New Jersey personal injury law is governed by the NJ Comparative Negligence Act (N.J.S.A. 2A:15-5.1 et seq.). This statute establishes a modified comparative fault system: you can recover damages only if you are 50% or less at fault for the accident. If you are found more than 50% at fault, you are barred from recovery. Damages include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and loss of consortium. Unlike some states, New Jersey does not impose caps on personal injury damages in most cases. The statute of limitations for filing a personal injury lawsuit in Hunterdon County is two years from the date of injury. Cases are filed in the Law Division of the Superior Court of NJ, Hunterdon Vicinage, located at 65 Park Avenue, Flemington, NJ 08822.
