New Jersey Personal Injury Law
In New Jersey, a personal injury claim arises when someone suffers harm due to another party’s negligent or intentional act. The core legal principle is negligence, which requires proving the defendant owed a duty of care, breached that duty, and caused your injuries. New Jersey follows a modified comparative fault rule under the NJ Comparative Negligence Act (N.J.S.A. 2A:15-5.1 et seq.). This means you can recover damages as long as you are not more than 50% at fault for the accident; your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault.

Key Steps in a Hunterdon County Personal Injury Case
Personal injury cases in Hunterdon County are filed in the NJ Superior Court Law Division in Flemington. The process is detailed and requires strict adherence to court rules and deadlines. A key local procedural fact is that cases with a claimed value under $20,000 are often subject to mandatory, non-binding arbitration before proceeding to a jury trial.

Frequently Asked Questions: Hunterdon County Personal Injury
What is the statute of limitations for a personal injury lawsuit in New Jersey?
Two years. In most cases, you have two years from the date of the injury to file a lawsuit in New Jersey Superior Court. Missing this deadline typically bars your claim forever, so it is crucial to consult a lawyer promptly.
What if I was partially at fault for the accident?
It depends. New Jersey uses a modified comparative negligence rule. You can still recover damages if you are 50% or less at fault, but your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault. If you are found 51% or more at fault, you cannot recover any damages.
How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer?
Most personal injury lawyers, including our firm, work on a contingency fee basis for these cases. This means you pay no upfront attorney fees. We only receive a percentage of the settlement or verdict we obtain for you. If we do not recover compensation, you owe no attorney fees.
What should I do immediately after an accident?
First, seek medical attention for any injuries. Then, if possible, document the scene with photos, get contact information from witnesses, and report the incident to the proper authorities (e.g., police, property manager). Avoid giving detailed statements to insurance adjusters before consulting with your own attorney.
What types of accidents do you handle?
We handle a wide range of personal injury and negligence lawsuits, including car accidents, truck crashes, motorcycle accidents, slip and falls, dog bites, and workplace injuries. Each accident injury claim requires a specific investigation to prove liability and damages.
