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 are barred from recovering damages if you are found 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. For example, if you are 20% at fault and your damages total $100,000, you may recover $80,000. The statute also covers the NJ Automobile Insurance statute (verbal/limitation threshold) and the Products Liability Act (2A:58C-1 et seq.).

For the official statute text, see N.J.S.A. 2A:15-5.1 (official New Jersey Legislature). For court procedures, visit the Superior Court of NJ, Cumberland Vicinage website.
