Every year, thousands of people in New Jersey are injured because someone else was careless. In fact, according to state data, over 190,000 injury-related emergency room visits were reported in a single year—many of them preventable accidents. If it happened to you or someone you love, we know how quickly life can be turned upside down.
At The Law Offices of Peter Briskin, P.C., we serve Clifton and the surrounding Passaic County community with one goal: to help injury victims get the full compensation they deserve. Whether you were hurt in a car accident on Route 46, slipped on an icy walkway outside a Clifton grocery store, or suffered a serious injury at work, we’re here to help you take back control.
We’re not just another law firm with a cookie-cutter approach. With over 25 years of combined experience and millions recovered for our clients, we take pride in delivering personal, one-on-one service. From your first phone call, you’ll speak with a real attorney—not a call center. And if we don’t win your case, you don’t pay us a dime.
Let us be your voice when the insurance companies try to play games. We know the local courts, we understand New Jersey injury law, and we won’t stop until we’ve fought for every dollar you’re owed.
At our firm, we believe that every personal injury client deserves more than just legal representation—they deserve someone who genuinely cares. That’s why we treat every case with the urgency and attention we’d give to our own family.
We’ve built our reputation across Clifton and the greater Passaic County area by standing up to powerful insurance companies, corporations, and negligent parties—and winning. Our team has over 25 years of combined experience handling complex injury claims, and we’ve recovered millions of dollars for clients facing some of the hardest moments of their lives.
What sets us apart?
We take the time to understand your story. No two injuries are the same, and we never use a one-size-fits-all approach.
We’re available 24/7 because accidents don’t wait for business hours.
We build every case as if it’s going to trial—so we’re always ready when insurance adjusters try to lowball your claim.
And most importantly: you don’t pay us unless we win. We only succeed when you do.
We proudly serve Clifton, Paterson, Montclair, Nutley, and the surrounding communities. Whether you were treated at St. Joseph’s University Medical Center or a local urgent care clinic, we’re here to guide you through your recovery with honesty, skill, and compassion.
At The Law Offices of Peter Briskin, P.C., we represent people across Clifton and Passaic County who were injured because someone else failed to act responsibly. No matter how you got hurt, we’re here to make sure your voice is heard and your damages are fully accounted for.
Here are the types of cases we handle most frequently:
Whether you were rear-ended on Route 3 or sideswiped on the Garden State Parkway, motor vehicle crashes can cause serious injuries and long-term consequences. We handle everything from fender-benders to catastrophic truck accidents—including rideshare collisions involving Uber and Lyft.
If you fell in a Clifton supermarket, apartment building, or parking lot due to unsafe conditions, you may have a valid claim under New Jersey’s premises liability laws. Property owners are responsible for keeping their spaces safe—and we make sure they’re held accountable when they don’t.
We represent injured workers in both workers’ compensation claims and third-party lawsuits. From construction site falls to warehouse equipment injuries, we know how to navigate the complex world of job-related injuries in New Jersey.
When doctors or hospitals in Clifton make preventable errors—like misdiagnosis, surgical mistakes, or birth injuries—the results can be devastating. We work with top medical experts to build strong malpractice cases that demand justice.
Dog attacks can cause serious trauma, both physical and emotional. Under New Jersey’s strict liability law, dog owners are financially responsible even if the dog has never bitten before. We pursue full compensation for clients injured by aggressive animals.
If you lost a loved one due to someone else’s negligence, we help families pursue justice through wrongful death claims. While no amount of money can undo the pain, compensation can help ease financial burdens during this incredibly difficult time.
We know that filing a personal injury claim can feel overwhelming—especially when you’re already dealing with pain, medical appointments, and lost income. That’s why we’ve designed our process to take the stress off your shoulders and put the legal burden on ours.
Here’s how we handle personal injury cases in Clifton, step by step:
Your journey starts with a no-obligation consultation. We’ll listen to your story, review any documents you have, and let you know what your options are. There’s no pressure, no cost, and no commitment—just honest answers.
We dig deep into what happened. This includes reviewing police reports, collecting witness statements, obtaining surveillance footage, and consulting accident reconstruction or medical experts if needed. In Clifton, we’ve worked with local law enforcement and medical facilities countless times—we know where to look and who to call.
We gather your medical records, treatment plans, and bills to establish the full extent of your injuries. We also calculate your lost income and any future financial impact—so you’re not left covering costs down the line.
We prepare a comprehensive demand package that lays out your injuries, losses, and the compensation you’re entitled to. Then we negotiate aggressively with the insurance company to reach a fair settlement. If they play games, we’re ready to push back.
Sometimes, insurers refuse to settle. That’s when we file suit and prepare for trial. Because we treat every case like it could go to court, we’re always one step ahead when negotiations stall.
