Managing Partner - Personal Injury
Robert C.
Papa, Jr.
Robert Papa has spent over 15 years securing significant recoveries for people injured through no fault of their own - with a track record and reputation that insurers take seriously.
Robert Papa came to plaintiff-side practice with one of the most valuable advantages a personal injury attorney can have: he knows exactly how the other side thinks. As a named partner at Corradino & Papa - one of New Jersey's most prominent personal injury firms - he developed a track record of multi-million dollar recoveries and earned a reputation as an attorney insurers negotiate with seriously.
After graduating from Seton Hall University School of Law, Robert clerked for the Honorable Joseph F. Scancarella, then the Presiding Judge of the Civil Division in Passaic County. That experience gave him something law school cannot teach - a firsthand understanding of how cases are evaluated, how judges think, and what separates cases that settle fairly from those that don't.
Over the course of his career, Robert has recovered millions of dollars for clients injured in motor vehicle and trucking accidents, workplace incidents, slip and fall cases, dog bite attacks, and wrongful death matters. Representative recoveries include a $1.3 million settlement for a client rear-ended in a motor vehicle accident, an $800,000 recovery for a client who suffered brain and spine injuries in a trucking collision, and a $750,000 settlement for a client who required cervical spine fusion surgery after a highway crash.
Robert is Certified by the New Jersey Supreme Court as a Civil Trial Attorney - a distinction earned by fewer than 3% of licensed attorneys in New Jersey. He is also recognized by Super Lawyers® and named to the Top One Percent by the National Association of Distinguished Counsel.

Beyond the courtroom
Personal background.
Growing up in a working-class family gave him a ground-level understanding of what it means to face a serious injury without financial resources — and what is at stake when a person goes up against a large insurer without proper representation.
Outside the office, Robert is an active member of his local community, coaching youth athletics and volunteering with a legal aid organization that provides free consultations to low-income families. He is a devoted husband, a proud father, and a dedicated grandfather.
