What Compensation Can You Recover for a Personal Injury in NJ?
New Jersey personal injury law allows injured victims to seek compensation for both economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages include medical bills, future medical expenses, lost wages, and diminished earning capacity. Non-economic damages cover pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life.
New Jersey follows a modified comparative negligence rule. This means you can recover damages even if you were partially at fault — as long as you were not more than 50% responsible for the accident. Your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault. An experienced personal injury attorney can build the strongest possible case to maximize your recovery.
Common Causes of Personal Injury Cases in New Jersey
Personal injury claims arise from a wide range of accidents and incidents, including motor vehicle accidents (cars, trucks, motorcycles, and bicycles), slip and fall accidents on someone else’s property, dog bites, construction site injuries, defective product injuries, and medical malpractice. Each type of case involves different legal theories and strategies, which is why working with an attorney who handles New Jersey personal injury law is essential.
The Personal Injury Claims Process in NJ
After an injury, the process typically begins with gathering evidence — police reports, medical records, witness statements, and photographs. Your attorney will then file a claim with the at-fault party’s insurance company. If a fair settlement cannot be reached, a lawsuit may be filed in New Jersey Superior Court. Most personal injury cases resolve through negotiated settlements before trial, but we are fully prepared to litigate when necessary.
The statute of limitations for personal injury claims in New Jersey is generally two years from the date of injury. Missing this deadline can permanently bar your right to compensation, so it is critical to act quickly.
