With you from the first call to the last, backed by a full legal team across four offices. Free, confidential case review.
A personal injury law firm
for New Jersey & New York.
Onal Injury Law is a personal injury law firm with offices in Elmwood Park and Cliffside Park, New Jersey, Staten Island, New York, and Sugar Land, Texas. Founded by attorney John Onal — recognized as a Super Lawyers Rising Star (2023–2025) and an Avvo Clients' Choice honoree — the firm represents people hurt in car accidents, truck accidents, rideshare crashes, workplace accidents, falls, and other serious incidents across both states.
Every client has a dedicated legal team from the first conversation to the last. Every case is prepared as if it will go to trial, and every consultation is free and confidential, in English, Turkish, or Spanish. Whether your accident happened on a Bergen County road or a Staten Island street, the firm that answers is the one that handles your case.
What our clients say.
No Case Too Small.
No Case Too Big.
A fender-bender with a sore neck. A serious injury that changes everything. To us, they get the same thing: our team's full attention, a full investigation into what happened, and a file built as if it's going to trial — because that preparation is what makes the other side take a case seriously in the first place.
Your case doesn't get passed from desk to desk. You get a team that explains what's happening in plain English and stays on your case from the first conversation to the last.
That's true whether your case is straightforward or complicated. Free consultation, straight answers, and a real read on where your case stands.
A full legal team.
Personal attention.
The other side is counting on you to give up. John Onal built Onal Injury Law so that doesn't happen. The firm runs on one principle: every injured client deserves a lawyer who treats their case like the only one that matters, and who takes it personally from day one.
When you hire us, your case gets a dedicated legal team: attorneys who build the case, and staff who gather records, track every deadline, and keep it moving while you focus on getting better. You always know who is handling your case, and you can reach them.
That's the difference from the high-volume billboard firms, where files get passed to whoever is free. Here your case stays with the same team from start to finish, and it's prepared as if it will go to trial, because that preparation is what makes the other side take it seriously.
Our offices are in New Jersey, New York, and Texas — but you can call us from anywhere in the United States. We review cases from other states as well, and when it's required, we work alongside counsel admitted in that state so your case is handled properly from start to finish. The consultation is always free.

New Jersey injury law,
in plain English.
Most injured people in New Jersey never learn the rules that decide their case — they're buried in statutes and fine print nobody explains. Here are the four that matter most, and why talking to a personal injury lawyer early changes the outcome.
See A Doctor First — Then Document Everything
Prompt medical care does two things: it protects your health, and it creates the record that connects your injuries to what happened. Photos of the scene, witness names, and a simple journal of your symptoms all strengthen a car accident case later — and none of it can be recreated after the fact.
Be Careful What You Sign — Or Say On The Record
In the days after an accident, you may be asked for recorded statements and quick signatures. What you say and sign early can shape your entire case — and those requests are rarely designed with your interests in mind. Have an attorney look first. It takes one phone call, and it can save your case.
You Usually Have Two Years — Sometimes Far Less
Most New Jersey injury lawsuits must be filed within two years under N.J.S.A. 2A:14-2. But if a public entity is involved — a city bus, a county road, a public building — the Tort Claims Act requires formal notice within 90 days. Wait too long and even a strong case is gone.
Being Partly At Fault Doesn't End Your Case
New Jersey uses modified comparative negligence: as long as you were not more than 50% responsible, your case can still go forward, adjusted by your share of fault. The other side routinely inflates that percentage — in slip & fall and workplace accident cases especially. Pushing back on the fault split is often where a case is won.
Hurt in New York? The rules are different — start with our New York car accident and New York truck accident guides. Comparing your options first? That's smart. Start with our guide to personal injury lawyers in New Jersey — then call us for a free, no-obligation read on your case.

Your questions,
answered straight.
How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer in New Jersey?+
Nothing up front. Your consultation is free and confidential, and your attorney will explain exactly how representation works when you talk.
How long do I have to file an injury case?+
In New Jersey, most injury lawsuits must be filed within two years under N.J.S.A. 2A:14-2. In New York, the general deadline is three years under CPLR §214. Cases involving a public entity carry much shorter notice deadlines in both states — often 90 days — so it's best to call as soon as possible.
What happens after I contact Onal Injury Law?+
You speak directly with the firm about what happened, get clear answers about your rights and the deadlines that apply, and leave knowing exactly what your next step is. The consultation is free, confidential, and carries no obligation.
Do I have to go to court?+
Most cases resolve without a trial. But we prepare every case as if it will go to court — and that preparation is often exactly what produces a strong result without one.
What should I do after a car accident?+
Get to safety and call 911, seek medical care even if you feel fine, document the scene and your injuries, and speak with an attorney before giving any recorded statement.
Does Onal Injury Law serve my area?+
Yes. We serve clients throughout New Jersey — including Bergen County, Elmwood Park, Cliffside Park, Hackensack, Paterson, and Clifton — as well as Staten Island and the rest of New York City. We also have an office in Sugar Land, Texas. If you were injured in another state, call us anyway — we review those cases too, and work with locally admitted counsel where required.
