Elizabeth Personal Injury Lawyers Aggressively Advocate to Protect Accident Victims’ Rights
Personal injury victims have the legal right to claim financial compensation when another person or entity behaved recklessly or negligently and caused an accident. While this is a well-established fact, the accident victim, unfortunately, is the party who is responsible for pursuing and protecting that right to compensation. If you have suffered injuries in an accident caused by someone else’s carelessness, it can be difficult to focus on the financial aspects of your case, especially if those injuries were serious. At Lombardi & Lombardi, P.A., our dedicated Elizabeth personal injury lawyers aggressively advocate protecting accident victims’ rights throughout NJ.

Results-Oriented Injury Lawyers Fight to Establish Clients’ Right to Compensation in Elizabeth, NJ Personal Injury Cases
The basic premise behind any personal injury claim, whether in the courtroom or elsewhere, is that a third party (which can include individuals or companies) was negligent and caused the accident which, in turn, caused you to suffer physical harm. Several essential elements must necessarily be established in every personal injury case, including:
- Negligence. Establishing negligence requires showing that the party that caused the accident deviated from the acceptable standard of care—generally, a “reasonable person” standard that requires examining how a reasonable person would have behaved under the circumstances to prevent the accident from happening.
- Causation. This element requires establishing a causal link between the defendant’s actions and your injuries—in other words, a showing that you were injured because of the other party’s careless actions.
- Damages. We will also fight to show how you suffered as a result of the accident—both financially, in the form of the cost of medical treatment for your injuries, and from a more subjective standpoint that involves looking to how the injuries impacted your life.

About Elizabeth, New Jersey
Elizabeth is the largest city in Union County, New Jersey, and had an estimated population of 130,215 as of 2017. While Elizabeth was originally settled by the British, Elizabeth was not named for Queen Elizabeth but was named for the wife of Sir George Carteret, one of the original property owners in New Jersey’s colonial days. Elizabeth, then known as “Elizabethtown”, was actually the original capital of New Jersey and has more recently been named as one of the 50th Greenest Cities in the U.S. by Popular Science magazine.
Today, Elizabeth is divided into several unique districts, including the Midtown commercial district, Bayway (which is home to a robust Polish community), the Downtown port area, and the Elmora and Elmora Hills neighborhoods, which house some of Elizabeth’s best restaurants.
Frequently Asked Questions About Personal Injury Cases in Elizabeth, NJ
Every formal personal injury lawsuit begins with filing an initial complaint with the courts. This document will include information such as the name of the responsible party (the defendant), when the accident occurred and how the defendant’s actions or omissions caused the accident. We will also file a case information statement with the complaint that helps the courts keep track of your case. The complaint will be served upon the defendant, who will then have an opportunity to file a document known as the “answer” to the complaint. From this point, the case will usually proceed to the discovery phase, where we gather evidence necessary to argue your case before a judge and jury.
While accepting workers’ compensation benefits in New Jersey precludes your right to bring a traditional personal injury lawsuit against your employer, our experienced lawyers can evaluate your case to determine whether a third party also contributed to the accident. Workplace accidents often involve situations where the employer was not the only negligent party. We can also help you with your worker’s compensation claim itself.
