No dollar cap, but thresholds in two places
New Jersey has no cap on economic or noneconomic damages in personal injury cases. Punitive damages are the exception: N.J.S.A. 2A:15-5.14 caps them at the greater of five times compensatory damages or $350,000.
The limits that matter are thresholds. Car-accident victims who chose the Limitation on Lawsuit option must meet one of six categories in N.J.S.A. 39:6A-8, and claims against public entities face the pain-and-suffering threshold in N.J.S.A. 59:9-2(d). Fault follows N.J.S.A. 2A:15-5.3, with a 60% threshold for full liability.
