Construction accident claims in New Jersey are governed by the New Jersey Comparative Negligence Act (N.J.S.A. 2A:15-5.1 et seq.), which allows you to recover damages even if you are partially at fault, as long as your fault does not exceed 50%. The statute of limitations for personal injury claims is generally two years from the date of the injury under N.J.S.A. 2A:14-2. Claims against government entities may require a notice of claim within 90 days.
