driving.
What costs do I have to pay to pursue my personal injury claim?
Ferrara & Gable represents personal injury clients on a contingency fee basis. This means we only receive compensation if there is a verdict or settlement. Our initial consultation is free.
Should I settle my case?
You should never negotiate a settlement with the insurance companies on your own. Once you settle, you cannot come back for more. We normally begin settlement discussions with the insurance companies for the defendants once our investigation is complete. You decide whether to accept or reject any settlement offers.
Some of the factors that affect whether you should settle or go to trial include:
- What is the value of your claim?
- How much insurance coverage each defendant has
- The strength of your liability claim
- The injuries you have, and the medical care that you will need for the rest of your life
- How much a jury in Haddonfield is likely to award?
If your case settles, we prepare the paperwork for you and the insurance company/companies to sign. You should receive your share shortly after all the paperwork is signed.
We’ll explain the pros and cons of settling your claim versus arguing your case before a jury. Generally, personal injury victims receive a higher amount when a jury hears their cases. There are no guarantees, however. Two juries can decide your case differently.
