What the Law Says

Secaucus personal injury claims are governed by:

N.J.S.A. 39:6A-8 — verbal threshold: the gatekeeper for pain-and-suffering claims
N.J.S.A. 2A:14-2 — two-year statute of limitations for personal injury actions
New Jersey negligence law: modified comparative fault (plaintiff recovers if less than 50% at fault)

The verbal threshold bars pain-and-suffering claims unless the injury falls within defined categories (permanent injury, significant disfigurement, fracture, etc.) or the no-threshold option was purchased at policy renewal. Premises-liability and slip-and-fall claims are not subject to the verbal threshold — they proceed on general negligence principles. Avery & Avery, Esqs. evaluates every Secaucus injury claim against these standards before advising on litigation strategy.
