Real Results For Real People
Workplace Injury
$19.2 Million
The wife of a New Jersey Transit employee who died in 2002 of a job-related lung disease was awarded $19.2 million by a Superior Court jury in New Brunswick. Breathing metal dust and welding fumes exposed him to materials, causing his diagnosis with pulmonary fibrosis.
Medical Malpractice
$18.5 Million
A 25-year-old Plaintiff was undergoing his final chemotherapy treatment for Leukemia, for which he had had over 25 previous treatments. Two weeks later he was readmitted to the hospital, paralyzed from the waist down, likely due to a mistake in pharmaceutical preparation.
Wrongful Death
$12.0 Million
A man was admitted to ER for a believed allergic reaction. Treatment was provided, but the patient worsened, intubation failed, and while in the OR for a surgical airway, the patient suffered cardiac arrest and was pronounced dead. Plantiffs maintained the hospital failed to timely diagnose acute anaphylaxis and administer epinephrine.
Product Liability
$10.6 Million
A 28-year-old Toms River woman was driving her Ford Explorer when the throttle became stuck, causing the vehicle to surge forward and roll over. The woman suffered a paralyzed right arm due to her arm being ejected through the sunroof during the rollover. Over 20 surgeries were performed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Sexual assault and abuse survivors in New Jersey have legal options beyond the criminal justice system. At Eichen Crutchlow Zaslow, LLP, we help survivors pursue civil lawsuits against individuals, institutions, and other negligent parties that enabled or failed to prevent the abuse. Civil claims can provide compensation for medical treatment, emotional trauma, lost income, and pain and suffering, even when criminal charges are not filed or do not result in a conviction. We offer free, confidential consultations at our offices in Edison and Toms River.
Our attorneys have decades of experience standing up for survivors. We handle cases involving:
- Sexual abuse by teachers, coaches, or school staff
- Assaults at hospitals, clinics, or long-term care facilities
- Abuse by clergy or religious leaders
- Workplace sexual assault or harassment
- Assaults in rideshares, hotels, or apartment complexes
- Abuse in juvenile facilities, daycares, or foster care settings
- Child sexual abuse cases, including those involving delayed reporting
In civil sexual abuse lawsuits, survivors can pursue claims against many different types of institutions, including:
- Employers or supervisors who failed to act on complaints
- Schools, daycares, or universities that ignore warning signs
- Religious institutions that covered up known abuse
- Property owners or businesses that failed to provide adequate security (such as hotels and motels)
- Public transportation systems
- Healthcare companies, nursing homes, and other care centers
- Youth organizations, camps, or foster systems that failed to protect minors
- Foster care systems and youth programs
- Government organizations
Our attorneys have the resources and experience to investigate your case thoroughly and pursue justice through all available legal avenues.
Unlike criminal cases, sexual assault civil lawsuits can hold perpetrators and negligent parties financially accountable. Survivors may recover damages for:
- Emotional distress and psychological harm
