Our ongoing knowledge in New Jersey and New York state laws can get you the compensation you deserve if we decide to take your case. For instance, New Jersey is a comparative negligence state, which means that the plaintiff can win damages as long as his or her negligence was not greater than that of the other party involved.
You can be partially negligent and still win damages, as long as the other party contributed more than 50% of the negligence in play. New York, however, follows a rule of “pure comparative negligence” which means, as a plaintiff, your compensation can be reduced by an amount equal to your percentage of fault. These things are important to note and we will guide you through your options based on location and situation!
