Products Liability – Defective or Dangerous Products Cases
Injuries as a result of a defective product or one that is dangerous are common and the injuries can be traumatic or catastrophic. Defective products, dangerous products as well as products without sufficient instructions that cause injuries are all examples of potential “products liabilities” claims. When someone is injured by these products, those victims often have rights to file claim, and seek compensation. Products liability claims are very complex and must be filed within a specific time frame allowed under New Jersey law. Our products liability lawyers are available for a free and confidential consultation.
Rideshare Accidents
Slip, Trip and Fall – Premise Liability Cases
Experienced an injury after a slip, trip or fall? In many instances in New Jersey, when a person suffers injuries after a fall, they are not at fault. While initially a fall can be embarrassing, the devastation from the injuries can be long lasting. Slip, trips and falls are often the result of unsafe conditions, and when those unsafe conditions are on someone else’s property, and could have been made safe, a “premise liability” claim may proceed. Premise liability claims allow victims of slip, trip and falls to fight to recover compensation for the damages they suffered. Premise liability claims in New Jersey are complex and understanding your rights is crucial to your case. Our premise liability attorneys are available to advise you of your rights, responsibilities and your available options with regards to a claim.

Truck accidents can be devastating to those involved. Unlike common passenger motor vehicles, trucks and big rigs are heavy, bulky and maneuver much slower. Trucks also have large blind spots and for all these reasons, accidents do happen. Truck accidents in New Jersey could be a result of driver error, poor truck maintenance, lack of training and more. For these reasons claims are complex and can involve multiple negligent parties. If you have been involved in an accident with a truck or big rig, you need to understand your rights.

Wrongful Death
Wrongful Death Claims
Losing a loved one can be one of the most traumatic & emotional events in a person’s life. What makes the loss even worse is when it didn’t have to happen. After losing a loved one, especially if they were the primary provider of the household, financial stress can mount on top of the grieving process. When someone else’s negligence contributed to the death of a loved one, wrongful death claims may be pursued.

The New Jersey laws concerning wrongful death are very specific, meaning the claim must be filed adhering to the proper process. Our wrongful death attorneys understand the wrongful death claims process and can help. We offer a free, no obligation consultation and can advise you of your rights and options available.

Dan answered any questions I had and educated me in all areas of the process. In this way I was able to feel very supported build trust and feel like a little attorney myself ! In other words reassured. Dan always kept me involved and communicated thoroughly. If you’re anything like me, maybe you don’t know much but don’t want to just be led blindly.

I am a solo personal injury lawyer and I often have multiple injury cases scheduled in court at the same time so I have to rely on other lawyers to help me handle those matters. The attorneys at Harrell, Smith & Williams are always prepared, thorough and treat my clients with respect. I see the excellent work they do for me, and I know they do the same for their own clients. They are skilled professionals.

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, ValueThis is the Best Legal Team I have ever encountered. They work seemlessly together and work hard at making you feel comfortable but more importantly informed of everything going on with your case. I contacted Bayard Smith initially when my accident happened and found Bayard to be compassionate and extremely knowledgeable. Bayard worked with me on my case for several months while instructing me to do nothing else but get myself better and back to pre-accident health. During the course of my case it became necessary for Dan Williams to handle my case for a period of time. Dan was wonderful and helped me tremendously get through my depositions and continue to inform me of the status of my case. In the end Bayard & Dan worked to get me the highest amount of money possible for my accident but more importantly made sure i recieved the medical treatment and attention i needed to get my health back. I have recommended Harrell, Smith & Williams to several other people and will continue to always recommend them in the future. They are the Best!

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, ValueHarrell, Smith & Williams deserves way more then 5 stars! Wish I could give them more! I was recommended to HSW by a coworker in 2014 after being in a major car accident. I had never had a case before so I was super nervous about the whole process. I initially met with Kenneth who absolutely made me feel so much better about my case. He walked me through the entire process, kept me informed and answered any and all questions that I had. Ken was super amazing at explaining everything to me and making sure that I completely understood how the process would work. He was also very honest and extremely realistic in regards to my case. My case was subsequently transferred over to Dan and I cannot say enough about Dan! Dan is awesome! He really took the time to talk to me and make sure I was comfortable with the movement of my case, as when he took over the case, things were starting to move rather quickly. Dan made sure that I saw the best of the best Doctors and that I was in good hands when it came to surgeries or follow up appointments. He was completely understanding of some of my concerns regarding my course of treatment. He made sure I was informed at all times about my case. He was honest with me and made sure my expectations were always realistic. He was very supportive of my decisions regarding my case. Took a lot of time and effort to prepare me for anything I needed to be prepared for. I could go on forever. As for Bayard, while I did not work with him regarding my case, I did speak with him and see him when I would come to the office for appointments. Anytime Ken or Dan were not available, Bayard would answer any questions or concerns I had. He has a big personality, very warm and inviting even though he was not assigned to my case and was always willing to help out whenever possible!My expectations regarding my case were realistic based on the information and services provided by HSW. They were always very honest, upfront and professional! I couldn’t have asked for a better firm to settle my case! I couldn’t be happier with the end result!Kenneth Harrell, Bayard Smith and Dan Williams are excellent attorneys and they own a great firm! They provide quality services to all of their clients! But I am sure they would agree when I say they couldn’t be as AMAZING as they are without the support of the employees they have working for them!Something that stood out to me was that I could call the firm and I would immediately speak to a LIVE person! Many Law Firms have automated services answering their calls and you have to press 30 numbers to get nowhere but frustrated. Then trying to enter a last name or a first name and still getting nowhere but frustrated, getting transfered 15 times and ultimately hanging up in frustration and having to try again later! Anytime I called HSW I was always greeted with a friendly voice by Sue their legal secretary. She was always very kind and helpful everytime I called. If Dan was not available she would make sure to take a message or offer that I speak to Dan’s Assistant, Nydia. Nydia was so helpful in providing me any information I needed. She often reminded me of appointments and/or items that I needed to provide! Leigh was also very helpful to me when my case needed to go through PIP arb! She was able to work with my insurance company to get some medical bills paid for. To say that was a relief is an understatement!I worked for a company for 13 years as an Executive Manager. One of my duties was to ensure Company MORALE. I happen to KNOW that MORALE at HSW is very high. I happen to know that Bayard, Dan and Kenneth are VERY GOOD to their Employees. I happen to know that their Employees are treated very well by them. I happen to know that their Employees LOVE working for them. I happen to know they create a great atmosphere for their Employees. I happen to know that they treat their Employees like family. I happen to know that their Employees love going to work and have fun when they do!Those are the kind of standup men I would ONLY trust with my case!!!Harrell, Smith & Williams deserves way more then 5 stars!
