New Jersey Personal Injury Law and Your Rights

The primary statute governing these claims is the New Jersey Comparative Negligence Act (N.J.S.A. 2A:15-5.1 et seq.). Under this law, you can recover damages as long as you are not more than 50% at fault for the accident. If you are partially at fault, your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault.
