Why Barreto Law Firm
What Sets Us Apart in Elizabeth Injury Cases
No Fee Unless We Win
Zero upfront cost. Our fee comes only from what we recover, and only if we win. If we don't, you owe nothing.
Personal Attorney Access
You work directly with Attorney Elizabeth Barreto — not shuffled between paralegals or case managers.
Se Habla Español
Our bilingual team ensures nothing gets lost in translation when it matters most for your case.
Our Approach
You Focus on Healing. We Handle the Legal Battle.
An unexpected injury disrupts everything — your health, your income, and your sense of security. The insurance company on the other side has one goal: pay you as little as possible.
We flip that dynamic. From the moment you call us, we take over all communication with insurers, gather evidence, build your claim, and push hard for every dollar your case is worth.
About Our FirmDon't Wait — New Jersey's Statute of Limitations
Most personal injury claims in New Jersey must be filed within 2 years of the date of injury. Claims against government entities — including the City of Elizabeth — have much shorter notice deadlines, sometimes as little as 90 days. Missing these deadlines means losing your right to recover.

Critical Steps to Take After an Accident in Elizabeth
1
Get Medical Attention — Even If You Feel Fine
Concussions, internal trauma, and soft tissue injuries often have delayed symptoms. A same-day medical visit documents your injury from the start.
2
Photograph Everything at the Scene
Take photos of all vehicles, road conditions, hazards, property damage, and any visible injuries before anything is moved or cleaned up.
3
Get Witness Names and Numbers
Anyone who saw what happened can become a critical witness. Collect their contact information immediately while everyone is still present.
4
Do Not Give a Recorded Statement
The other party's insurer may call quickly. You have no legal obligation to give a recorded statement before speaking to an attorney — and it can be used against you.
5

Common Questions
Elizabeth Personal Injury: FAQs
Two years from the injury date for most claims. Government entity claims can be as short as 90 days. Contact us immediately to protect your rights.
You can still recover if you're less than 50% at fault — your award is reduced by your percentage. We'll evaluate this during your free consultation.
Nothing upfront. We work on contingency — our fee comes only from what we recover, and only if we win.
Not before speaking to us. Adjusters are trained to minimize your claim. Let us handle all communication from the start.
It depends on injury severity and insurer cooperation. We'll give you an honest timeline during your free consultation and keep you updated throughout.
Medical costs, lost wages, pain and suffering, disability, and more. In some cases, punitive damages also apply. We'll assess your full damages during your free review.
