Statutory Definition of Personal Injury in Camden County
Personal injury law in New Jersey allows you to seek compensation when another party’s negligence causes harm. The NJ Comparative Negligence Act (N.J.S.A. 2A:15-5.1 et seq.) governs fault allocation. Under this statute, your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault. You are barred from recovery entirely if you are found more than 50% at fault. The NJ Automobile Insurance Statute (verbal threshold) and Products Liability Act (2A:58C-1 et seq.) also apply to specific case types. Founded in 1997, our firm has over 120 years of combined legal experience.
