Under New Jersey law, personal injury claims are governed by the Comparative Negligence Act (N.J.S.A. 2A:15-5.1 et seq.). This statute allows you to recover damages even if you were partially at fault, as long as your fault does not exceed 50%. Damages may include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and loss of consortium.

Founded in 1997 by former prosecutor Mr. Sris, Law Offices Of SRIS, P.C. provides full representation for injury victims in Burlington County.
