New Jersey Laws That Shape Your Case

Two‑Year Statute of Limitations (N.J.S.A. 2A:14‑2)

You have 2 years from the crash date to file a negligence lawsuit. Miss the deadline, and the claim is barred.

Modified Comparative Negligence (N.J.S.A. 2A:15‑5.1 – 5.3)

You can recover damages if you are ≤ 50 % at fault. Your award is reduced by your share of blame.

No‑Fault PIP & Lawsuit Threshold (N.J.S.A. 39:6A‑8)

PIP pays medical bills first. Choosing the “verbal threshold” lowers premiums but limits pain‑and‑suffering suits to serious injuries; selecting “no limitation” preserves full rights.

No Caps on Compensatory Damages (Common‑law; N.J.S.A. 2A:15‑5.12 (punitive cap))

No ceiling on economic or non‑economic damages in auto‑injury cases. Only punitive damages are capped.

Contingency Fee Limits (N.J. Ct. Rule 1:21‑7)

Attorney fees are generally capped at 33 ⅓% of the first $750k, sliding downward for higher tiers. No fee unless we win.
