The Dos and Don'ts of New Jersey Winter Driving

Tragically, the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund will be cutting remaining payouts by as much as 70 percent for some claimants. The Fund has already granted tens of thousands of awards, and still has tens of thousands more pending.

Tens of thousands of people are killed in motor vehicle accidents in the United States every year. At Eisbrouch Marsh, our experienced accident attorneys have seen with their own eyes how a serious crash upends the lives of its victims. Medical bills, lost wages, missed work days – these are just some of the ways your life may have been affected. You may also be dealing with emotional trauma, mental anguish, physical pain and anxiety. When an accident is caused through no fault of your own, you deserve fair and complete compensation for your injuries.

The Victim Compensation Fund, established under the James Zadroga Act, reviews claims from people who were sickened by the attacks. Cancer, respiratory illness and other health conditions may qualify. The attorneys at Eisbrouch Marsh can determine if you are eligible and help you with all aspects of completing and submitting your claim.

Now that it's January, winter weather is surely right around the corner in New Jersey. There's nothing like a weekday winter storm to throw a wrench in your commute. Everything tends to be more difficult, from getting the kids to and from school, to getting yourself to work, the grocery store, the gym, etc.

We put our children on school buses trusting their safety is prioritized above all else – above taking a wrong turn or running late. Unfortunately, our state learned in the cruelest way possible last spring that safety is not guaranteed.

For the car accident victim, time is of the essence and accurate information is necessary. The aftermath of a crash can be overwhelming and frustrating. You deserve to know exactly what your options are for pursuing compensation for your injuries and other damages.

Hiring a lawyer is exceedingly advantageous, although not required by the government in order to file a Victim Compensation Fund claim.
