Questions about Divorce

Wednesday, August 10th, 2011

How is property distributed in a divorce?

Property can be distributed through a settlement reached between the two parties in a divorce, or “equitably” by the courts. Equitable property distribution takes into account the needs and financial abilities of each party, and seeks to provide a fair solution for all involved.

If my divorce is uncontested, do I still need an attorney?

Although you do not strictly need an attorney in any divorce case, if you want your divorce to be settled properly the first time, a divorce attorney is highly recommended. There are numerous considerations that go into even the most amicable divorces, and only an attorney can make sure you are not making decisions that will impact your future security and happiness.

Is child support an issue when parenting time is equal?

Child support is determined by the court based on the needs and abilities of each parent. When a joint parenting time agreement is made, child support is often a non-issue. However, if one parent is much more financially secure than the other, child support may still be ordered by the courts.

Can a divorce be settled out of court?

It is preferable to settle your divorce out of court. If an agreement can be reached by both parties and their attorneys, a dissolution of marriage petition will be filed with the court, and the matter will be settled without a trial. If a divorce needs to go to trail, Anthony Carbone has over 20 years of experience in litigating these difficult cases, and will fight to ensure you are fully protected, and provided with a fair settlement.

Questions about Truck Accidents

Monday, August 8th, 2011

How is fault determined in a truck accident?

It can be difficult to determine fault in a truck accident. There can be several responsible parties including the trucker, the company he works for, and even manufacturers of defective truck equipment. Newark, New Jersey truck accident attorney Anthony Carbone will conduct an investigation into the cause of your accident and make sure that the responsible party or parties are held accountable.

Can there be multiple negligent parties in a truck accident lawsuit?
There is often more than one negligent party involved in a truck accident lawsuit. For example, if a truck rolls over due to an improperly weighted load, the negligent parties may include the trucker and the company that loaded the trailer. Attorney Carbone can help you determine who is at fault, and seek full compensation for all of your damages.

I’ve lost a loved one in a truck accident. What can I do now?

If you lose a loved one in a truck accident, you have a right to file a wrongful death lawsuit. Thousands of people are killed every year in commercial truck accidents, and you are entitled to recover damages including medical costs, end of life expenses, projected future financial contributions, and loss of companionship.

Should I settle with a truck company’s insurance?

You should never settle with an insurance company. Insurance companies are interested in protecting their profits and will try to offer you a settlement that is inadequate to cover all of your damages. Only a truck accident attorney can help you get the full amount of compensation you are due.

Questions about Auto Accidents

Monday, August 8th, 2011

Do I need to seek medical assistance even if I’m not injured in an accident?

You should always see your doctor for a thorough examination after an auto accident. Injuries such as traumatic brain injury may not show immediate symptoms, but are a common result of even minor auto accidents.

Should I contact my insurance after every auto accident?

Insurance needs to be notified after every accident. If you fear that your insurance may try to minimize your settlement, you can contact an attorney first. However, most insurance companies require that you contact them in a timely fashion after an accident.

Should I contact an attorney after an auto accident?

You will need an attorney after your accident to help establish fault and to deal with your insurance company. An attorney will be able to make sure you are treated fairly, and that you do not accept inadequate settlements from an insurance company.

What if I’m partially to blame for an auto accident?

The state of New Jersey uses a “comparative negligence” system. This means that even if you are partially to blame for an accident, you may still be entitled to recover some of your damages. You need an experienced auto accident attorney on your side to help establish fault, and to ensure you are compensated for your injuries.
