Modified Comparative Fault in New Jersey

In New Jersey, how is fault determined after a car accident? Can a driver recover if she is also partly to blame for the accident? New Jersey follows what’s called a “modified comparative negligence” regime. New Jersey personal injury lawyer Edward Capozzi explains what modified comparative negligence is and how it determines the amount of recovery for each party in a car accident. He also discusses New Jersey’s no-fault insurance system and minimum coverage requirements.
