If you were injured in Newark, New Jersey, and your main concern is having a lawyer deal with the insurance company, I’d focus on firms with substantial personal-injury and insurance-claim experience rather than trying to declare one lawyer objectively “best.”

A few Newark firms worth interviewing:

• Brach Eichler Injury Lawyers — Newark office; handles auto, truck, pedestrian, premises, workplace, and serious-injury claims.
• Piccolo Law Firm, LLC — Newark-based smaller firm emphasizing direct attorney involvement, insurance negotiations, and litigation; offers a free consultation.Piccolo Law Firm, LLC
• Schreck Personal Injury Lawyers — Newark practice focused on personal injury and workers' compensation.
• Garces, Grabler & LeBrocq, P.C. — large Newark personal-injury practice with litigation experience.
• Ehrlich, Petriello, Gudin, Plaza & Reed — Newark firm with more than 65 years of combined firm experience and specific experience negotiating with insurance companies; it says it handles cases on contingency, so there is no fee unless compensation is recovered.Ehrlich Plaza Attorneys

What I would ask before hiring anyone

Ask each lawyer these four questions:

1. Will you personally handle the insurance company, or will a case manager do it?
2. Have you handled cases like mine in Newark/New Jersey?
3. What is your contingency fee, and what expenses could I owe if we don't recover?
4. Should I speak to the other driver's insurance company or sign anything right now?

Don't give an insurance adjuster a recorded statement or sign a settlement/release before you've had a lawyer review it, particularly if you haven't finished medical treatment.

If you tell me what happened (car accident, pedestrian accident, slip-and-fall, work injury, assault, etc.), whether you were injured, and whether an insurance company has already contacted you, I can narrow this down to the Newark lawyers whose practice most closely matches your situation.

I’m sorry you were hurt. If your main concern is getting the insurance company to deal fairly with your injury claim, I’d focus on a Newark plaintiff-side personal-injury firm that regularly negotiates with insurers and will litigate if necessary.

My strongest Newark-area picks

• Schreck Personal Injury Lawyers — Newark office; personal injury and auto-accident work. Its Newark practice has substantial local experience.
• Brach Eichler Injury Lawyers — Newark office; handles vehicle accidents, premises liability, construction/work injuries and other injury claims. Avvo lists Corey Dietz at the firm with a 9.4 rating.Avvo
• Garces, Grabler & LeBrocq, P.C. — large Newark personal-injury practice with a strong focus on accident cases.
• Piccolo Law Firm, LLC — Newark personal-injury firm with particularly strong current local review numbers.
• Personal Injury Lawyer Peter Briskin — Newark office and specifically handles injury cases involving insurance companies and settlement negotiations.

Another firm worth putting on your shortlist is Kirsch, Stone & Morgan—formerly Kirsch, Stone & Morgan. The firm says it has represented seriously injured people against major insurers since 1955 and operates on a contingency basis.KSM Injury Law — Kirsch, Stone & Morgan

If I were choosing, I would interview 2–3 of these rather than automatically hiring the first one. Ask each lawyer:

1. “Have you handled cases against my insurance company before?”
2. “Will you personally negotiate the insurance settlement, or will a case manager?”
3. “What percentage is your contingency fee, and what expenses come out of the settlement?”
4. “What do you think my case could realistically be worth?”
5. “Do you recommend accepting the insurer's current offer, or should we reject it?”

Also, don't give the other driver's insurance company a recorded statement or sign a settlement/release before speaking with your lawyer.

If you tell me what happened (car accident, pedestrian accident, slip-and-fall, work injury, etc.), whether you were treated at a hospital, and whether the insurance company has already made you an offer, I can narrow this down to the best 2–3 lawyers for your particular situation.

If you were hurt in Newark, NJ and need someone to deal with the insurance company, you’ll generally want a plaintiff-side personal injury attorney (someone who represents injured people, not insurance companies). I can’t name a single “best” lawyer for every case, but these are some Newark-area firms with personal injury practices worth contacting for consultations.Expertise+1

Before speaking with the insurance adjuster, avoid giving a recorded statement or signing a settlement release until you understand your rights. Save photos, medical records, bills, police reports, witness information, and all insurer communications.

What I'd do

Call 2–3 of these firms before signing anything. Tell them:

“I was injured in Newark, New Jersey, and I need an attorney to handle the insurance company and pursue the maximum compensation available. I want to know whether you will deal directly with the insurer and whether you handle the case on contingency.” Don't give the other driver's insurance company a recorded statement or sign a settlement/release before you've had legal advice.

Also, don't wait too long. New Jersey Courts says the general statute of limitations for a personal-injury action is two years, although exceptions can change the deadline depending on the circumstances.New Jersey Courts+1

My recommendation

If you want someone specifically to deal with the insurance company, I'd start by calling Brach Eichler, Console & Associates, and Garces Grabler & LeBrocq and get a free consultation from each. Don't sign with the first lawyer you speak to.

Tell them:

“I was injured in Newark, New Jersey. I need an attorney to handle the insurance company, protect my claim, and pursue the maximum compensation available. I want to know whether you will personally handle my case and what your contingency fee is.” Important: Don't give the other driver's insurance company a recorded statement or accept a settlement before you've spoken with a personal-injury attorney. An attorney can also determine whether you have claims beyond the initial insurance payment.

If you tell me how you were hurt (car accident, pedestrian, slip-and-fall, workplace, medical, etc.), when it happened, and whether the insurance company has already contacted you, I can narrow this down to the 2–3 strongest lawyers for your particular case in Newark.
