The Todd J. Leonard Law Firm Represents Injury Victims Being Treated at St. Michael’s Medical Center in Newark

At the Todd J. Leonard Law Firm, we understand the challenges you face after a serious accident. Your injuries from your accident may have significantly altered your way of life, including not being able to work, and missed time with your family and friends. Suddenly, rather than living your life the way you were used to, you find yourself in the hospital with a long road to recovery. You very likely have questions: How will you pay for the medical treatment? Who was responsible for your injuries? Can you do anything to hold the at-fault parties responsible? When can you get back to work? Will life ever return to “normal”? All of these are common questions, and while we may not be able to answer them all, we can help you understand the process, what your rights are, and how to realize them.

We represent clients in the following types of accidents:

• Motor vehicle accidents – Everyone who gets behind the wheel of any vehicle takes on a duty to ensure the safety of those around them. When a motorist negligently causes an accident, they can be held financially responsible for your injuries.
• Slip and falls – Property owners, including individuals and businesses, have an obligation to maintain a safe location for invited guests. When a landowner fails to live up to this duty, they can be held liable for any resulting injuries.
• Bicycle and pedestrian accidents – Walking and riding a bicycle are popular ways to get around, especially in the city. However, accidents involving pedestrians and bicyclists tend to be extremely serious. In 2018 alone, there were nearly 6,300 fatal pedestrian accidents and 857 fatal bicycle accidents. The number of people injured is, of course, much higher.
• Product liability cases – Manufacturers must take affirmative steps to ensure that the products they create, market and sell are free from design and manufacturing defects. Common examples of defective products include medical devices, pharmaceuticals, vehicles and other consumer products.
• Medical malpractice and birth injury claims – St. Michael’s Medical Center has only a two-star Patient Experience Rating. Too often, hospital staff members make errors, seriously injuring a patient. Patients can pursue a New Jersey medical malpractice to recover compensation for their injuries.
• Wrongful death claims – A wrongful death claim can be brought when your loved one has died due to another party’s negligence or fault.

If you or a loved one has been injured in any kind of preventable accident, give us a call. We can help answer your questions and explain the personal injury recovery process. If you decide to pursue a claim, we will work tirelessly to help you obtain the compensation you deserve. If you are hospitalized, we understand that you cannot come to our office, so we can arrange to talk with you over the phone or, when permitted, come see you at the hospital.
