Burn Injury Lawyer Hunterdon County, New Jersey
In New Jersey, personal injury claims, including burn injuries, are governed by the New Jersey Comparative Negligence Act (N.J.S.A. 2A:15-5.1 et seq.). This statute establishes a modified comparative fault rule: you may recover damages only if you are less than 50% at fault for the accident. If you are found 50% or more at fault, you are barred from recovery entirely. Burn injury cases often involve complex liability issues, such as product defects under the New Jersey Products Liability Act (N.J.S.A. 2A:58C-1 et seq.) or premises liability claims. The statute of limitations for personal injury in New Jersey is generally two years from the date of the injury, per N.J.S.A. 2A:14-2. Missing this deadline permanently bars your claim in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Law Division — Civil Part (Hunterdon County). Founded in 1997 by Mr. Sris, former prosecutor — Law Offices Of SRIS, P.C. brings 120+ years combined legal experience.
