What types of car accident cases do you handle in Pennsauken?
Our Pennsauken car accident lawyers have the experience and working relationships to handle all types of car accidents, including:
- Head-on crashes. These accidents involve the fronts of two cars striking each other because one driver is clearly going the wrong way. Head-on crashes occur when a driver passes improperly, makes a wrong turn onto a one-way street, drives up a down ramp, or for other reasons. Common causes include drunk driving, driver distraction, and speeding. Many head-on crashes are fatal.
- Broadside accidents/T-bone accidents. These accidents occur when the front of one car strikes the side of another car. They usually occur at intersections, when drivers fail to look before entering a road, and for other reasons.
- Rear-end car accidents. In these accidents, the front of the car in the rear strikes another vehicle that is waiting in line – for example, waiting for a red light to turn green. The car in the rear is almost always at fault.
- Single-vehicle accidents. Passengers can file a personal injury lawsuit against a driver if the driver’s negligence causes an accident. Both the driver and a passenger can file a lawsuit against:
- The manufacturers of defective car parts
- Taverns and bars that serve alcohol to minors or drivers who are visibly intoxicated based on the New Jersey Dram Shop Act
- The governmental entities that are responsible for defective roads or road maintenance
- Multiple-vehicle crashes. At Ferrara & Gable, our lawyers handle claims involving more than one collision– such as when a rear-end crash causes a chain reaction of crashes.
- Intersection accidents. Many car accidents in Pennsauken happen because a driver enters an intersection without yielding the right way or waiting for the light to change. Some drivers fail to complete their turn in time. Our Pennsauken car accident lawyers work to show step-by-step how intersection accidents happen.
- Uber and Lyft accidents. At Ferrara & Gable, we understand the unique challenges involved in rideshare accidents – whether the driver was transporting a passenger, waiting for rides, or off-duty.
- Hit-and-run accidents. Our Pennsauken car accident lawyers file uninsured/underinsured (UM/UIM) claims with your own UM/UIM company if the hit-and-run driver can’t be discovered.
- Fatal accidents. At Ferrara & Gable, we represent families when a parent, child, spouse, or domestic partner dies in a Pennsauken car accident.
What types of injury claims do you handle?
Our Pennsauken personal injury lawyers handle all types of serious injuries, including catastrophic and permanent injuries, such as:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs). A TBI can occur if a driver/passenger strikes their head on another rider, the dashboard, or any other part of the car. A TBI can also happen without physical contact if the victim’s head moves when the crash occurs. We also represent pedestrians and bicycle riders who suffer traumatic brain injuries.
- Spinal cord injuries. We represent car accident victims who suffer paralysis, herniated discs, nerve injuries, and other spinal cord disorders. Many spinal cord injury victims live with constant/chronic pain.
- Traumatic amputation/loss of limb. Our Pennsauken car accident lawyers represent victims who lose part or all of a leg due to sharp metals and glass, forceful impacts, or surgeries necessary to save their lives and as much of their limb as possible.
- Fractures. We work with orthopedic doctors when a car accident causes a complex, compound, comminuted, or simple fracture – or multiple broken bones.
- Internal bleeding and organ damage. Damage to the lungs, kidneys, and other organs can be life-threatening. Survivors often live with a great amount of pain and stress.
- Whiplash. This car accident injury, most common in rear-end accidents, happens when a rider’s neck moves rapidly back and forth.
- Other types of serious injuries. We also handle:
- Nerve damage
- Muscle, tissue, ligament, and tendon damage
- Neck, shoulder, and back pain
- Burn injuries
- Scarring and disfigurement
- Cardiac disorders
- Loss of vision or hearing
- Emotional trauma, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
- Other serious injuries

Our Pennsauken car accident lawyers file car accident lawsuits against every person or business responsible for your car accident, including:
