New Jersey Personal Injury Law: Overview

A personal injury can happen anywhere and at any time, but depending on a number of factors, another party may be culpable for medical costs incurred, loss of wages from an employer, and/or your pain of suffering due to their negligence. Personal injury law is defined as causing “injury to an individual: an actionable injury to an individual person, whether involving physical contact or not and whether fatal or not, but causing pain, discomfort, or injury”.
