Hoyt we have the experience, resources and proven track record to help you pursue adequate and appropriate compensation. From our office in Morristown, we serve clients throughout northern New Jersey.

Our attorneys have assembled a panel of spinal cord injury specialists who work with us in preparing these cases.

He has a significant history of successful verdicts and settlements, and has been recognized by peers as one of the top personal injury attorneys in the state by Super Lawyers*. Mr. Hoyt as appeared on national television for legal commentary and is board certified as a trial attorney by the Supreme Court of the State of New Jersey.

The Compensation You Need Today and Tomorrow

The costs associated with a serious spinal cord injury aren't measured only in hospital bill reimbursements. For victims who are facing a lifetime of paralysis as a paraplegic or quadriplegic, the costs are much more serious. Don't settle for too small an offer from an insurance company or hospital that is trying to cover its liability at the lowest price tag possible.

Our office can help you understand your rights, and seek full and fair compensation for malpractice and personal injury cases. We will help your family pursue the resources it needs to pay or make up for:

Surgical Costs
Medical Expenses
Lost Wages
Diminished Earning Potential
Rehabilitation
Long Term Care Costs

When you and your family are facing a lifetime of challenges and expenses associated with spinal cord injury, you can't afford not to talk to an experienced personal injury attorney.

Helping Seriously Injured Clients

The legal system is there to help ordinary people affected by extraordinary situations beyond their control. In the case of personal injury, when you have been the victim of a life changing injury as a result of malpractice or wrongdoing, you have rights and options that are designed to provide you with the resources you need. But you must have an attorney on your side who has the experience and knowledge to be effective.
