Terms of Use

1. This website is information, not legal advice

Everything on this site — the practice area pages, the guidance library, the articles, the FAQs — is general information about personal injury law in New York and New Jersey. It is not legal advice, and you should not treat it as legal advice for your situation.

Personal injury cases turn on their specific facts. Two accidents that look similar can have completely different outcomes because of who was involved, where it happened, what insurance was in place, what the medical evidence shows, and when the claim was brought. Nothing on this site can account for that.

The law also changes. We try to keep the site current, but we do not promise that every page reflects the latest state of the law, and we are not obliged to update it.

Do not delay getting advice because of something you read here. If you think you may have a claim, speak to a lawyer.

2. Using this site does not make us your lawyers

Reading this site, submitting a form, sending an email or calling us does not create an attorney-client relationship.

We will only represent you if:

1. We have reviewed your matter,
2. We have run a conflict-of-interest check,
3. We have agreed to take the case, and
4. You have signed a written retainer agreement with the firm.

Until all four of those things have happened, we are not your lawyers and we are not acting for you.

The firm may decline any matter, for any reason, and is under no obligation to take a case. A free case review is exactly that — a review. It is not an offer of representation.

3. Do not send us confidential information yet

Because the steps in section 2 have not happened, information you send us through this site may not be treated as confidential or privileged, and sending it may not prevent us from representing someone whose interests are adverse to yours.

When you first get in touch, tell us only what we need to make contact and understand the basics: what happened, roughly when, and how to reach you. Do not send medical records, insurance documents, court papers, settlement correspondence, Social Security numbers or financial details through this website.

Once we have spoken and, if appropriate, agreed to work together, we will tell you how to send documents securely.

4. Time limits on claims

Personal injury claims are subject to strict deadlines, called statutes of limitations. In New York and New Jersey these deadlines are usually measured in years, but there are important exceptions — claims against public entities, for example, can require formal notice within a much shorter period, sometimes as little as 90 days.

If you miss the deadline, you usually lose the right to bring the claim entirely, no matter how strong it was.

Nothing on this site tells you what your deadline is, and contacting us does not stop the clock. Only a signed retainer agreement puts the firm on your matter. If you think a deadline may be close, say so when you contact us, and speak to a lawyer straight away.

5. Where we practice

Hunt Injury Law practices in New Jersey and New York. Our attorneys are admitted in the states and courts listed on their individual profile pages.

This website is not an offer to represent anyone in a state where the firm’s attorneys are not admitted, and nothing here should be read as an attempt to practice law in a jurisdiction where we are not authorized to do so. If you contact us about a matter outside New Jersey or New York, we will tell you, and we may suggest you look for a lawyer admitted in the right state.

6. Ownership of the site

The content on this site — text, page designs, layout, graphics, photographs, video, logos and the Hunt Injury Law name and marks — is owned by Hunt & Associates, LLC or used under license, and is protected by copyright, trademark and other laws.

You may: read the site, print or download individual pages for your own personal, non-commercial use, and link to the site.

You may not, without our written permission: copy, republish, sell, license or redistribute the content; use it to build a competing website or a marketing product; frame or mirror the site; use our name, logo or marks in a way that suggests we endorse you; or remove any copyright or attribution notice.

Automated access. You may not use bots, scrapers or automated tools to copy the site, harvest contact details, or take content for training or building a dataset or model, except for standard search engine indexing that respects our robots.txt file.

7. What you must not do

When using this site, you must not:

• Break any applicable law
• Submit false information, impersonate anyone, or use someone else’s contact details
• Send anything unlawful, abusive, defamatory, obscene or harassing
• Upload malware, or attempt to interfere with, overload, probe or gain unauthorized access to the site or any system behind it
• Use the site’s forms or phone numbers to send advertising, spam or solicitations to the firm
• Collect personal information about other users

8. Links to and from other sites

We link to other websites for convenience — courts, government resources, bar associations, rating and directory services, and organizations that have recognized the firm. A link is not an endorsement. We do not control those sites, we are not responsible for their content or accuracy, and we are not responsible for anything you do there.

You may link to our home page, so long as the link does not suggest an association, sponsorship or endorsement that does not exist. We may ask you to remove a link at any time.

9. Reviews and results shown on this site

Any case results, testimonials or client reviews on this site relate to specific matters with specific facts. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. Results may vary depending on your particular facts and legal circumstance. Please read our Disclaimer and Attorney Advertising Notice for the full position.

10. The site is provided “as is”

We work to keep the site accurate and available, but we do not promise that it will be error-free, uninterrupted, secure, or free of viruses.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the site and its content are provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or non-infringement.

Some states do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

11. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Hunt & Associates, LLC and its attorneys, employees and agents will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, data, goodwill or business opportunity, arising out of or connected with your use of this site — even if we have been told such damages are possible.

Where liability cannot be excluded, our total liability arising out of or connected with this site is limited to one hundred US dollars ($100).

Nothing in these terms limits our liability for anything that cannot be limited by law, and nothing in these terms limits or affects our professional obligations to our clients. This section is about use of the website. It does not apply to the firm’s legal services to clients.

Some states do not allow certain limitations of liability, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

12. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Hunt & Associates, LLC and its attorneys, employees and agents from any claims, losses, liabilities and reasonable legal fees arising out of your misuse of this site, your breach of these terms, or your violation of any law or of anyone else’s rights.

13. Governing law and where disputes are heard

These terms, and any dispute arising out of them or out of your use of this site, are governed by the laws of the State of New Jersey, without regard to its conflict of laws rules.

You and the firm agree that any such dispute will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Bergen County, New Jersey, and you consent to the jurisdiction of those courts.

This section applies to use of this website only. It does not apply to the firm’s representation of a client. If you become a client, the terms of your retainer agreement govern your relationship with the firm, and those terms take priority over these.

14. General

Changes. We may update these terms at any time. The current version is always the one posted here, with the “Last updated” date at the top. If you keep using the site after we make a change, you accept the new terms.

Severability. If any part of these terms is found to be unenforceable, the rest stays in force.

No waiver. If we do not enforce a term, that does not mean we have given up the right to enforce it later.

Entire agreement. These terms, together with our Privacy Policy and our Disclaimer and Attorney Advertising Notice, are the whole agreement between you and the firm about your use of this site.
