We are personal injury law specialists. Daniel J. Balena has worked exclusively in the field of personal injury law for over 38 years. During that time he has built an outstanding reputation throughout the legal, medical and insurance communities. His experience, expertise, and professionalism result in the maximum recoveries for individuals injured in motor vehicle accidents. The most common types of personal injury claims are road traffic accidents, accidents at work, tripping accidents, or product defect accidents. The amount of compensation for a personal injury will primarily depend on the severity of the injury. Serious injuries that cause intense physical pain and suffering, such as broken bones, severed limbs, or brain damage, receive the highest injury settlements.
Our goal is to make certain that the client understands what is happening and they are part of the decision making process.
