Where to File in New Jersey
New Jersey gabapentin cases may be filed in the District of New Jersey (Newark, Trenton, or Camden) or in New Jersey Superior Court. The District of New Jersey has managed major pharmaceutical MDLs including Vioxx. Middlesex County's mass tort program efficiently coordinates pharmaceutical claims. New Jersey's Product Liability Act (N.J.S.A. § 2A:58C-1 et seq.) provides statutory framework for design defect and failure-to-warn claims. The state follows modified comparative fault and does not cap compensatory damages.
