Does New Jersey have a law governing Comparative Negligence?
Yes. The statutory cite is New Jersey Statutes Annotated (NJSA) 2A:15-5.2. Most states have similar laws, but there may be differences in how much or how little a person can be at fault and still collect all or a portion of the damages. New Jersey’s law does not provide specific guidelines or dictate procedures for assessing fault and responsibility. The amount of fault is determined on a case by case basis depending on the circumstances surrounding the incident.
