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 worked the other side of personal injury litigation, defending insurance companies in highly complex matters, so he understands firsthand the tactics insurers use to limit what they pay. Both sides of that experience give him a competitive edge when fighting a claim denial or a low settlement offer. As a solo practitioner based in the county, he personally leads your case and is fully prepared to take it to trial.

What Passaic 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.
Passaic County cases are heard in Paterson
