Car crash victims, workers injured on the job, and others throughout New Jersey trust their claims with our firm for many reasons. Among them:

We Offer Well-Rounded Experience And A Record Of Results

It’s essential that your lawyer have years of experience fighting for compensation on behalf of the injured. It’s even better if your lawyer also knows firsthand how insurance companies operate, defend and evaluate claims.

Our attorney, Anthony J. Murgatroyd, spent years as house counsel at an insurance company before going into private, plaintiff-side practice. As a result, he has insight into the defenses insurers frequently use and, more importantly, has the ability to anticipate and respond to these defenses in a way that few injury attorneys possess. He combines this knowledge of the other side with his extensive experience helping New Jersey accident victims to offer truly well-rounded representation.

Our office staff is also highly experienced and includes a former Director of Rehabilitation from a major New Jersey hospital.

The experience our attorney and staff bring to each case shows in our results. We have successfully won numerous six- and seven-figure awards for clients from all walks of life.
