PA & NJ Accident Victims’ Rights, Deadlines, and Procedures

While both Pennsylvania and New Jersey provide robust legal protections for accident victims, there are notable differences that can affect your case:

Comparative Negligence:

  • Pennsylvania: Follows a pure comparative negligence system. This allows you to recover damages even if you are partially at fault; however, your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault.

  • New Jersey: Employs a modified comparative negligence rule. If your fault exceeds 50%, you may be barred from recovering any damages.

Statute of Limitations:

  • Both states generally enforce a two-year statute of limitations from the date of the accident. However, the starting point for the limitations period and specific exceptions (such as in cases involving minors) can differ.

Insurance Claims Process:

  • New Jersey: Offers certain no-fault benefits for minor injuries with the opportunity to pursue additional damages if a threshold is met.

  • Pennsylvania: Maintains a primarily tort-based system, requiring tailored strategies to maximize recovery under distinct state guidelines.

Understanding these legal nuances is critical for building a strong case, and our dual-state expertise means we can design a personalized legal strategy that meets your situation's unique demands.
