Re: Personal injury case, venue
Which venue is better may depend more on facts about your case than the county itself. It is infrequent that you can say one county is vastly superior to another as an absolute. Rather, one needs to know the facts of the case, the background of the plaintiff and the background of the defendant, they type of injuries etc to decide which jury pool mighgt be more beneficial. Further, one must consider the type of liability involved. If you would like assistance evaluating your case, please feel free to contact me to discuss it.

if you don't have a lawyer, get one. if you do, then ask your lawyer this question.
I do NOT do this kind of work. I have several friends who do.
Re: Personal injury case, venue
A personal injury can be filed with the Superior Court of New Jersey in
the county where the accident occurred or in the county in which the plaintiff or defendant resides where the complaint is filed.
Middlesex and Essex Counties are plaintiffs oriented venues.
