Auto collisions are the type of personal injury that occurs most frequently. Many of these accidents occur in construction zones. There
is construction happening all over the state. Currently,
there are Tilton road intersection improvements in Northfield,
restructuring of the Holland Tunnel, and resurfacing of
Route 78. These construction zones and NJDOT projects can
cause dangerous driving situations that might put you at
risk for an accident.

The sections below are some of the New Jersey laws and
requirements in personal injury cases:
In pursuing personal injury cases in New Jersey and to
collect on an injury claim, you must prove that
the person who caused the injury was negligent in their
actions.
Under the New Jersey
Personal Injury Laws You Must Prove:
- The existence of a duty owed to you by the person who
caused your pain
- The other person failed to carry out the duty that
they owed you
-
You suffered damages
- The other person’s failure caused you to have the
injury
Also, the state of New Jersey has a comparative
negligence law. This law states that you can recover against
another person, even if you were also negligent, as long
as the other person was more negligent than you. If more
than one person was negligent towards you, then they are
each proportionally responsible for their share
of the damage that they caused.
What can you claim?
Under New Jersey Personal injury laws, the person(s) who
injured you is responsible for:
- Past, current, and future estimated medical expenses
- Time lost from work, including time spent going to medical
appointments or therapy
- Any property that was damaged, such as your vehicle
- The cost of hiring someone to do household chores when
you could not do them
- Any permanent disfigurement or disability
- Your emotional distress, including anxiety, depression,
fright, shock, and any interference with your family relationships
- Physical pain and suffering
- Change in future earning ability due to the pain that
you suffered
- Any other costs that were a direct result of your injury
It is vital for you to take action now! New
Jersey has a Statute of Limitations for personal injury cases.
In order to receive any type of damages
for your pain, your lawsuit must be filed within two
years of the injury. When filing after the two year rule,
the court may dismiss your lawsuit under this statute.
