Why It Matters
An unexpected injury can upend every part of your life — your health, your income, and your peace of mind. Medical bills pile up while you're unable to work, and the insurance company on the other side is focused on paying you as little as possible.
Barreto Law Firm represents injured people throughout Newark and Essex County. We investigate what happened, deal directly with insurers on your behalf, and fight for the full compensation your injury deserves — so you can focus on getting better.
Unlike large firms that hand your case to a paralegal, Attorney Elizabeth Barreto provides direct personal attention from intake through resolution.
You Shouldn't Have to Face This Alone
$0
You pay nothing up front. We handle every personal injury case on a contingency fee — our fee comes only from what we recover for you, and only if we win. If we don't win, you owe us nothing.
The Human Cost
Common Injuries We See in Newark Cases
Accidents can cause injuries that range from temporary setbacks to permanent, life-altering conditions. The severity of your injury directly affects the value of your claim.
Traumatic brain injuries & concussions
Spinal cord injuries & paralysis
Fractures & crush injuries
Amputations & nerve damage
Herniated discs & back injuries
Wrongful deathTypes of Personal Injury Claims We Handle in Newark
Car Accidents
Route 1&9, the Turnpike, and Jersey City's busy streets see heavy daily traffic and frequent collisions caused by distracted or negligent drivers.
Truck Accidents
Collisions with commercial trucks near the ports, warehouses, and interstates often cause catastrophic, life-altering injuries.
Slip & Fall
Property owners must keep sidewalks, stairwells, and stores reasonably safe. When they don't, serious injuries follow.
-
Most personal injury claims must be filed within two years of the date of injury. Claims against a government entity — including the City of Newark or NJ Transit — have much shorter notice requirements. Contact us as soon as possible to protect your rights.
-
New Jersey's modified comparative negligence rule allows you to recover damages as long as you are found less than 50% at fault. Your award is reduced proportionally by your percentage of fault. If you are 50% or more at fault, you cannot recover.
-
Barreto Law Firm handles personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis. There is no upfront cost, no hourly rate, and no fee at all unless we recover compensation for you.
-
Most personal injury claims settle before trial. However, we prepare every case as though it will go before a jury — which gives us the leverage to negotiate full and fair compensation, rather than accepting whatever the insurer offers first.
