New Jersey law uses a comparative fault scheme for motor vehicle accident claims. Under comparative fault, an injured party can still recover compensation for their damages and injuries even if he or she is partially at fault for the accident (but less than majority at-fault for the accident). The comparative fault system assigns a percentage of fault, if any, to each driver in an accident. An injured party’s right to recover compensation is reduced by the percentage of fault, if any, assigned to that party.

Frequently Asked Questions About Highway Accidents
When multiple vehicles are involved in a highway accident, it can be difficult to determine who is at fault for the accident and the specific allocations of fault among multiple responsible parties. In some cases, multiple parties who are at fault for a highway accident may agree to a specific allocation of fault in a settlement agreement, or allocation may be determined by a jury at trial. In any event, having multiple vehicles in a highway accident means that multiple insurance policies are at play, which can make it more likely that you recover greater compensation for your injuries. But having multiple vehicles and insurance policies in effect can also make negotiations more difficult. That is why it is important to have an experienced highway accident attorney on your side to represent your interests.
If the other drivers at fault in your highway accident lack auto insurance or enough coverage, you may be able to recover compensation for your medical expenses from your own auto insurance policy’s personal injury protection coverage. You may also be entitled to recover compensation from your insurance policy’s uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage. Finally, in rare situations, you can file a legal claim against the at-fault driver to recover compensation from the driver himself or herself.
