New Jersey’s Comparative Negligence Act, N.J.S.A. 2A:15-5.1 et seq., governs personal injury claims. 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. This modified comparative fault rule applies to all personal injury cases in Hunterdon County.
