When a crash happens in New Jersey, determining fault is rarely simple. In many cases, both drivers may share responsibility, which is where comparative negligence comes into play. This rule can reduce your compensation based on your percentage of fault — and insurance companies often use it to limit what they pay.
Our team at Gonzalez & Associates Law Office understands how quickly blame can shift after an accident. Even a slight change in fault percentage can affect your recovery.
If you were injured in Hudson County and are worried about shared fault, do not assume the insurance company is correct. We encourage you to reach out so we can review your situation and help protect your right to fair compensation.
