Pedestrian Accident Lawyer Fees in Mays Landing
Pedestrian accident lawyer fees in Mays Landing, New Jersey average about $11,850 — roughly 99% of the U.S. average and below the New Jersey state average of $13,650.
What this typically includes
Investigating the crash and canvassing for video, obtaining the police and 911 records, identifying every applicable policy (the driver’s liability, your UM/UIM and MedPay, PIP where it applies), handling PIP and medical-lien paperwork, valuing the claim, negotiating with the insurers, and filing and litigating a lawsuit if the offer is inadequate. Case costs — records, accident reconstruction, expert reports, depositions, filing fees — are advanced by the firm and repaid from the recovery, separate from the attorney fee.
New Jersey is a choice no-fault state, so whether a pedestrian claim runs through PIP or straight against the driver depends on the coverage in play — though serious injuries can open the full claim either way.
Pedestrian accident attorneys in New Jersey work on contingency — about a third (33.3%) of the recovery before a lawsuit is filed, rising in litigation — so you pay nothing unless you win. Expect the insurer to argue you were jaywalking: New Jersey's comparative-fault rule decides how much that argument costs you, and where the driver fled or was uninsured, your own UM coverage is usually what pays.
