In New Jersey, accidents involving multiple at-fault parties are handled under the state’s “modified comparative negligence” rule. This means that each party’s degree of fault is assessed, and compensation is adjusted accordingly. If you are found to be more than 50% at fault, you cannot recover damages. However, if you are 50% or less at fault, you can recover damages, but your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault. It’s crucial to gather evidence and work with an experienced attorney to ensure a fair assessment of liability. Understanding New Jersey’s approach to shared fault can significantly impact the outcome of your claim.
