Yes. New Jersey follows the modified comparative negligence rule. This means that an injured accident victim can still recover compensation even if he or she was partially responsible for causing the accident and/or his or her injuries, so long as he or she does not bear the majority of the fault. An injured plaintiff partially at fault for an accident will have his or her financial recovery reduced to reflect his or her share of fault — for example, if you incurred $100,000 in damages from an accident you were 20 percent at fault for, your recovery will be reduced by $20,000 to reflect your share of fault.
