New Jersey Personal Injury Laws & Deadlines

New Jersey follows a modified comparative negligence rule, allowing recovery even if you're partially at fault, as long as you're less than 51% responsible for the accident. The state has a two-year statute of limitations for most personal injury claims, with limited exceptions for discovery of injuries. New Jersey's No-Fault Insurance Law requires Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage but allows lawsuits for serious injuries that meet the verbal threshold or exceed the monetary threshold.
