Injuries happen, but oftentimes, these injuries are avoidable if the proper care and attention is paid by those with a duty to do so. These injuries can result in devastating life-altering consequences for an individual and their loved ones, leaving the victim and their family to pick up the pieces and shoulder the burden. Fortunately, New Jersey protects an injured party or their representative to recover damages to alleviate that burden.

In certain cases, New Jersey permits punitive damages, which are capped at $350,000, or five times the amount of any compensatory damages, whichever is greater.
