Life can take unexpected turns, leaving you injured and vulnerable. If a vehicle, workplace or property incident caused your injuries, you deserve fair compensation.
At Jacobs, Schwalbe & Petruzzelli, P.C., our award-winning team has been successfully helping Voorhees residents with personal injury claims since 1977. We have recovered millions for our clients and have the experience and knowledge to fight for the compensation you deserve. We offer free consultations, and you pay nothing unless we win.
Categories of Personal Injury Cases We Handle
Our experienced attorneys also handle Workers’ Compensation and Social Security disability cases, so one legal team can pursue every claim tied to your injury. Our personal injury practice includes:
- Car accidents: We pursue vehicle accident claims against distracted, speeding, and impaired drivers.
- Truck accidents: In truck crash cases, the driver, trucking company, and cargo loader may share responsibility.
- Motorcycle accidents: Many motorcycle crashes happen when drivers fail to see a rider before turning.
- Pedestrian accidents: New Jersey drivers must stop for pedestrians in crosswalks, and those who don’t may face a pedestrian injury claim.
- Slip-and-fall or trip-and-fall accidents: Wet floors, broken stairs, and icy walkways can make a property owner liable.
- Dog bites: New Jersey holds dog owners strictly liable for most bites, even if the dog never showed aggression before.
- Premises liability: Inadequate security and falling objects at stores or apartment complexes can support a claim.
- Product liability: Manufacturers may answer for defective designs, manufacturing flaws, and inadequate warnings.
- Civil rights: Excessive force or other misconduct by government officials may support a civil rights claim.
- Wrongful death and fatal accidents: Surviving family members may recover lost financial support and funeral expenses after a loved one’s death.
- Catastrophic injuries: Spinal cord injuries, brain injuries, and amputations often require multiple surgeries and are claims that account for lifelong care.
One workplace accident can lead to a workers’ compensation claim, a lawsuit against a negligent contractor, and a Social Security Disability claim. Our attorneys handle all three to maximize your overall compensation.
How Long Do You Have to File a Personal Injury Claim in Voorhees?
New Jersey generally gives injured people two years from the date of the injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. Families in wrongful death cases have two years from the date of death.
Claims against a public entity, such as Voorhees Township or Camden County, require a written notice of claim within 90 days of the injury. Missing either deadline can bar recovery entirely, so it is important you consult with an attorney as soon as possible after an injury.
Steps To Take After An Injury
If you have been injured:
- Seek medical attention immediately;
- Document the accident scene and your injuries;
- Gather witness information;
- Report the incident to the appropriate authorities; and
- Contact our office for a free case evaluation.
The steps you take or fail to take after an accident can impact your claim. Do not wait too long to take action.
Maximizing Your Injury Claims Financial Recovery
Personal injury claims can provide compensation for:
- Medical expenses;
- Lost wages;

- Property damage; and
- Future medical care and lost earning capacity.
Our main goal is to help ensure that every client we serve receives the compensation they are entitled to under the law.
