New Jersey Marijuana Lawsuits in State or Federal Court
NJ cannabis lawsuits can be filed in state or federal court. Selecting a jurisdiction is generally based on: 1) whether all parties inhabit New Jersey, and 2) the severity of marijuana-related injuries.
New Jersey State Cannabis Claims
When all parties reside in New Jersey, cannabis lawsuits of any magnitude can be filed in the State’s county courts (NJ Courts Website). The New Jersey Rules of Court sets forth the State’s procedural law for mental health claims attributed to dispensary marijuana.
The State of New Jersey follows a modified comparative negligence rule. Accordingly, a New Jersey cannabis lawyer can recover damages for wrongful conduct by growers and dispensaries provided the plaintiff is less than 51% at fault. However, the dispensary victim’s financial award may be reduced by their own degree of fault (if any).
3rd Circuit Cannabis Claims in New Jersey
New Jersey is part of the Third Circuit of the federal court system, and individual cannabis lawsuits can be filed at its local U.S. District Court. Marijuana dispensary appeals are heard by the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals.
Provided the psychological harm is severe, cannabis claims can be filed in this court against growers and dispensaries nationwide.
However, federal marijuana lawsuits filed in New Jersey may be transferred to a centralized jurisdiction pursuant to a mental health Multi-District Litigation (MDL) Transfer Order. (Follow this link for our additional information on 3rd Circuit cannabis compensation.)
