New Jersey Personal Injury Law and the Comparative Negligence Act
New Jersey personal injury law is governed by the Comparative Negligence Act (N.J.S.A. 2A:15-5.1 et seq.). This statute establishes a modified comparative fault system: you may recover damages only if your percentage of fault is 50% or less. If you are found more than 50% at fault, you are completely barred from recovery. The statute also covers joint and several liability rules, which affect how damages are apportioned among multiple defendants. Understanding this legal framework is critical when pursuing a claim after an accident in Burlington County.
