Understanding Personal Injury Law in Cape May County
Personal injury law in New Jersey allows injured parties to seek compensation when someone else’s negligence causes harm. The primary statute governing these claims is the New Jersey Comparative Negligence Act (N.J.S.A. 2A:15-5.1 et seq.), which applies a modified comparative fault rule. Under this rule, you are barred from recovery only if you are found more than 50% at fault for the accident. A Product Liability Lawyer Cape May County can explain how these laws apply to your specific situation, especially in cases involving defective products where the manufacturer may be strictly liable under the Products Liability Act (N.J.S.A. 2A:58C-1 et seq.).
