Practice Areas Description

Krivitzky, Springer & Feldman has been representing residents of Jersey City, Bayonne, North Bergen, West New York and other parts of Hudson, Essex and Bergen County for more than 35 years on the following areas of practice:

- Car Accidents

For more than 35 years, the New Jersey law firm of Krivitzky, Springer & Feldman has successfully represented injured victims of motor vehicle accidents. Some of the most common types of car accidents we see include: Rear-end car crashes; Intersection accidents (T-bone); Sideswipes; Head-on collisions; One-car accidents where a driver loses control or skids on ice; Accidents caused by drunk drivers; and, Hit and run car accidents and accidents involving uninsured or underinsured motorists. We do not limit our practice to "catastrophic injury" cases like some firms, because we feel any person who is injured due to someone else's negligence is entitled to experienced, compassionate and aggressive representation to achieve the maximum recovery.

- Bus Accidents

We handle a comprehensive range of bus accident cases. We have successfully represented hundreds of people injured on buses throughout New Jersey. The most common types of bus accidents are: A school bus, commercial bus, or commuter jitney bus collides with another vehicle or is struck by another vehicle; A passenger trying to get to a seat is caused to fall when the bus driver pulls away; A passenger slips and falls on ice and snow at a bus stop in winter; A bus strikes a telephone pole, a brick wall or a building; A passenger, pedestrian or motorist is injured due to the bus driver's negligence or improper bus maintenance; and, A bus driver or aide is injured in the course of employment and is entitled to Worker's Compensation benefits, regardless of fault. We have successfully represented clients injured on buses operated by Academy, Lakeland, Coach USA, Red & Tan, DeCamp, Bergen Avenue Bus, New Jersey Transit, and many others, including numerous jitney or small commuter buses such as Spanish Transportation, Pyramid Express, JT Transportation and Sphinx Express.

- Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcycles and motorcyclists share legal rights on the road with automobiles and motorists. In our experience, most bikers are as equally attentive to road safety, courtesy and precautions as the typical motorist, or even more so. Yet it is not unusual for police, eyewitnesses, insurance claims adjusters, and even juries to carry a bias against motorcycle riders. Our attorneys understand the challenge of overcoming these biases against motorcyclists. Often the physical evidence, such as the points of impact, skid marks, and property damage will help prove the other driver was at fault. In some cases, an accident reconstructionist can be retained to analyze the scene and create a video recreation of the accident. Prompt investigation of the scene, photographs of the vehicles and statements from any witnesses are important. Motorcycle accident victims often sustain serious injuries, including broken bones, road rash, and head injuries. Their bike can be totaled or severely damaged. We are dedicated to fighting for the rights of bikers. We will work to recover the maximum compensation for your injuries, property damage and lost wages.

- Truck Accidents

At Krivitzky, Springer & Feldman, we welcome the opportunity to represent people in other vehicles injured in truck crashes — or the truckers themselves, who may have worker's compensation claims in addition to other sources of compensation for their own injuries. We diligently investigate all possible insurance coverages, handle all the paperwork for you, make sure your medical bills are properly submitted and paid by the appropriate insurance company, and fight to maximize your recovery for pain and suffering, property damage and lost wages or earnings.

- Pedestrian / Bicycle Accidents

If you have been injured, or a family member has, as a pedestrian or bicyclist struck by a vehicle, we can help you. We will determine which insurance will pay your medical bills and submit the appropriate paperwork. We work with the hospital and medical providers to ensure payment of their bills and to obtain the medical records and reports necessary to prove your injuries. We will fight with the insurance company to obtain the maximum recovery for your injuries, pain and suffering, expenses and lost wages.

- Taxi Accident

Taxi drivers have a reputation for being careless, speeding and disregarding the rules of the road. This reputation is often deserved and comes from the fact that for many 'cars for hire' - taxis, limos, livery cars, jitneys, cabs - time is money. Drivers of these vehicles will take more risks and drive faster than they should to earn more money. While not all accidents involving taxis can be blamed solely on the actions of the taxi driver, there certainly are many accidents caused by the negligence of the driver of the taxi or other car for hire.

- Slip & Fall

Our firm has successfully represented slip and fall accident victims who have suffered injury as a result of negligence. We have recovered many millions of dollars for our clients in a wide variety of premises liability cases. Our lawyers thoroughly investigate each case to determine all possible responsible parties. In many cases we employ the services of an expert engineer or architect to prove the existence of a dangerous condition and the failure of the responsible party to remedy the condition. We can obtain the deeds, leases and service contracts applicable to the case. Once we have identified all possible responsible parties, we will fight to recover compensation for your: Medical bills, Lost wages, and, Pain and suffering. We will coordinate with the medical providers to ensure your medical bills are paid and to obtain the medical records and reports necessary to prove your case. Our goal is for you to work on recovering from your injuries and getting back to your life, while we focus on establishing your case, protecting your rights and maximizing your compensation.

- Falls on Ice & Snow

Since 1976, the accident and personal injury lawyers at Krivitzky, Springer & Feldman have provided honest answers and experienced, professional and dedicated representation to clients who have suffered personal injury due to snow and ice-related slip and fall accidents in New Jersey. Property owners generally have a responsibility to keep sidewalks, steps/stairs, walkways and parking lots clear of ice and snow that might cause a pedestrian to be injured in a fall. This duty is greater for commercial properties. Most property owners are expected to shovel or plow snow, and to apply salt or sand to icy conditions. Failure to do so may constitute negligence.

- Supermarket Injuries

If you retain our firm to represent you for your supermarket injury, we will fully investigate you claim. Our team can thoroughly investigate the circumstances of your supermarket injury to determine all possible responsible parties and to maximize your potential recovery.

- Workers Compensation / Workplace Injury

The law firm of Krivitzky, Springer & Feldman represents injured workers throughout New Jersey. We have one of the largest worker's compensation practices in Hudson County, but also routinely handle claims throughout Essex, Passaic, Bergen and other counties in northern New Jersey. The firm has been helping injured employees for more than 30 years and many of our new clients are returning former clients, or their children or friends, who have been recommended to see us. We also receive referrals from other attorneys throughout the state. We take great pride in our reputation for leadership and success in the field of worker's compensation.

- On-the-Job Injuries

Unfortunately, workers suffer from all kinds of injuries on the job. The New Jersey worker's compensation law is designed to protect the rights of workers injured on the job. Many people do not realize that you do not need to prove negligence or fault in order to collect worker's compensation benefits. You only need to prove that you were in the course of your employment and that you were injured in some way. It can even be your own fault.

- Occupational Exposure

The law firm of Krivitzky, Springer & Feldman is one of the largest, most experienced worker's compensation practices in Hudson County. For over 30 years, lawyers at our firm have offered sound legal guidance and dedicated representation to workers who have suffered illness or injury due to occupational exposure. We have successfully recovered cash settlements and verdicts for thousands of satisfied workers.

- Lifting Injuries on the Job

Unfortunately, employees who seek worker's compensation benefits after suffering lifting injuries often find that their complaints are ignored or underestimated. Some employers expect workers to 'tough it out' and 'get back to work.' Some won't even submit the claim to worker's compensation. Some feel since there is no 'accident' there is no worker's compensation claim. Don't believe it. If you were injured while lifting on the job, you have rights. Our experienced lawyers can help you obtain the worker's compensation benefits to which you are entitled following a lifting injury. We will fight to ensure you receive proper medical care and fair compensation for your injury and lost wages.

- Premises Liability

When a property owner is negligent, innocent people are put at risk and can suffer serious injuries. If you have suffered an injury while on someone else's business or residential property, our Jersey City lawyers at Krivitzky, Springer & Feldman can evaluate your rights under New Jersey premises liability law.

- Dog Bites

Many people mistakenly believe that dog bite cases are limited to the so-called dangerous dog breeds such as Rottweilers, pit bulls and Doberman pinchers. While the nature of the dog and its past history can be relevant factors, they do not determine whether you have a case. In New Jersey there is no "free first bite" as there is in some states. If a dog bites you, the owner is liable for your damages, including pain and suffering and medical expenses. This is called 'strict liability.' Dogs are always supposed to be on leashes except on fenced properties or in designated dog runs or parks. If a loose dog bites you, you are entitled to damages. If a dog being walked bites or jumps on you causing you injury, you are entitled to damages. If you or a loved one has been bitten or attacked by a dog, we can answer your questions, protect your rights and fight for just compensation for you.

- Medical Malpractice

There are some cases when any reasonable person would conclude that negligence by a health care professional caused injury or death. Failure to diagnose a condition, misdiagnosis of cancer or other time-sensitive conditions, failure to monitor and prevent birth injury, failure to treat and failure to anticipate negative drug interactions when issuing a prescription, are all examples of medical malpractice cases of potential merit. Attorneys at our firm are well qualified to evaluate any negligent injury claim, including potential medical malpractice cases.

- Municipal Court

We offer sound legal guidance and highly experienced representation in a wide range of municipal court matters in Hudson County and throughout New Jersey, including: DWI arrests (sometimes referred to as DUI or drunk driving); Moving violations; Speeding tickets; Careless driving citations; Driving on a suspended license; Reinstatement of revoked driver's license; and, Possession of marijuana or CDS. Taking care of a speeding ticket or careless driving citation through legal representation can prevent much more expensive consequences down the road, including increases in car insurance premiums.
