New Jersey Personal Injury Law in Monmouth County
New Jersey personal injury law is governed by the Comparative Negligence Act, N.J.S.A. 2A:15-5.1 et seq. Under this statute, you can recover damages if you are 50% or less at fault for the accident. Damages include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and loss of consortium. New Jersey also has a verbal threshold for auto accident cases, which limits your right to sue for pain and suffering unless you sustained a qualifying serious injury. The Products Liability Act, N.J.S.A. 2A:58C-1 et seq., governs claims against manufacturers for defective products. A Product Liability Lawyer Monmouth County can help you understand how these laws apply to your specific case.
