New Jersey personal injury law allows you to seek compensation when another party’s negligence caused your burn injuries. The NJ Comparative Negligence Act (N.J.S.A. 2A:15-5.1 et seq.) governs fault allocation. Under this statute, you can recover damages if you are 50% or less at fault. Your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault. Burn injuries from fires, explosions, chemical exposure, or electrical accidents fall under premises liability, product liability, or auto negligence claims. Law Offices Of SRIS, P.C., founded in 1997 by former prosecutor Mr. Sris, has handled personal injury cases for over 28 years.
For the full text of the NJ Comparative Negligence Act, see N.J.S.A. 2A:15-5.1 (official New Jersey Legislature). For court procedures, visit the New Jersey Courts website.
