A Former Judge. A Father-Son Trial Firm. Fifty Years of New Jersey Practice.

Hoboken (2020 population 60,057, Hudson County, ZIP 07030) sits in one of northern New Jersey’s most traffic-dense regions. Auto accidents, slip-and-fall incidents, and premises-liability claims from Hoboken all feed into Hudson County Superior Court (Jersey City) — where New Jersey’s verbal threshold rule (N.J.S.A. 39:6A-8) and the Special Civil Part limit determine how and where claims are resolved. Avery & Avery, Esqs. has handled Hudson County personal injury matters for fifty years. Call (201) 943-2445 to discuss your case.

Hoboken’s Court Path for Personal Injury Claims

An auto accident or premises-liability incident in Hoboken generates a civil claim that routes based on damages: under $20,000 goes to the Special Civil Part; over $20,000 goes to Hudson County Superior Court (Jersey City)‘s Civil Division at William J. Brennan Court House, 583 Newark Avenue, Jersey City, NJ 07306. The governing threshold for pain-and-suffering recovery is N.J.S.A. 39:6A-8 (verbal threshold). Two-year statute of limitations under N.J.S.A. 2A:14-2 applies. Avery & Avery, Esqs. has handled Hudson County personal injury matters since 1976 — evaluating threshold eligibility, establishing liability, and pursuing maximum recovery for Hoboken clients.

What the Law Says: NJ Personal Injury Law and Hoboken Claims

Three legal pillars shape personal injury practice in Hoboken:

N.J.S.A. 39:6A-8 — verbal threshold statute (auto-injury pain-and-suffering gate)
N.J.S.A. 2A:14-2 — two-year statute of limitations (start date: injury date)
NJ modified comparative fault — plaintiff can recover if not more than 50% at fault

Auto-accident claims must clear the verbal threshold before pain-and-suffering damages are available. Fractures, permanent injuries, and significant disfigurement all qualify. Non-economic damages are available in full for claims that clear the gate. Avery & Avery, Esqs. has handled Hudson County personal injury cases since 1976, evaluating threshold eligibility at no charge in an initial consultation.

Why Avery & Avery for Hoboken Personal Injury

Fifty years of New Jersey practice — Robert W. Avery began in 1976. He spent fifteen of those years on the bench (Ridgefield Municipal Court, 1986–2000), which means he has seen these cases from both sides of the courtroom. That experience informs every defense strategy the firm develops for Hoboken clients.

Father-son continuity. John S. Avery joined in 2012, giving the firm two active trial attorneys with overlapping but distinct skill sets. For Hoboken clients, that means broader availability and deeper preparation on any given matter.

Results, not promises. The firm does not guarantee outcomes; it guarantees effort and expertise. Delvoye v. Lee, 329 F.3d 330 (3d Cir. 2003) is one example of the firm’s reach beyond purely local practice.
