Union County Personal Injury Lawyer

Serving Clients Throughout the State of New Jersey

Life can come at you in a hurry, and sometimes, the way life hits you is with an injury. When injuries happen due to the negligence of another person or organization, you have the right to seek compensation. A fair financial settlement ought to include reimbursement for expenses that include hospital bills and lost wages. That settlement should also look ahead and include funds for long-term therapy, both physical and mental, and address any interruption in your career path. Finally, knowing that the true cost of injuries can’t always be tangibly measured, there should be appropriate non-economic damages included. 

That’s what should happen. Whether it happens might well come down to the quality of your personal injury lawyer. Attorney Michael Chelland brings principled diligence to his work for clients, and you can count on having a lawyer who will thoroughly address all facets of your case in an effort to help make you whole again.
