What Is a Burn Injury Claim in Sussex County?
A burn injury claim in Sussex County falls under New Jersey personal injury law. The primary statute governing fault is the NJ Comparative Negligence Act (N.J.S.A. 2A:15-5.1 et seq.). Under this law, you can recover damages if you are 50% or less at fault for the accident. Your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you are 20% at fault and your damages are $100,000, you receive $80,000. Burn injuries often result from car accidents, workplace incidents, defective products, or property fires. The statute of limitations for filing a personal injury lawsuit in New Jersey is two years from the date of the injury. Missing this deadline bars your claim permanently. The firm was founded in 1997 by Mr. Sris, a former prosecutor who now dedicates his practice to representing injury victims.
