This is a 2026 list of New Jersey personal injury law firms with offices across the state, from Bergen County to Cape May. Every firm also represents injured people on the plaintiff side. We grouped them by region and also built a county finder, so you can see which firms have an office near you.
The 25 New Jersey personal injury law firms below each have at least one active New Jersey office, represent injured people on the plaintiff side, work on contingency, and have a public record you can check in the New Jersey Attorney Index. Together, they have offices in 16 of the state's 21 counties.
In other words, this is a list of New Jersey personal injury lawyers and attorneys, organized by the firms they work for. Each firm's attorneys also represent injured people on the plaintiff side.
Onal Injury Law publishes this page and is listed first. However, the numbers are only there to help you move around the page. As a result, they are not a ranking, and no firm paid to be included.
However, this page covers general injury firms. For some cases, a list built around that case type is more useful, because the firms and the rules differ.
We grouped the New Jersey personal injury law firms by where their main offices are, because most people start close to home. Each entry also uses only facts the firm publishes about itself, such as office locations, practice focus, languages and credentials. In other words, we did not score or rate any firm.
Personal injury attorney John Onal also represents people hurt in car, truck, motorcycle and rideshare crashes, falls, workplace accidents, dog bites and wrongful death cases across New Jersey and New York. The firm also handles brain and spinal injury, nursing home and medical malpractice cases.
About our firm: you work directly with your attorney, and the firm represents clients in English, Spanish and Turkish.

This table shows which firms on this list have an office in each county. However, you do not need a firm in your own county. In fact, most injury cases are handled by phone, video and email, and the lawsuit is filed where the law says it belongs.
Office locations also come from each firm's own website as of September 2026. Onal Injury Law serves all 21 counties from its Bergen County offices.
Whichever firm you choose, these rules also shape your claim. In fact, they end more cases than any argument about fault. However, they are simplified, and your own deadline depends on your facts.
First, most New Jersey injury lawsuits must be filed within two years of the injury. A wrongful death claim also generally has two years from the date of death.
However, if a town, county, school district or NJ Transit is at fault, a notice of claim is generally due within 90 days. People miss this one because they only know about the two-year rule.
First, after a car crash, your own PIP coverage pays your medical bills regardless of fault. In addition, gaps in treatment are often used against you later, so treat early and consistently.
If your auto policy has the limitation-on-lawsuit option, you must show an injury in one of six categories to recover for pain and suffering. Read the full breakdown.
You can recover if you were not more than 50% at fault, and any award is then reduced by your share. That is why insurers try to pin some of the blame on you early.
Contingency fees are capped at 33⅓% of the first $750,000 recovered, then 30%, 25% and 20% on each next $750,000. Above $3 million, the fee also needs court approval.
Evidence also has its own clock. For example, truck data and security video are often overwritten within weeks. Read more in the evidence clock in New Jersey truck claims.
These checks work for every one of the New Jersey personal injury law firms on this page, including ours.
First, search the attorney's name in the New Jersey Attorney Index. It is free, and it also takes only a minute.
For example, the Supreme Court of New Jersey certifies attorneys who meet trial experience, peer review and exam requirements. However, it is one fact to weigh, not a guarantee of any result.
Also ask whether the attorney you meet will be the one working your case day to day.
Then compare it with Court Rule 1:21-7. If a firm proposes more than the cap, ask why.
Also, experts, filing fees and records are separate from the fee. For that reason, ask whether the percentage is calculated before or after costs, and who pays costs if there is no recovery.
For example, ask how many cases the attorney has tried to verdict in recent years. In other words, ask for experience you can check.
Finally, compare firms quickly. That is because the two-year deadline and the 90-day public-entity notice do not pause while you decide. More on choosing a New Jersey injury lawyer.
First, start with the type of case and where it happened. Then interview two or three firms and compare them on the seven checks above. For truck, rideshare or work injury cases, the case-type lists linked on this page are also a good starting point.
Most injury firms charge nothing up front and work on contingency. Court Rule 1:21-7(c) caps the fee at 33⅓% of the first $750,000, with lower percentages above that. However, case costs may be handled separately, so ask.
In general, you have two years from the injury under N.J.S.A. 2A:14-2. In addition, a claim against a public entity needs a notice of claim within 90 days under the Tort Claims Act.
No. In fact, most cases are handled by phone, video and email, and the lawsuit is filed in the county where the law says it belongs. Still, the county table above shows which firms have an office near you.
Not always. If no one was hurt, your insurer can usually handle the property damage. However, once there is a medical bill, missed work or a fault dispute, the verbal threshold and the 51% bar start to matter.
It depends on the case. For example, a claim with clear fault and modest injuries can settle in months. In contrast, a disputed case with serious injuries in litigation often takes one to three years.
