This is for Rob DelauriI am so Very Pleased with Your law services. You were very responsive to me on your chat message area, on your Google site, responding immediately through the chat, and called me right away, unlike any other attorney firm I tried to contact no one actually responded to this day. You kept me well informed about everything, and about the progress you were making on my behalf. I am very pleased at what I received and would like to thank you for a job well done with such a confusing case!

Robert DiLauri is the utmost professional. Due to my work schedule, I sent him an email on the weekend, and he replied immediately. I'm in the process of hiring a GC for a major home improvement project and the contract i was given was a bit one sided. Robert redlined the contract to achieve the proper consumer protections for me and my family. Knowledgeable and responsive lawyers are hard to find for jobs such as this, but Robert treated me and my task with great respect and professionalism and followed up with a phone call to make sure I was satisfied. I would recommend Robert and his firm to others seeking advice and legal representation.

My experience with Rob and Andre from Di Lauri & Hewitt was nothing short of exemplary! After dealing with a long, drawn out case for over a year, during which I felt inadequately represented and concerned about the lack of follow-through, I was thrilled to have them both protect me.Upon engaging with them, they were immediately taking action! They were proactive in keeping me informed throughout the process, which I appreciated so much. They were efficient, seamless in how they managed all tasks, allowing me to focus on other matters and relieving that burden for me!Their collaborative approach and effective communication with all involved parties led to a swift and outstanding settlement. Rob and Andre's commitment to their clients is clear in every one of your interactions. They are passionate about what they do, their clients and also operate at the highest professional standards.I would highly recommend their services for anyone in need of legal representation! They are incredible people that are not only EXPERTS, but love helping people. Thank you, Rob and Andre, for your exceptional performance.

His knowledge, experience, and expertise related to personal injury cases made him easy to work with.

Robert DiLauri is wonderful! He is so incredibly helpful, compassionate, sincere and genuine. I engaged his firm during a very difficult time in my life. Robert always made time for me, listened to my concerns and made my feel like a person, not a checkbook. His expert knowledge of the law coupled with his innate kindness is what sets him apart from other attorneys. He's all about helping people and goes above and beyond to do so. I've recommended family, friends and even strangers. If you need an attorney, he's the one to call. You will not be disappointed.

It’s important to note that personal injury law aims to restore the injured party to the position they were in before the injury, insofar as it is possible through monetary compensation. This may include covering medical expenses, loss of income, property damage, and non-economic damages such as pain and suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life.

In a personal injury claim, the plaintiff must demonstrate that the defendant had a duty of care towards them, that this duty was breached, and that the breach directly resulted in their injury. The liability is often determined on the basis of negligence, meaning that the defendant failed to exercise reasonable care in their actions.

Overall, personal injury law plays a crucial role in ensuring that individuals are held accountable for their actions and that victims get the compensation they rightly deserve. It seeks to discourage negligent behavior, encourage safety, and provide a means of recovery for those who have been injured through no fault of their own.

In Bergen County, our experienced personal injury lawyers provide legal services covering a wide range of injuries including:

• Bicycle accidents
• Car accidents
• Rideshare (Uber & Lyft) accidents
• Motorcycle accidents
• Slip-and-fall accidents
• Semi-truck and truck accidents
• Pedestrian accidents
• Construction accidents
• Workers’ compensation claims
• Personal injury defense
• Dog bites
• Nursing home neglect
• Premises liability

Each of these instances requires a unique approach and understanding, tailored to the specific circumstances surrounding the incident. We are committed to providing comprehensive legal support for victims of these unfortunate events, ensuring they receive the compensation they deserve.

Understanding the Financial Implications of Personal Injury in Bergen County

The financial burden of personal injury in Bergen County can be daunting, with the costs determined by the injury’s severity, length of recovery, and indirect costs related to the incident. Our lawyers meticulously account for both direct costs like surgeries, medication, rehabilitation, and indirect costs such as lost income and lifestyle modifications when working to secure fair compensation that genuinely reflects the impact of your injury.

Exploring Various Forms of Compensation in Injury Claims

• The realm of injury claims is broad, encompassing individualized categories tailored to specific incidents or injuries. This includes areas such as personal injury, motor vehicle incidents – that could happen in Bergen County or anywhere within the scope of New Jersey law, and medical malpractice among others. Each category offers unique forms of compensation for victims. This article discusses the different types of compensation available in injury claims:

Tangible Damages — These serve as the foundation of compensatory damages, accounting for specific monetary losses directly related to the accident. The main objective of tangible damages is to return the victim’s financial situation to its pre-accident state. This category includes expenses like:

• Medical costs: This covers hospital fees, the price of medications, and expenses related to rehabilitation therapies.
• Lost earnings: This refers to the income the victim missed out on due to their inability to work post-accident.
• Damages to property: This caters to the repair or replacement cost incurred due to the accident.

Intangible Damages — This category caters to losses that are difficult to quantify, such as physical discomfort, emotional suffering, and loss of companionship. The estimation of intangible damages hinges on the unique circumstances of each case. Some instances include:

• Physical pain and emotional distress: This addresses the physical and emotional aftermath of the injuries.
• Psychological trauma: This considers the psychological impacts of the accident.
• Loss of companionship or consortium: This involves the relational loss experienced due to a family member’s injuries.

Punitive Damages — This category is intended to penalize the accountable party for their negligent or intentional wrongdoing. Notably, punitive damages are not as common as tangible and intangible damages. They are typically awarded in cases where the defendant’s behavior is particularly reprehensible.

Symbolic Damages — This category is awarded when the victim hasn’t incurred significant monetary loss, but a wrongdoing has occurred nonetheless. Symbolic damages serve as a token, signifying the victim’s legal right to compensation.

Compensation can be paid in numerous ways. The most prevalent method is a one-time lump-sum payment, wherein the entire compensation is paid in full at once. Conversely, structured settlements and annuities provide for compensation disbursements over a certain duration, allowing the victim to receive steady payments.
