New Jersey personal injury law is governed by the New Jersey Comparative Negligence Act, codified at N.J.S.A. 2A:15-5.1 et seq. This statute establishes a modified comparative fault system: you can recover damages only if you are 50% or less at fault for the accident. If your fault exceeds 50%, you are barred from any recovery. The statute also governs how damages are reduced proportionally based on your percentage of fault. A Negligent Security Lawyer Salem County understands how these rules apply to premises liability and negligence claims in Salem County.
