KSM has recovered hundreds of millions for New Jersey injury victims. Below are our core practice areas. The information on this page is general in nature and does not constitute legal advice. Every case is different — contact us for a free consultation about your specific situation.
Auto accidents are one of the most common causes of serious injury in New Jersey. KSM has represented victims of car crashes, truck collisions, motorcycle accidents, bus accidents, and pedestrian knockdowns for over 70 years — recovering millions from negligent drivers and their insurers.
Whether you were hit by a distracted driver, struck by a commercial truck, injured on NJ Transit, or hurt in a rideshare accident, our attorneys know how to build the strongest possible case and refuse to settle for less than you deserve.
Property owners — including landlords, businesses, municipalities, and the State of New Jersey — have a legal duty to maintain safe conditions for visitors and passersby. When they fail, and someone is seriously injured, KSM holds them accountable.
We have recovered millions on behalf of clients injured in parking lots, on public sidewalks, in stores, on stairs, in apartment buildings, and on construction sites — often in cases where the property owner had known about the dangerous condition for months or years.
When a doctor, hospital, or healthcare provider fails to meet the standard of care, and that failure seriously harms a patient, they can be held legally accountable. Medical malpractice cases are among the most complex in all of personal injury law — and KSM has the experience and resources to handle them.
We work with leading medical experts to build rigorous cases against negligent physicians, surgeons, hospitals, and healthcare systems across New Jersey.
Construction sites are among the most dangerous workplaces in New Jersey. Falls from scaffolds and ladders, being struck by falling objects, trench collapses, and equipment failures cause catastrophic injuries every day. New Jersey law provides powerful protections for injured construction workers — and KSM aggressively enforces them.
Losing a loved one due to someone else’s negligence is a devastating experience. A wrongful death claim allows surviving family members to seek compensation for their loss — including lost income, loss of companionship, and funeral expenses. KSM handles these sensitive cases with the utmost care and determination.
We have represented surviving spouses, children, and parents in wrongful death cases arising from car accidents, medical malpractice, construction accidents, civil rights violations, and more — fighting to ensure that negligent parties are held fully accountable.
If you are injured on the job, New Jersey law entitles you to workers’ compensation benefits — including medical treatment, temporary disability, and permanent disability payments. Attorney Jay H. Bernstein is certified by the NJ Supreme Court as a workers’ compensation specialist with 30+ years of experience representing injured workers statewide.
We also handle Social Security Disability claims and can pursue third-party personal injury actions on your behalf when your injury was caused by someone other than your employer.
When a defective product causes serious injury, the manufacturer, designer, or retailer can be held responsible. Product liability cases require rigorous engineering and medical expert analysis — and KSM has the experience and resources to take on large corporations.
We have successfully prosecuted defective design cases, manufacturing defect claims, and failure-to-warn cases against Fortune 500 companies and major medical device manufacturers.
New Jersey is a strict liability state for dog bites — meaning the owner is liable for injuries caused by their dog even if the dog has never bitten anyone before. KSM has recovered compensation for dog bite victims experiencing serious physical injuries, facial scarring, and lasting emotional trauma.
