New Brunswick Personal Injury Lawyers

New Brunswick Personal Injury Lawyers

Key Takeaways

• New Jersey law generally gives injured individuals two years from the date of an accident to file a personal injury lawsuit, with exceptions for claims against government entities and cases involving minors.
• New Jersey’s threshold and comparative negligence rules can reduce or bar compensation depending on injury severity and the injured person’s percentage of fault.
• Our New Brunswick personal injury lawyers’ role includes investigating liability, valuing damages, and negotiating with insurance companies before any lawsuit needs to be filed.

According to preliminary 2025 data released by the New Jersey Office of the Attorney General, statewide traffic fatalities dropped by nearly 15% between 2024 and 2025, falling from 684 deaths to 547. Even with this progress, the totals confirm that traffic-related injuries remain a significant concern across our state.

New Brunswick is located at a crossroads of Route 1, Route 18, the New Jersey Turnpike, and NJ Transit’s Northeast Corridor rail line, all of which intersect with a dense pedestrian population tied to Rutgers University, downtown, and hospitals such as St. Peter’s. That produces a wide range of personal injury cases, from highway collisions to pedestrian and premises liability claims. Our New Brunswick personal injury lawyers at Rebenack Aronow & Mascolo L.L.P. handle these matters with working knowledge of Middlesex County Superior Court procedures and the claims-handling practices of insurers operating in the region.

$170 Million for Clients in 10 Years

$12 Million Verdict Awarded in Warren County: In the first civil jury trial in Warren County in 13 years, a jury awarded a $12 million verdict to a plaintiff severely injured when a tractor-trailer struck the rear of his vehicle on Route 78 in Greenwich Township. The verdict included $4 million in compensatory damages and $8 million in punitive damages, a record verdict.

$8,401,500 Jury Verdict for Auto Accident Injuries: Partner Ed Rebenack litigated a case against NJM, the client’s own insurance company, after she suffered neck and back injuries in two separate car accidents. Because the other drivers lacked sufficient coverage, NJM was responsible under her underinsured motorist policy. When NJM refused to meet the settlement demand, a Middlesex County jury decided the case and awarded $8,401,500, which the court will reduce as a result of insurance coverage limits.

New Jersey’s Comparative Negligence Standard

New Jersey follows a modified comparative negligence standard: An injured person can recover damages as long as they are not found more than 50% responsible for what happened. Any award is reduced by their share of fault, and no recovery is allowed if fault exceeds that threshold. This applies to claims filed in Middlesex County Superior Court, including collisions along Route 27 and falls on properties near Rutgers, making fault allocation a central issue locally.

Filing Personal Injury Claims in Middlesex County

Personal injury lawsuits filed in Middlesex County are heard at the Superior Court civil division, located at 56 Paterson Street in New Brunswick. Cases seeking more than $20,000 fall under the Civil Division, whereas smaller claims proceed through the Special Civil Part. Filed complaints typically move through discovery, mediation or arbitration, and, if unresolved, trial before a judge or jury.
