New Jersey Personal Injury Law
In New Jersey, the limitation period for personal injury claims is 2 years from the date of injury (N.J.S.A. § 2A:14-2). Missing this deadline typically bars your claim permanently.
Wrongful death claims must be filed within 2 years under N.J.S.A. § 2A:31-3.

New Jersey follows a modified comparative fault rule (51% bar). You can recover damages if you are 50% or less at fault, but your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault. If you are 51% or more at fault, you recover nothing.
New Jersey is a no-fault auto insurance state. After an accident, you first file a claim with your own insurer regardless of who caused the accident. You can sue the at-fault driver only if injuries meet a severity threshold.
New Jersey minimum auto insurance: $15,000/$30,000 bodily injury, $5,000 property damage.
