New Jersey personal injury law is governed by the Comparative Negligence Act, codified at N.J.S.A. 2A:15-5.1 et seq. This statute allows you to recover damages for injuries caused by another party’s negligence, but your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault. If you are found more than 50% at fault, you are barred from recovery. The statute also covers the verbal threshold for auto accident cases, which limits your right to sue for pain and suffering unless you sustained a qualifying serious injury.
