Courtroom experience and an insider's edge
Attorney Vasquez brings a powerful background to every case. As a former prosecutor, he has extensive courtroom and trial experience. He has also defended insurance companies in complex litigation, so he understands firsthand the tactics insurers use to limit what they pay injury victims. That dual experience is a real asset when challenging a claim denial or a low-ball settlement offer. As a solo practitioner, he personally leads your case from start to finish and is fully prepared to take it to trial when an insurer will not be fair.

What Bergen County injury victims should know
You generally have two years to file
New Jersey's statute of limitations (N.J.S.A. 2A:14-2) gives you two years from the date of injury. Claims against a government entity require a Notice of Claim within 90 days, so it is important to act quickly.
Partial fault does not end your claim
New Jersey follows modified comparative negligence (N.J.S.A. 2A:15-5.1). You can recover as long as you were not more than 50 percent at fault, with your compensation reduced by your share. A former insurance-defense attorney knows how insurers inflate a victim's fault.
