If you’ve been injured in Fort Lee or anywhere in Northern New Jersey, let us be your voice for justice.
At The Law Offices of Peter Briskin, P.C., we focus exclusively on personal injury law — and that means we know how to win these cases. From vehicle crashes to fatal accidents, we’ve represented clients across Fort Lee and the New York metro area with dedication, strategic insight, and a deep understanding of New Jersey’s personal injury laws.
Below are the core areas we handle. Each one involves unique legal challenges, and we tailor our approach to fit your specific case.
Every day, Fort Lee residents face heavy traffic on the George Washington Bridge, I-95, and Route 4 — and with that comes a high risk of serious car and truck accidents. If you’ve been injured in a crash, our firm is here to help you understand your rights and recover the compensation you deserve.
New Jersey operates under a no-fault insurance system, which means your own policy (Personal Injury Protection, or PIP) covers your initial medical bills. But if your injuries are severe enough to meet the “serious injury threshold” under N.J.S.A. § 39:6A-8, you may be entitled to file a lawsuit against the at-fault driver for additional damages.
We handle everything from rear-end collisions to catastrophic truck crashes involving commercial vehicles. Our attorneys also know how to challenge low settlement offers and deal with tough insurance adjusters. Whether you’re dealing with whiplash or life-changing injuries, we’ll stand by your side and fight for what you’re owed.
Slip and fall accidents are more than just embarrassing — they can cause serious injuries that change your life. In Fort Lee, these incidents often happen in grocery stores, apartment buildings, parking garages, and even on poorly maintained sidewalks. When a property owner fails to keep their premises safe, they can be held responsible for the harm caused.
Our firm helps clients pursue premises liability claims for injuries caused by wet floors, uneven pavement, icy walkways, broken staircases, and other hazards. If your fall occurred on government property, like a municipal sidewalk or public building, New Jersey law requires you to file a special notice within 90 days of the incident — so time is critical.
We’ve helped countless clients recover compensation for broken bones, back injuries, and traumatic brain injuries resulting from falls. Property owners — including landlords, business managers, and local governments — have a legal duty to keep their premises safe. When they fail, we make sure they’re held accountable.
Construction is a way of life in Fort Lee — from high-rise projects near the George Washington Bridge to residential renovations throughout Bergen County. Unfortunately, these job sites can also be some of the most dangerous places to work. If you were hurt on a construction site, you may have more options than just filing a workers’ comp claim.
Our firm represents injured construction workers in third-party personal injury lawsuits — meaning we go after negligent contractors, subcontractors, property owners, and equipment manufacturers when they fail to keep the site safe. Whether your injury was caused by a fall from scaffolding, defective machinery, or a collapse, we know how to build a strong case for full compensation.
New Jersey law allows injured workers to file a third-party claim in addition to receiving workers’ compensation benefits. This can help you recover more than just medical expenses — including pain and suffering, future lost income, and long-term disability damages.
Not all workplace injuries happen on construction sites. Whether you were hurt in an office, warehouse, restaurant, or retail store in Fort Lee, you have rights under New Jersey law. Our attorneys handle both workers’ compensation claims and employer negligence lawsuits — depending on the specifics of your case.
If your injury occurred while performing your job duties, you are generally entitled to workers’ comp benefits. This includes coverage for medical treatment, partial wage replacement, and disability benefits. But if your employer failed to provide a safe environment — or if a third party (like a delivery company or equipment manufacturer) contributed to your injury — you may be eligible for additional compensation through a personal injury lawsuit.
From repetitive stress injuries to catastrophic events like falls or machinery accidents, we understand how to investigate and document workplace incidents thoroughly. And we’ll make sure insurance companies treat your claim fairly — not as just another number.

Losing someone you love is always painful — but when that loss is caused by someone else’s negligence, it can be even harder to accept. At The Law Offices of Peter Briskin, P.C., we represent grieving families in Fort Lee and throughout New Jersey who are seeking justice after a fatal accident.
A wrongful death claim allows surviving family members to pursue compensation for funeral and burial expenses, loss of income, medical bills, and emotional pain. These cases often arise from car accidents, workplace incidents, medical malpractice, or falls on unsafe property. We handle them with sensitivity, discretion, and a deep commitment to holding the responsible party accountable.
New Jersey’s wrongful death statute gives specific family members the right to file a claim — but time is limited, and the legal process can be complex. We help you understand your rights and guide you through every step with compassion and clarity.
If you’ve never filed a personal injury claim before, the process can feel overwhelming. At The Law Offices of Peter Briskin, P.C., we take the time to walk you through every step — and make sure your rights are fully protected under New Jersey law.
In most car accident cases, New Jersey’s no-fault insurance system means your own policy pays for medical treatment through Personal Injury Protection (PIP), regardless of who caused the crash. But if your injuries meet the “serious injury threshold,” you may step outside the no-fault system and file a lawsuit against the at-fault party.
For most personal injury claims, you have two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit. If your injury involved a government entity — like a fall on city-owned property — you must file a Notice of Claim within 90 days, or you could lose your right to sue.
We fight to recover the full scope of compensation available to you, including:
Medical bills (current and future)
Lost income and reduced earning capacity
Pain and suffering
Emotional distress
Loss of enjoyment of life
Every case is different, and the amount you can recover depends on your injuries, the strength of your evidence, and how the accident impacted your life.
