Personal Injury
We represent clients injured due to negligence, including car accidents, slip-and-falls, and workplace incidents. Our attorneys negotiate with insurers to recover compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. With decades of experience, we ensure clients receive full financial recovery for both current and future needs.
Car Accidents
Our team handles car accident cases involving distracted driving, DUIs, and uninsured motorists. We analyze police reports, medical records, and witness statements to prove liability. Clients receive guidance on insurance negotiations and court representation to secure settlements covering vehicle damage, medical costs, and emotional trauma.
Wrongful Death
We assist families in pursuing wrongful death lawsuits caused by accidents, medical malpractice, or premises liability. Our attorneys calculate damages for lost income, funeral expenses, and emotional distress. We navigate New Jersey's modified comparative fault laws to maximize compensation while providing compassionate support during probate proceedings.

We represent victims of dog bites under New Jersey's strict liability laws. Our team collaborates with medical experts to document injuries and negotiate with homeowners' insurers. Clients receive compensation for surgeries, scarring, and psychological trauma, with cases often resolved through pre-trial settlements or jury trials.

We litigate cases involving defective tools, vehicles, and consumer goods. Our attorneys identify design, manufacturing, and marketing defects to hold manufacturers accountable. Clients recover damages for medical expenses, lost income, and permanent disabilities caused by faulty products, often through class-action lawsuits or individual settlements.

Report
We were referred to Seth Malkin after a conversation with a friend regarding the poor response from another attorney. What a difference Seth and his staff immediately provided. Attententive, professional and informative are just a few of the positive attributes we immediately recognized. A long process delayed by the shutdowns from Covid did not stop Seth from staying on top of every step that was required. Many conversations, never rushed, gave insight to the complexities of these steps. Guidance was given based on our needs. There was never a feeling that we were simply being put through a common

Seth Malkin and his team are truly a professional practice. I have used this firm more than once and they were always communicative in a timely fashion. Seth and his assistant, Maritza were in constant contact as to where my case was in the system. I would highly recommend using this legal practice and the honest and fair approach they maintain.
