Frequently Asked Questions
What is the statute of limitations for a personal injury lawsuit in New Jersey?
Two years. You have two years from the date of your injury to file a lawsuit in New Jersey Superior Court. Missing this deadline will almost certainly bar your claim forever, making immediate consultation with a lawyer essential.
How does New Jersey’s comparative negligence law affect my case?
It reduces your recovery. Under N.J.S.A. 2A:15-5.1, your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault. However, if you are found 50% or more at fault, you cannot recover any damages. A lawyer fights to minimize your assigned fault percentage.
What is the “verbal threshold” in New Jersey auto insurance?
It limits lawsuits. If you chose the “verbal threshold” (limitation on lawsuit) option on your auto policy, you must prove your injury meets one of six serious categories (e.g., significant disfigurement, displaced fracture) to sue for pain and suffering. A Personal Injury Law Firm Burlington County NJ can evaluate if your injury qualifies.
Will my case go to trial?
It depends. Many cases settle through negotiation or mandatory arbitration. However, if a fair settlement cannot be reached, your attorney must be fully prepared to present your case to a Burlington County jury to seek the compensation you deserve.
What should I do immediately after an accident?
Prioritize health and evidence. Get medical help, call the police to file a report, take photos of the scene and your injuries, collect contact information from witnesses, and then contact a Personal Injury Lawyer Burlington County NJ before giving any detailed statements to insurance companies.
