As an Attorney I do not judge people—I represent the Constitution of the United States to the best of my ability. Due process violations are not legal technicalities, due process is essential to fundamental fairness and justice. “The Judge who always likes the result he reaches is a bad judge.” (United States Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, a New Jersey Native, reportedly speaking at SMU)

While all of the accidents can be serious the law may vary as it relates to damages, personal injury protection, and the statutory law that determines the party that is at fault for the injury. The verbal threshold law is particularly significant when assessing the law as it relates to the accident victim. Moreover, even if the accident vehicle is entitled to damages the Attorney may be required to submit certifications and expert reports to assure that the victim obtains the maximum recovery.
