Understanding Personal Injury Law in Cumberland County
Personal injury law in New Jersey allows you to seek compensation when someone else’s negligence causes you harm. The primary statute governing these claims is the NJ Comparative Negligence Act (N.J.S.A. 2A:15-5.1 et seq.). This law establishes a modified comparative fault rule: you are barred from recovery only if you are found to be more than 50% at fault for the accident. If you are 50% or less at fault, your damages are reduced by your percentage of fault. Founded in 1997 by former prosecutor Mr. Sris, Law Offices Of SRIS, P.C. brings over 120 years of combined legal experience to every case.
