Car Accident Attorneys Serving New Jersey
As helpful as motor vehicles are to our daily lives, they can quickly become dangerous if drivers do not exercise enough caution on the roadways. Over the years, millions of people have had their lives forever altered due to the negligence of another party. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), 564 people lost their lives on New Jersey roadways in 2018. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) states that around three million people are injured each year in car accidents around the country.
Although car accidents are not always fatal, they can change a person’s life in devastating ways. Beyond physical damage, car accident victims may suffer intense mental and financial setbacks long after their bodily injuries have healed. Even with new nationwide campaigns to stop harmful practices like texting and driving, car accidents still occur on a daily basis, and innocent victims are suffering the consequences of negligent drivers’ actions.

Common Causes of Car Accidents That May Entitle You to Compensation
Wherever there are cars on the roads, there are bound to be accidents. However, many car accidents are needlessly caused by negligence, which comes in many shapes and sizes, according to the American Bar Association. This includes distracted driving, intoxicated driving, and reckless driving. Drivers who choose to take their attention from the road, even if they do not intentionally mean to, endanger people’s lives on the road. Unfortunately, these types of negligent actions still cause millions of accidents each year.
In the past few decades, seatbelt initiatives have saved countless lives during car accidents—as have campaigns to end distracted driving practices. In fact, according to the CDC, seatbelts are estimated to have saved 255,000 lives between 1975 and 2010. Even so, many innocent people are still thrust into harm’s way. As individuals who share our nation’s roadways, we all must do our part to make the road a safer place. After all, wearing seatbelts can only do so much when there is so much to lose.
Nothing but praise for Maggiano, DiGirolamo, and Lizzi. I have never seen such a fantastic display of teamwork at all levels of the firm. (As an aisde, everyone one who works at the firm was extremely courteous and kind – character traits that one would not typically associate with a law firm. )

I have been a practicing personal injury lawyer in New Jersey for over twenty years. I knew Michael Maggiano by reputation and when I was involved in an automobile myself I went to him to handle my case. I learned that the reputation was well founded and he has an outstanding law firm, very efficient and professional. He and his staff were always available and helpful during every step of the process and the resultant settlement was excellent. I could not recommend Mr. Maggiano and his firm more highly. Thank you to all at Maggiano, DiGirolamo & Lizzi .
It was a pleasure having Maggiano, DiGirolamo & Lizzi take on my case. After a car accident left me jobless for several months, they helped get me back on my feet. They went above and beyond the call of duty!
