The Attorney’s Role in Filing My Suit

New Jersey has a strict set of procedures that must be followed in order to succeed and recover in a medical malpractice lawsuit. The negligent medical provider (the defendant) will have a chance to respond and defend the lawsuit. It is similar to personal injury lawsuit; however, a medical malpractice suit is much more intricate. It requires very detailed expert testimony to explain the complexity of the case to a jury. Part of this expert’s job is to provide an affidavit of merit (AOM) within 60 days of filing the complaint. The AOM is a statement by a medical expert stating that there is sufficient medical evidence for a lawsuit to go forward against the medical provider in question. During the course of the lawsuit, evidence will be put forth to prove that the duty of care owed to the patient was breached.

The Arbitration Road

Your lawsuit has a chance of being referred to arbitration. If the amount of damages sought is less than $20,000, NJ courts will refer the case to arbitration. In arbitration, a neutral third-party fact finder resolves the dispute. The resolution is binding on all parties.

Statute of Limitations in New Jersey

New Jersey has limited the amount of time in which an injured person can bring a medical malpractice claim, which, if not filed in a timely manner, the injured person would be forever barred from bringing a medical malpractice suit against the negligent medical provider. The time allowed to bring the medical malpractice claim is generally two years from the date of the injury. However, there are exceptions to this rule which may extend the time allowed to bring a claim, such as the discovery doctrine or if the injured patient was under the age of 21 at the time of injury. An attorney at Riviere Advocacy Group LLC in Monmouth County, New Jersey and statewide can explain these time concerns with you.

What can I expect to recover for my injuries?

The value of your case is dependent upon a number of factors, including, but not limited to:

the clarity of doctor’s liability
the egregiousness of the medical provider’s negligence
whether the plaintiff was also negligent and to what extent
the severity of the injuries
economic factors, such as the amount of medical bills and/or lost wages
the age of the plaintiff
the venue or location of where the suit will be filed e.g. Monmouth County, Mercer County, Middlesex County, Ocean County, Essex County, Husdon County and so forth
the plaintiff’s work history
the defendant’s character and mannerisms
the type of medical treatment the plaintiff receives
the plaintiff’s pre-existing conditions
the plaintiff’s criminal history
the plaintiff’s claims history
the credibility of the parties

Paul Riviere did an outstanding job of representing me in my Tort Claim. Communication was excellent, my questions and concerns were answered and he was always ready to assist when needed. He really fought for me to get the settlement I needed and deserved. I highly recommend this attorney.

My family used Attorney Paul Riviere for some legal issues. Paul did a great job representing us. Whenever we called Paul, when we had questions, Paul always returned our calls with the answers. We were very satisfied with Mr. Riviere's work. We will definitely use Mr. Riviere again.

I hired Paul to represent my daughter in a partnership dispute. Although he was very good in the beginning negotiating a fair settlement, he has failed to help her in executing the terms of the contract. He has basically told us she can pursue payment due her in small claims court . He was paid a very hefty retainer which he has almost all exhausted. I feel like he has abandoned her without helping to enforce the settlement he helped navigate. She is still without payment due her which he never followed up on. Im sure he will expect more payment for that . I am disappointed in his lack of helping to enforce a vital part of this agreement .

I've been extremely taken aback by the acrimonious demeanor I've read, in the reviews, regarding The law firm of Riviere Cresci & Singer but specifically Mr, Paul Riviere. Esq. I first became acquainted with Mr. Riviere after I suffered an automobile accident. I had the pleasure of meeting with Mr. Riveire, along with other perspective attorney's, while looking for representation. After meeting with Mr. Reviere I knew instantly that he was the man I was going to hire. Mr. Riviere proved to be the right choice not only from his business acumen but his personal interest as well in my health and welfare. I would highly recommend this firm and Mr. Reviere if you are looking for an established firm with a history of excellent client-attorney interaction.

Paul worked on a tax assessment case for my husband and I. Our town assessed our house and as a result our taxes were due to increase. Paul was excellent and time efficient. He fought our town to have the house re-assessed and as a result our taxes did not increase and we got are due for a refund from the township. Thanks so much for a job well done!

Paul worked on an expongment case for me that I thought would never go thru. Paul was very professional and really helped direct me to what I needed to do in order for him to get the job done. I can't thank him enough for his hard work. I recommend Paul to anyone for any case that they would need a lawyer for.
