NJ Torts Claims Act

Under N.J.S.A. §59:4-2, a plaintiff is required to prove that public property owned and operated by the government is in a dangerous condition. That dangerous condition, when used by a foreseeable person in a reasonable manner, must be the cause of the plaintiff’s injuries. Finally, the plaintiff must provide objective medical proof that they have sustained the permanent loss of a bodily function as a result of the injury. Specifically, you must have the permanency just described as well as medical expenses in excess of $3,600.00.

Train Accidents in New Jersey

Train Accidents: New Jersey Transit (NJT), which operates the state's commuter rail network, and the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey (PANYNJ), which operates the PATH rapid transit system (the heavy rail system linking Manhattan and major New Jersey communities) are government entities. As such, they are protected under the New Jersey Torts Act, and granted immunity to lawsuits except in cases involving substantial permanent injury.
