Why Clients Choose Onal

An injury lawyer
insurers respect.

Insurance companies count on you settling fast and cheap. John Onal makes sure they don't. He built Onal Injury Law on one principle: every injured client deserves a lawyer who treats their case like the only one that matters — and who the insurance companies already take seriously.

Unlike the high-volume billboard firms that hand your file to whoever is free, John works your case personally, from the first phone call to the final check. Every case is prepared as if it will go to trial, which is exactly why insurers so often decide to pay more rather than face him in court.

If you were hurt in a car accident, truck accident, workplace incident, or through someone else's negligence anywhere in New Jersey or New York, you don't pay anything unless he wins. The risk is his — not yours.

Frequently Asked Questions

Your questions,
answered straight.

How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer in New Jersey?+

Nothing up front. Onal Injury Law works on contingency — you pay no fee unless we recover money for you. Your consultation is always free.

How long do I have to file an injury claim in New Jersey?+

Most New Jersey injury claims must be filed within two years of the accident under N.J.S.A. 2A:14-2. Some deadlines are shorter, so it's best to call as soon as possible.

What is my personal injury case worth?+

It depends on your medical bills, lost income, the severity of your injuries, and the insurance available. We provide an honest assessment of your case for free.

Do I have to go to court?+

Most cases settle. But we prepare every case as if it will go to trial — which is often exactly why insurance companies pay more.

What should I do after a car accident in New Jersey?+

Get to safety and call 911, seek medical care even if you feel fine, document the scene and your injuries, and speak with an attorney before giving any recorded statement to an insurance company.

Does Onal Injury Law serve my area?+

Yes. We serve clients throughout New Jersey — including Bergen County, Elmwood Park, Hackensack, Paterson, and Clifton — as well as Brooklyn and New York City.
