Christopher T. Karounos

Christopher T. Karounos is a New Jersey civil trial lawyer who concentrates on representing people seriously injured through the negligence of others. His personal injury work includes motor vehicle crashes, trucking incidents, motorcycle accidents, worksite injuries, construction defects, slip, trip and fall matters, watercraft collisions, and assault-related claims. He also has experience handling commercial litigation, trials, and appeals, giving his practice a broader civil litigation foundation.

Karounos earned a Juris Doctorate from Rutgers School of Law-Newark and a Bachelor of Arts in Biology/Biomedical Science from Rutgers College in New Brunswick. He later served as an Adjunct Professor of Law at Rutgers University Law School-Newark, teaching advanced trial presentation, and coached the law school’s National Mock Trial Team. His education and teaching experience reinforce a practice centered on courtroom preparation and persuasive trial advocacy.

Karounos is certified by the Supreme Court of New Jersey as a Civil Trial Attorney. He has secured significant recoveries in worksite, motor vehicle, premises liability, assault, and other injury cases, along with appellate successes in personal injury and commercial matters. He also brings nearly two decades of prior volunteer EMT-D experience, which gives him direct familiarity with trauma situations and the immediate effects serious injuries can have on clients.

Christopher T. Karounos is admitted in New Jersey, the Federal District of New Jersey, and the Third Circuit Court of Appeals. His practice combines personal injury litigation, trial certification, appellate experience, legal education, and a background responding to trauma as an EMT. He uses that experience to prepare complex civil cases, explain litigation issues to clients, present evidence to juries, and pursue claims arising from serious accidents and negligent conduct.
