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 rule: you may recover damages only if you are 50% or less at fault for the accident. If your fault exceeds 50%, you are barred from recovery. The statute also sets the framework for damages including medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and loss of consortium. For motor vehicle accidents, the NJ Automobile Insurance statute (verbal threshold/limitation on lawsuit threshold) may limit your right to sue for non-economic damages unless you sustained a qualifying serious injury. Products liability claims fall under the Products Liability Act (2A:58C-1 et seq.). The statute of limitations for personal injury in NJ is 2 years from the date of injury.

For rear-end collision cases specifically, NJ courts apply a presumption of negligence against the rear driver under N.J.S.A. 39:4-89 (following too closely). This statutory presumption shifts the burden of proof to the rear driver to show a valid defense, such as sudden mechanical failure or an emergency situation. A Rear End Accident Lawyer Middlesex County uses this presumption to build a strong liability case for your claim.
